Poor Man's Triple Motor 12 Foot Center Console Bass Boat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2019
- I call this boat the Intruder12X3. It's crazy. It's stupid. It's ridiculous. It's just plain fun. This boat is not meant to be practical. Or super fast. Although it jumps on plain very quickly! For me, it is a proof of concept. That I could put three motors on the back of a small boat. I would've put four 2.6 outboards on it, but those little motors don't have reverse. And part of the allure of this build is how I can make this boat spin on a dime by putting one outside motor in forward and the other side motor in reverse. It acts just like my 31ft Chris Craft :^D
I laughed a lot while outfitting this boat. Groaned a lot during the lengthy filming and editing of this video. Spent a ton of money pursuing this asinine en devour. Yet, I would do it again for the laughs! I hope you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed making it all happen.
Something tells me this won't be the last time I do something stupid like this. Thanks for the views and for encouraging me to live life to the fullest!

Many thanks also to Pelican for all they have done for me over the years.
And to King Starboard for both making a great product and for believing in me.
And to Todd for providing me with tons of Starboard scraps and screws and tools and for putting up with my hijinks.
Not least, thanks to you to my Patrons, both to my kayak rental business and to those that contribute via Patreon. You really help me live this dream everyday. - Спорт
He said it himself, its not about practicality. Its about following his heart. Excellent execution on this. Man has a gift for using accessible tools and materials to turn ideas into a functioning reality. Round of applause.
I'm gonna be 74yo this Sept and I have lived my entire life on my own parallel path. Kudos to you, sir!! Enjoy your ride!!!

I have great respect for how this guy can home engineer all the intricate items to make this moderately complex project come to life!!!
Even if two engines fail he still has a third to keep going.
I don’t know how anyone can downvote this guys hustle, intelligence, and drive if anything at all. The effort this took. Much love man.
I was thinking "Evil Genius", or "Nutty Professor", but I like it too!
Down voted cause he used wood. I would have used aluminum.
Because there are people out there that just can't appreciate the simple things...that is the world we live in. 👎 I have caught a few of his videos now and each time I do...he makes me want to do the same damn thing. lol
@@NorthCountryBoyz no its the fact that the video itsself is a waste of time. I fst forwarded to the part where he admits and finally realized a 15hp would have saved a lot of time and money with better results.
t money let me head over to your channel and see how you do shit. Oh wait, I see you don’t do anything.
I was completely mesmerized by this man's ingenuity and dedication. I managed a high tech electro-mechanical laboratory for decades, and I wished I had 10 of him , this man is a "doer" , a self starter, and a genius.
The amount of work that went into this is impressive. I was not expecting it to be so well made to be honest.
This is hardly a "poor man's" version. You've got a fortune in time, starboard and other stuff invested. Overall I'm impressed with the workmanship and the ideas you used.
My comment exactly. Nothing poor about this build....
Yeah
Well yeah when you compare it to a canoe. But compared to a regular triple engine center consul it’s pretty cheap.
Poor people have unlimited free time, so they have all the time to make things like this.
"Who else actually watched the whole thing?"
I DID!!
Nice work pal, you did one heck of a job!!
i did!
Me
Me too.
Me three
i did..fun stuff i liked it.
This has to be one of my favorite builds on UA-cam, super entertaining and educational. Great video man!
Man I watched this whole build! I could not take my eyes away from it, all the cool linkages and throttle system alone was fantastic! A true custom build! This video is great and I enjoyed the process I gotta see another one!
"Directions?"
"I don't need directions!"
😃😂😅😉
UA-cam needs a "love" button, not just a "thumbs up."
Ephraim Caangay ......it also needs a “Dumbass Idea” button too. Maybe a “Got Too Much Time and Money To Waste” button might be handy. How about a “I’m Gonna Charge The Hell Out Of My Customers So I Can Waste Time and Their Money” button that would be nice.
@@robertlangley258 why the fuck did you feel the need to watch something for 48 minutes just to write a shitty comment just dont get it
Robert Langley actually a hate button to be specific
@@robertlangley258 heres the dumbass
Big respect on how clean and factory issued it appears. The ×3 logos really sold the look and were very cool.
Sweet thanks for sharing. It's soooo satisfying when you finally get to see your projects come to reality. Great work
I really like that you use time-lapse instead of cutting between operations. That alone made me appreciate your hard work so much more!
This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen built in a while
Honestly the best part of these insane builds is that no one is ever going to reproduce them but the innovation that comes from them helps us craft ideas for our own kayaks and small craft ... I mean the tackle box on the side ehhh I usually take more tackle than my damn body weight but in terms of building safe structurally sound this is the man to watch thanks again for a great video.... and to the no music ... after building a baby gas monster maybe a little smoke on the water by deep purple
I love how this man does not wear shoes at all while working. Even while around sharp objects he just doesn’t care.
I wasn’t worried about the sharp stuff, but rather getting sawdust between his toes-been there. 😂🤣
Awesome build.
I'm a STEM Coordinator at a school and this is a perfect example of "why build it?" "Because I want to"
Kudos- never lose that spirit.
My stem is about plants and globally warming I would rather have that type of stem
Sooo STEM is pretending to be about Engineering but it's really about Social Justice and hating straight white men. In fact STEM diversity has lowered academic standards. Did I get that right?
I generally only fully watch when I plan on taking on a similar project. I have absolutely no desire to do anything like this, but could not stop watching. Great job. Great detail. I learned a lot.
This is why I watch YT.
"I had plans to stiffen it up". That's what she said :)
Ok
I swear
I’m normally clicking threw videos like this
Just found this channel, absolutely love it. Deep respect for the adaptability and creativity involved in hopping up lesser things to become greater. Good on you, will be watching.
Could not stop watching! Love the creativity and learned alot about modifying boats. Got some great ideas. Wont be able to accomplish anything like that but just wow!
Well YES, this was one of UA-cam's better recommendations. Started by thinking "so what's this all about" and ended with me watching the whole video.
You're right to do what you did, I've never seen anything like that boat before.
Cheers.
But what are the advantages to having three Over having just one stronger motor? I'm missing the point. Did he hust have some extra engins laying around?
@@TheNo1redrooster probably no advantage! and no, he bought extra engines just to do this.
Marty just posted a 48minute video... Let me grab the popcorn and throw this up on the big screen!
If Marty had been part of the crew on the Flight of the Phoenix they would have been back in the air in under an hour!
@@piths1942 kudos to you piths1942......best comment award goes to you.
Weekend Pirate YESSIR
Fuck Ya!
You are not the sharpest knife in the draw, are you?
This was fun!
High value entertainment and learning--10/10...EZ to listen to...Cool to give your friend Mark some YT time and let him share a lesson! Long and good health to you and yours!
Artistry taken to the next level! I was mesmerized by the attention to detail! Well done!
I’m a simple man I see mad scientist Marty post a 48 minute video I watch
LOL
I like this guy hes not trying to be famous on youtube hes just trying to entertain people
Is it just me or is it super satisfying when he drills and installs stuff in time lapse
Absolutely love the idea of multiple low HP motors on a small boat. Terrific on so many levels - reliability, power, etc. That specific hull might not be the best choice but best or not, it's done and fun. Another example of the difference between making and engineering... that bow splash, yo... but I love the sound of three 5s purring 👍👍👍
Wouldn’t call it a “poor mans boat”, but this is the coolest thing I have ever seen anyone do to a small boat! New sub now
Agreed but definitely affordable and fun. Will attract alot of men lmao
I second that kevin very cool
Lol.. affordable.. all boats are affordable when bought used.. the problems come in the name.. BOAT... brake out another thousand... everything boating related is marked up 3 times the price stuff should be... but the initial boat, unless buying a new one, wont break the bank by any means.. ive got 3 grand total in my fiberglass flat top 22’ bass boat with a 100hp on it and got all the bells n whistles on it but everytime i wanna bring it out no matter what it costs me at least 100$ a day... i guess if you had a little jon boat and makeshift troller on it than woukdnt cost ya anything to take it out.. or cost much... taxes can be a whale also...
And this is exactly how some of the greatest inventions that we have today came about, just some guy like Marty in his garage using his Heart, his knowledge, his tools, money and the guts to go ahead and do it resulting in him building his dream, Nice work Marty. Never give up on anything that you dream of and really feel that you can do it, Much respect for what you even try to attempt in the future, keep up the good work, one day one of your ideas is going to make you very wealthy. Sure there are a lot of other triple engine boats out there but this one was your own build on a much smaller scale than the other big expensive boats out there and a lot of us regular guys who works 40 hrs a week and are not very wealthy we could afford something nice like this. Like you said, It should be called the poor man's triple engine dream, It's different and probably could be very affordable if you ever decided to really get into these small triple engine smaller boats. P.S. Electric star would be very nice or it could be an option? The end result was just fantastic, I loved it. You should really think about producing more of these boats??
It’s considered a poor mans boat because it’s a bass boat. And I don’t know about you but I own a 26ft skeeter with a mercury 300 I bought it used but the MSRP was 93k so yeah this is a poor mans bass boat. And we’re not even going to talk about my offshore Baja race boat way way way more then the bass boat and it was bought new.
The best part of this is that their is no music
there*
Im at 47:07 and i hear some
defo music
so true!
Still an amazing ass video you cant lie...
What a fantastic remake of your boat. Great plan,ingenuity, workmanship, detail, and final product. Thanks for shareing.
Job well done! The majority of people could not pull off a build like this, so thanks for sharing the talent!
This is the quality custom builds we wish we could all find on marketplace
45:38 “I understand that this is not practical...” To me that’s reason enough to do it. Thanks for the awesome build video.
Lots of great things have happened after words like that have been spoken.
Amazing project dude, I always get impressed with your creations and like always full of details and how to's!!!
You did a great job , so inspiring , I wish you all the luck with your projects.
Dude I have NO IDEA how I even ended up here but this is waaaaay too cool.. I was so excited when the boat hit the water at a whopping 30 mph.. or so it seemed.. I’m now a full time fan..
i think i ended up her by watchin Beam.NG drive since someone did a truck to get 4450 HP V16 enegine
"Its always fun adding your own little personal touches to a boat." Proceeds to just completely overhaul the boat from top to bottom lol. Looks great man.
I grew up in Miami putting me close to home built boats and buggies of dozens of different shapes and sizes. I must say
watching your thought process and then building it,putting it in the water and operating successfully was brilliant. You're truly awesome 👌. Thanks for the time and trouble you went to for your viewers. You're right about the 115 HP. I'd love to see that. #1 Airboat Man
I think he means one 15hp as opposed to three 5hp. Not a 115 hp...
One of the funnest videos I’ve watched in a long time. Besides the whole build creativity and innovations, I love the filming techniques, especially the sense of humor. Such A breath of fresh air here on UA-cam.
Great Carl Sagan impression 🤣✌👍
your engineering was fantastic...not everyone can do that
Barry Green it really was a hack job
Lowie De wind lmao i bet you could totally do it buddy
Lowie De wind that bamboo fencing made me laugh like!!!
Some people are starving, and some people have 3 outboards on their boat...
driver seat is a bit too far forward, resulting in a bit nose heavy, unless he plans to carry more weight in back.
I listened to my heart one time and she took off with everything I owned.
yeah 3 kids later here i am lol
That's wasn't your heart you were listening too..
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loser
This video is my first introduction to your channel and having worked in the boating industry 40 years I thoroughly enjoyed it
Great video of an outstanding project. I learned a lot from watching such a talented builder! Wish you the best on all of your future endeavors.
The sound of the 3 motors is really great. The whole work is well thought out and you pay attention to the details. I like it!
Change out the props for a higher pitch ones, you’ve got 3 motors on the back so the acceleration loss shouldn’t be a concern
I was thinking the same thing. He could easily go up an inch or two in pitch.
Put that lost torque to use on high end.
I was going to post the same thing, go to higher pitch props!
No the concern is engine RPM the prop is the engine governor....
killing old growth since 1977 not too sure what you mean
I'm usually not the one giving comments on YT but this time.. holy. You motivate me to rethink about my outboard conversion since creating a somewhat sturdy bracket seems to be pretty easy (and I "converted" the Volvo 290 Z Drive hole into a older series hole, which is somewhat smaller in size with doubling up the transom plate thickness). There are some to buy already but here in Europe it's not that common as it is in the USA. Huge respect for your work and appreciate your time to make such an awesome video!
By far one of the most badass builds I’ve seen you do
I gotta admit....this guy has alot more talent than I thought!!
I like this person, he show that you dont need everything so big, he shows a WEARY god skill. I like him.
it looks like from a factory.
What the hell is a weary god skill?
Your ingenuity and craftsmanship is nothing short of amazing! Bravo! With respect and admiration!
Just outstanding craftsmanship! Lots of fun to watch! Great job!
I just wanted to say that the truck driver backed in beautifully!
Jon R. Were you the truck driver?
I also got caught up admiring that back up job
He missed the first attempt. Had to do a pull up.
Took him five attempts...
@@Dukemoney63 its a semi truck
Having lived in South Louisiana for 8 years, I knew you had to be a Cajun when I saw the thumbnail. Much respect for your fabrication skills and persistence. Starboard rocks!
Perfect illustration of a man having a lot of fun! I love this stuff!
I'm following you now, love watching you build crazy stuff and learning from it.
DAMN!!!! i was so into the video i failed to realize that it was 48 minutes! GREAT JOB BRO!
Same here!
Me too.... Tempus Fugit..
I watched it all and was fascinated by the clever adaptations of materials and workmanship. Takes a certain mind to do this.. great job
Great job, I love the fact you make sure things are safe, not many do that
WOW! all the little work that went into this project that we didn't see! Amazing job with a very positive message at the end! Keep following your heart buddy
Wow...I’m more impressed with you actually taking it on and sticking with it then anything else. Good work man!
I gotta tell you, this was a very cool video to watch. It's nice to see someone with the engineering skills, the savvy and the chops to make an idea turn into reality. The video was very entertaining to watch and I can see how you have 173K followers to this channel. The quality of the video along with the production of it is high quality, fun and very informative in the thought process of the project from the very beginning. It draws you in and wants to make you watch the video to see how the project all comes to fruition. For someone that just stumbled onto your channel for the first time, I wanted you to be aware of what I found so likeable about it. Well done in how you pulled this off. Very well done indeed. I really enjoyed watching this.
Its a rare occasion where i never skip some parts of a video. especially if they are long. Good job!
I was glued to this video. Amazing DIY ingenuity!
So cool My Father and I do shit like this when I was a kid. I miss that.
Dick Tejano Dad you finally found me 🤩 lol I did it with a jet boat 4 horsepower four stroke long shaft
Since I was a kid my friends called me MacGyver but I ain't got nothing on you that was truly a MacGyver build awesome job
Love the sounds and the lack of music so much better wit no music and hearing what you are doing and planning. Thanks for a great video, way cool boat!
It is so cool seeing a person With hands-on making items so cool
This is sooo cool to watch, love the fast motion to conserve time while showing the whole show. Great little invention conversion and Talent with a budget in mind.
Imagine just being able to buy a truck load of kayaks/boats, definitely something i didnt think i would be seeing this soon on your channel. Great work
Dude - I enjoyed the build, but, major props for the ending commentary at 45:51. Wow, that was truly from the heart and inspiring - Thank you!
What a great little project! Well done, man!
Joking around...
Wouldn't it be hilarious if we put 3 5hp Coleman's on a Pelican Jon boat!
Marty...
Hold my beer!
Lol...
🤣
*It was all fun and games until Pulambe mentioned the wrecked Tesla in his neighbor's backyard.*
Now that is a fantastic idea. And will be fun just to see the heads turn at the docks and in mini bass tournaments!
Because I can. That's why.
Please do! You are the best 😁
zoffinger this was hilarious dude i love this lol
That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen this week.
I'm glad you did.
I clicked on the video then realized, Holy Crap, this 48 minutes long! Marty, It wasn't long enough to cover what you accomplished with this build. Congrats!
Hey Marty, if you rent me that one, I'll buy a ticket right now! Fire up the bbq bro!
Brilliant build. Screw practicality, its super cool, looks amazing, and you went out of your comfort zone just to build what you envisioned. Very inspiring and extremely clever project. Great video, and done with standard shop tools.... love it.
This was suggested again and I watched it again. Just as fun to watch the second time!
I have never watched a video that was even half as long as this one and I watched the entire thing from start to finish and didnt even realize how long it was until it was over.
Your DYI skills are on point. Don't apologize for anything. I was really impressed with some of the ideas that you had to come up with to make things work and you actually helped me solve one of the problems that I have on a project. Thank you for sharing. You might well be the first channel that I have ever subscribed too.
That boat has the hydrodynamics of a brick. Nice job though.
Truth
What's why it's so stable
It's a fishing boat, not an ocean racer. A man with my motto "because I can"
I will say too which I didn't in my last comment. This is amazing that you did all of this by yourself and engineered that cable throttle to go to the front with the handles that is awesome. You put so much time into this and I'm so glad for you that you got the appropriate amountbof views for this video that was so painstakingly pit together. I would live to do this to my little bass buggy I have that's plastic and made the exact same way that boat is. It's smaller so I would only do probably 1 10hp motor but it would be awesome to have that thing going stupid speeds but still be stable and float so well like I know this thing does. I haven't seen til the end but I can't wait to see this thing going on the water!
you are an inspiration. It is high time I got back to my wooden boat build that has been years in the making and was going to be a sailing vessel but now an electric duel minn kota. craft as My wife and I just bought a cottage on the Erie canal in upstate NY. Boat speed is 10 miles per hour max but I will use all of it for the build. Thanks and the plastic bits look fantastic.
First, this is probably one of the few YT DIY videos I actually watched all the way through.
Second...man, that is a fantastically clever and unique build.
Excellent work.
I learned a skill or two along the way and your video is also well done.
I don't live far away, maybe I will see you on the water someday.
Bravo! ✌️
Sometimes life is about risking everything, for a dream no one can see, but you.
Huh?
Brilliant and very specific on modifying the intruder boat ⛵ Keep it up bro, cheers Mike
I love the way the boat turned out
If you must ask why, you will never understand. When the vision hits, there is no why. Just must.
Toby, that's the most polite way I've heard someone say "when the wild hair tickles...."
Done professionally without shoes, my kind of guy
Dean Mackenzie bell, dmb idk about professional
And no eye protection & ear plugs..my kind of guy.
IKR I was thinking the same thing
Safety 3rd!
Great project I always appreciate your attention to detail keep it up!
Great eye for detail,especially finishing touchs,nice job
I can honestly say that I never thought I’d make it through the entire video. What an incredibly ridiculous build, I loved it. Amazing problem solving skills and it didn’t sink!
Poor mans? This guy seems rich with ingenuity and creativity to me!
My wife and friends don’t understand why leave well enough alone, always tinkering and modifying. It’s just something in my heart as well. For the joy fit. Practical or not. Thanks for this build. I may have to do one inspired from yours.
I don't skip any of the details, I watched your entire video without blinking, very inspiring. but all this, backed up with engineer ideas and also complete equipment. and work ethic. even if you say it's crazy, but i say it's amazing, the idea of changing something and executing it is the real act of how we live life. may God bless your business and all your hard work which is an inspiration to others.
impressive !!
God bless
greetings from Indonesia
All three motors running together sounds mean!
especially to fish!
Someday there will be a Zoffenger museum displaying all the radical transformations. Awesome video!
Absolutely awesome quality workmanship and fun build ...
It’s only stupid if it doesn’t work. Keep doin what makes you happy. Love this build something I don’t think you realized is that doing stuff like this inspires creativity in watchers and you never know what that could lead to. Thank you for making the build and the video.
Damn, this guy is a genius. I can barely make a pine bookcase.
Hahaha 😂😂🤣🤣
From IKEA...
@@philrazzi7782 I can't even spell IKEA
You are like the Bob Vila of BOATS. I enjoyed every minute of that video. Thanks for sharing.
I'm impressed. That's the kind of boat you cut in half and have two boats. Great job
That was awesome to see that type of boat transformed into that good job dude
