- In this video, I install a new battery and try to crank the $600.00 boat. Will it crank?

Hey we are bayliner buddies now. I just bought an 88' 2455 ciera for $3000 but all the leather seats were redone in white leather. It looks good.
Nice, is the engine running, are you planning on any projects on it?
Thanks for the fire extinguisher demo! Valuable 'hands on'........
You bet! Thanks for coming along.
Great to see you having a "Good Time" hahaha. I'm so excited to see the progress that's made and learning from your experiences. Keep it up Capt..
Thanks Haden, I am enjoying it.
Hello I turned to youtube to find out more about the byliner 2450 because i have one and came across your channel. Nice to see someone else is taking on the same challenge as I. I look forward to see how you restore and remodel it. Also can i turn to you if i have question about the boat.
Sure, I can't say I will have all the answers but as times go on, I will know a good deal about this boat. I tend to go all in on projects and learn all there is to learn.
Hope to see you in Saint Augustine again one day.
Yes sir, I will stop by and see you guys when I come up that way again.
Looks good Captain can't wait to see it done
Yes sir.
Trim the drive down when you go to start it Mike, not kind to the driveshaft UJs otherwise 👍
Ok, thanks.
Good start Mike - You'll get there! 👍👍
Yes sir.
A lot of those engines get water inside them from the engine hatch. There's a really good chance it's just hydra locked but it's not worth messing with. I am looking forward to seeing this boat restoration
True Kevin, at this point it is just a core for the new engine.
Great Video Mike! Little by little. Peace from the Keys!
Yes sir, that's what it takes on a project like this.
Good video! I'm excited for the next part
thank you sir.
I know I’m a little late but I hit that starter with a hammer
yea, I didn't really think it would turn over but I had to try.
Mike, those VDO dashboards are usually junk.. You'll prob be wanting to totally replace that with some standard gauges..
Good point Bruce. I do plan to alter it. My plan is to install the new Garmin chart plotter that will replace most of the gauges. I think the only thing I will need to replace and keep is the RPM
I’ll buy it!!
haha, to late, I got it.
At 7;55 Bendex lol! I got your back brotha!
Thanks Tony, it wasn't coming to me at the time lol
@@CaptainMike1965 lol it was funny brotha
It’s gonna be a good time!
yes it is.
for $600 both electrical and fuel system would be a mess so 0% chance of cranking and starting. Also, the motor and the outdrive would probably be trash since each of them is separately worth much more than $600. Then again - you know what you pay for)
Yes for sure. Of course the plan was to replace the motor and outdrive even if they worked.
Bracket and a 300hp outboard.
That would be expensive!
Sounds like the motor is locked up. Try turning back and forth on the crank
Raul, I don't plan to put much time in it as I already was planning to replace it. It would have been interesting if it would have cranked tho.
That isn’t built like your Carver 32, that boat was built with a choppy gun, I would donate to kars for kids and look for a new project. Glad to see your back rolling.
Yes you are correct. However this being a production boat, there are a lot of them out there. Many people will be looking fir DIY videos on all the things I will fix or replace. It also is not a cruiser boat will,that I am turning it into(adding frige, hotwater heater, etc) I think it will be a great project.
@@CaptainMike1965 no doubt you will fix it up, I just hate to see you spend all the time and money to get it seaworthy only to find out it’s not loop worthy. I think back some of the wx you and Marty got into and you never went above Virginia, that 24’ bayliner isn’t going to take that. Safety first my friend.
@Steve p well, sir, stick around and find out. I thrive on challenges. I once purchased a 23' Sunrunner and, along with 2 other fireman buddies, drove it down via water from Niantic Connecticut. I understand you doubting it, but just give me til the end of summer 24. Also, the reason I chose a trailer able boat was so I could start where I left off.
I appreciate you following along!
Not to worry, I will be pulling for you either way. I’ve followed along since I stumbled across the video of you and Marty hitting the rocks in lake ockachobee . You are a resourceful dude for sure. Glad to see your health is improving. Let the dust fly!
Crank on!!!
Yup
Looking forward to the rebuild of this boat. What do you think in the water in about a month? 😂
haha, if all I had to do was work on it lol. My goal is to splash it Jan 1, 2024
Yep, you got me too Mike at the 6:23 mark! Lol
Are you putting a brand new motor in there? Also when are you starting the great loop again?
haha, just playing around. Yes it didn't matter if it would have cranked, I still would replace it. I hope to splash this one Jan 1, 2024 and start back on the loop in summer 24.
@@CaptainMike1965 awesome!! Hoping to get to cross paths with you one day. I’m in Florida too.
Looking forward to meeting you one day and going fishing. Until then I'm appreciating your content.
Doc AJ
Thanks AJ, appreciate you hanging in there.
Probably not...
You right lol
