I love how you collect all the clips from different days, even weeks apart and put it into one video instead of doing what everyone else does and uploading every time they do one thing, often leaving out the conclusion making it highly frustrating to watch. Your videos are complete.
Stokes Pen thanks.
Yes,I like how he takes his time to upload a good video it may take a weeks or months to record a video.
Andrew Camarata hi Andrew like to send you some tools. Can you send me a p.o. box or address
Thanks

So many reasons to admire Andrew but for me the number 1 reason is his he treats his dogs. They’re not pets, they’re family ❤️❤️
The sound of that 65 Merc was music to my ears. Dad and I had a 69 Model with the first year of electronic ignition, Thunderbolt no less, and enjoyed that motor immensely. It was a good motor. started before you could get your hand off the key in start position and ran like Cody after a rabbit. It sounded just like yours. You brought back a lot of late teen memories of dad and I hanging out on the creeks and rivers having a great time. Dad slipped away from us 8 years ago but your video with that cool boat and 65 Merc brought the memories from over 50 years ago back fresh and new again. Warmed my heart, shed a little tear and smile at the same time. Thanks Andrew you are a truly good man!!
Thanks, Yes, that motor has a nice sound.
I can’t believe how good your two dogs are in a boat with that water Both of them are as good as station in the car
I love how after watching you for a long time, you still break out some equipment, machinery, & toys we never knew you had. You have a dang lot of things with motors to maintain, lol. I love it!
You inspired me, I just bought a 1984 Ford F700 single rear axle dump truck. Done a lot of work on it like you had to do on yours when you 1st got it, but runs great now & plan on tailgating stone on a driveway I just built with my tractor on my new property for its 1st project.
Cool. Yeah I have a bunch more vehicles like this that should get a video.
This video was fun to watch. I made a similar repair but with one additional step. I laid a piece of wet/dry sandpaper on my workbench, grit up, and then ran the cylinder plate across it to remove imperfections which leveled the surface. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and boating fun.
@Brexit Monger But of course!
At least stone the surfaces flat, I keep a set of large stones specifically for surfacing. Don't use a stone previously used for sharpening chisels or something, as the stones surfaces won't be flat.
GREAT VIDEO..... I have two things to comment if it happens again .. use a straight edge to lay across the mating surfaces and check for a warped surface or lay the cover plate on a smooth surface use a feeler gage set to find any irregularities. After the scraping and wire wheel followup with a honeing stone where possible. Just some hints that may help.. Best of luck and keep thoes videos comming!
Marine Mech for 30 years. Common problem on those Motors. Always a Good Video. You are one Hard Working guy. Thanks for the Good videos.
When torquing a head or something similar, the recommended way is to start at the middle on both sides and moving back and forth toward each end to in effect “iron” any high or low spots flat.
Leaving spark plug holes exposed while your wire wheeling ?
I love all your videos and have been watching for over a year and a half now, some two or three times. I've always admired you for your work ethics. You are always working on something or some job for somebody. I recently saw one where you did some clutch and brake work on a UTV, and now this one where you repair an outboard motor. Now I see you very much find time for "relaxation and recreation" as well. I was thinking you were a workaholic, and there is nothing wrong with that. A videographer as well. I want to thank you for bringing hours, and hours of wholesome, enjoyable entertainment for me to digest. You CAN be very proud. You leave a much larger footprint than your fellow man. Love you and your vid's. Thanx
I love the sound of those old Mercurys. Makes me nostalgic.
Thank you for sharing your journey on the lake with your dogs, it’s a cool boat you have and thank you for your amazing pictures. God bless you and your family
This video had everything.
I love that old style of boat. Thank you for keeping these old items alive!
drives his boat and flying his drone at the same time. your sick. love your videos. greets from germany.... keep it going.
Loving this video. Back in the early 80's I learned to ski behind a Mercury 650 fitted to a 16ft Fletcher hull. Hearing that engine note brings back some great memories.
When that boat was made, the workers had pride. They did one job their whole life and made it a career and never wanted something coming back for bad quality. Whoever made THAT boat is smiling down on andrew and the doggies knowing that they are still enjoying his work .
..back, when boats had car styling, lookin 'good
Bob, If I'm not mistaken these styling cues are from the iconic 57' Chevy! Lookin good indeed!
I'd say maybe a '57 or '58 Chrysler product : Dodge or Plymouth ?..lol
Yeah, and weren't giant party pads on the water.
Looks like Christine, except blue.
Like in spongebob
This is absolutely one of your best videos, just because of the amount of detail you go into
Great work. The shots of the dogs in the boat on the Hudson are WONDERFUL!
A man & his dogs on the Hudson. A great book title. The dogs are really glad their master is mechanically inclined. Great content & sharing of knowledge.
Great job Andrew, I have been watching your videos for quite some time and this is the first time I am commenting. Your business, workethics reminds me when I was a bit younger, but still going strong in my late 50's, HA!. Keep up the great filming & work!!!!
Thanks
Hello from Victoria Australia, thanks for this boat engine video, everything is built to a price, so everything will have faults. Where you save is you repair everything yourself, good job.
fixed up a bunch of waverunners and fixing my grandpas boat now, thanks for the inspiration. helped me a lot in realizing I could do it myself
Great drone footage! Thanks for taking the time to video all that!
Great video ! The dogs are so cool.
august this was the first time that I realized that it was two dogs that looks the same. 🤣🤗😂

Great to see a boat trimmed properly.
Love that old school boat, classic. Not only a torque spec, but probably a torque pattern spec would be critical on that cast cover. If that hasn't been adhered to over the years, then it's probably warped. Good job, keep em coming!
I was getting ready to say the same thing .
Reminds me of the small fishing boat my Grandpa had. His may have been a tad bigger but not by much. He would sometimes pull a skier but mostly he had it to fish. He was a good fisherman as they always had fish in the freezer. I actually have an old set of "Popular Mechanics" books from the 60's that have plans showing how to build a boat like that (and a cabin cruiser, LOL) from scratch.
Thank you for another amazing video!
Thank you for all of your hints about fixing motors and other equipment I remember using are old 1936 Case tractor pulling out rocks,stumps, and what ever needed to be done according my father. I have watched most of your videos. I have whisked we had more tools for our tractor, however, we did a lot to maintain 18 acres. I am close 80 and I like to see you working on different jobs, and ideas on how modify your equipment.
Andrew might I suggest life preservers for the dogs, as much as you enjoy your labs a boat accident is not the last memory you would want of them.
You live in a great environment, Andrew. Love your dogs. 👍👍
Another awesome video Andrew! Like when you change it up and show your skills. The drone shots are great and your dogs and Sadie cruising along with you on the Hudson will make Sam happy 😃. I have an old 50’s evinrude on a Thompson Lapstrake that I picked up near Windham I need to restore!
Top work champion! You and your dogs enjoy the hell out of that boat, and you deserve to. Legend.
GREAT video. Pro-quality drone shots and fixed camera passes. Thanks!!
Very nice old boat she was moving pretty good thanks for the great video Andrew 👍😎
Beautiful day, great boat, your two best friends in the boat, what else do you want👍 Great job as always
Those Mercurys...unstoppable!
Great quality in high def ...sound too...that little boat rips!
Nice repair Andrew. A boy with his toys. Dogs are happy on the water. Nice video beautiful area. God bless
Great episode 👌, love the different things you show.
You must live in the land of antiques, miss the sound of the old Mercurys the new ones don't sound the same.
Great Job Andrew that boats pretty fast !!! Lacy and Levi can steal your heart.Andrew I hope your taking some time off and enjoying life you work so hard you deserve a break. It Looks like fun times are ahead. Cant wait to see the next video. One last thing you forgot your safety glasses, Safety First !!!
Nice old boat ya have there, thanks fer sharing Andrew....
I think its a beautiful boat!!! Very cool you have taken care of it!!!
As a mechanic I have to say I would have replaced the pitted (manifold, water jacket?), with out hesitation if the part is available.
On any thing of that nature, aluminum particularly, torque specs and torque patterns are very important!!!! Torque specs are usually easy to find. If not look at a similar motor and go with that.
I will also always do it in steps. 10 lbs, then another 10 lbs, etc until you reach the final number.
Torque paterns are also easy to find usually... If not, think about a car wheel. Each bolt across from one another. If there are bolts in the center then work it in a pattern almost like you are drawing a star shape... Edge, center, the opposite edge.....
I didnt mean to lecture anyone. Please dont take it that way.... I hope to see the boat running in another 20 years and your son or daughter taking it from where you left off.... Best of luck and thanks for sharing!!!!!
Cool dogs. Nice boat great that you can keep it running
Drone footage with the boat was awesome.
Thanks
Watching this in 2021 and that craftsman impact driver is a champ. Been in a lot of vids
Good job Andrew, those dogs look like there having fun!
your dogs are the best of the best friends
best boat crew you could have , and the never complained once.
Nice job on the engine repair. Glad to see both pups on board for a ride. If they only had a few ducks to retrieve.
Wow, the boat looks fast out of the gate. Classic little boat and lots of fun.
Best drone footage yet! Thought I was watching a boat commercial for a second!
Amazing drone shots and repairs ! Bravo !!
Reminds me when I was a kid in the 70s living on Lake Norman, North Carolina. We had a Glass Master with a 65 Johnson. That's back in the day when Lake Norman had water in it. The last time I saw it on Google it was about 7 feet down.. 🇬🇧
Damn andrew can fix anything. I mean anything you put in front of him. He’s got it running or fixed any problem. I stopped buying projects because I don’t have the patience that he does
I llove that your not afraid to fix anything. good job
Excellent video loving the boat and your lab's
Dude!:)
That cast plate that you were carving the gasket off of, it needs to go to a machine shop and milled flat. You made.me anxious by just replacing the gasket. Glad to see it worked:)
Love this kid, he gives new meaning to, "RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG".
I really appreciate the drone footage. Always looks great.
Every time I watch your vids I learn something new. Although when they were pouring concrete for the bridge piers they should have made a t or y support and it would have made holding the pumper hose a lot easier or chain around it and you the front end loader to hold it up off the ground.
thats a fast little booger. i like the style of that boat.i bet there are many of that era that could be had for cheap. i see them every where and i live in kansas city
Awesome sound on that thing
How did I miss this one? My buddy just bought a boat for 17K and had to rebuild one motor and out drives. Good video.
You give Drone racing a whole new meaning.
Is it me or is Andrew a GOD?!? Your cinematography skills are continuously evolving! Good on you brother!
Jacob M. Altland very sinful of you to say that. The first commandment is I am the Lord Thu God thou shalt have no other Gods before Me.
Lol Ryan its 2018
Nah he's a great mechanic, but he is not a God
Enjoy watching your videos thanks🙂
Nice work. Boats are a lot of fun. Anti seize is your friend when it comes to boats. I use it on everything including the plugs. Of course, I was almost strictly salt water.
Very good job as always
Great video and good job on the repair!
On top of everything else. You have those dogs. There precious
Love your dogs i have a boat loving black lab myself and great video
Awesome at last you have bit of time for you self, cheers!
levi enjoying the boat ride
Great vids Andrew keep them coming, me n my dad luv them!!
Looks so fun.. happy about motto too. Fun stuff.. fix it and bingo.. yay! Andrew.. keep going bro
Really enjoyed this video I like the repair videos on watercraft and off atvs
Great camera work, especially whilst steering well done,again.!
Living it up. Good job.
Top video Andrew... Keep em coming!
Drones sure revolutionized videos !
I work on jetskis a lot. On fiber gaskets contacting water you can use copper pro.. stuff is amazing and helps seal both surfaces.
nice project and family time
Nice boat....You can fix anything!....Your a smart guy, that’s why I subscribed....
That boat is pretty fast as old as it is, great job.👍👍
HIII Andrew, very nice boat and super motor !! I have Yamaha 75 hp ENDURO not bad !!! Fun having some real pushing power !!! have a good week end !
Really cool drone footage at the end!
Hey Andrew whenever you do most gaskets (not head gaskets) use hi tac. That stuff works great and is easier to clean up in the future over rtv. Plus it has a little brush to apply it with.
GREAT SHOW OF BOAT FIXING AND FUN WITH MUTTS. YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING ANDY.! COOL DUDE...
A great fix and loved the video. You bring back lots of memories to me when I was your age . Boating, fishing, Water skiing. Yup did it all.
Good fix....dogs had fun too......nice.
Andrew you really can fix anything :)
This made my day...thanks very much👍
Retrievers and water. One of the happiest sights in the world. I have 3 Goldens and even the 15 year old boy who has trouble walking still swims like a pup. Heartwarming stuff! Thanks for sharing their joy with us Andrew!
That boat is SWEET!
I've been looking for a boat like that. You have an awesome boat!! Nice color choice too.
They are around. Can usually get them super cheap if there is no motor or it doesn't run. I know where there is an old one like that in the woods, I guess I should try to get it.
I love those old boats!
good video. I will try to change the water jacket gasket of my Mercury 50 HP (1979).
