I like the versatility you have in your mechanical skills. A master mechanic. The videos are entertaining to watch. You just don't work on cars but all kinds of vehicles. I been watching for almost 2 years. And not disappointed at all.
He's the kinda guy you really want on your side during the zombie apocalypse, that's for sure XD
If it has some sort of motor he can fix it :)
If MIT had a Shop Class called Reverse Obsolesence 101: Good Schematics,+ Honest Diagnostics + The great Work ethic & curiosity to see problems to solutions. AKA Repair almost anything.
Chris would be guy to teach it.
I would really like to see channel do custom EV conversions, get that home & barn shop land on something affordable but spacious, get a water table and/or 3d printer for custom parts for made in USA.
That said, when you gonna do a barge or car ferry boat? A Sailboat that takes show international?
I wonder what barn/lighthouse finds you might find off Greenland, Canada, or especially Cuba. Because of the former embargo Cubans took to maintenance and restoration of mechanical constructs to an art form. They got Taxis from the 40s and 50s still running a 12hr work day. Would be funny to see NNKH team seeing cars or even engines of classic infrastrucure, in awe, of their still running and some even in pristine condition.
A "how the #%$@ is this thing still going" regular piece where commentors can suggest sites.
NNKH goes and checks it out, stays politely glib, viewers can posit theories in comments and then youtube famous engineers and scientists do cameos and offer most probable explanations.
I have no idea who could afford to pay for all that. But I would watch it.
I get it if yall stay local 😊like a garage band though. Too many soups, cooks, chiefs, and all that.
Great videos. (:
Google and then explain, thumbs down
Next up, lets see if we can get this old helicopter going.
Frank's place looked like it would be perfect for you and Jen and lots of room for the critters.
I thought the exact same thing! That place would be perfect!
I just commented that and then seen your comment!
And. Why not call the boat " Frank "..?
Man Frank is the kinda guy I would love to sit down with and just get to know, lot of knowledge to be handed down. Such a great place to be fixed up, and grow a family/buisness in.
Im glad that Frank is at least upright and mobile. He could easily have ended up in a wheelchair for life.
Because of injury and just life I don't get out very much. Watching your videos is like hanging out with a buddy. I really appreciate getting to see some of the daily life along with the restorations. Plus I always seem to pick up something from your know-how. 🙂 I hope you and Jen get to keep doing this for as long as you want. Thanks for sharing!
Get well soon buddy. I agree with everything you said!
I’m with you on that. 3 broken disks keeps me from doing all the things I used to. This may be as close as I get to a tough project. It’s emotional to think about it too long. Blessings to everyone out there.
@@tomemody6685 Yeah.. that's me brother. Keep the faith.
I know what you mean. I use to have z small autobody n paint shop and did a lot of RV n boat fiberglass repair I lost most my vision so havent been able to work on anything no more. I do like watching theses guys get stuff going. Bitter / Sweet
Always!
Man I remember watching at 75K subscribers. Loved the videos then and love them now, especially the boat/jetski/water bike/random nautical activity videos. Can’t wait to see this one get worked on and it’ll be cool to see Jen work on it too with her new channel. Was really happy to see a boat video this morning!
As someone who recently bought a boat, I love these videos. That way, I can learn how to fix my boat myself!
I mean if you dig into the steering on this boat in the next video I would like that lol.
I hope you don't have kids. You know what the 2 best days of boat ownership are?
I just found this channel a week ago and I can't stop watching it. It's quickly becoming my new favorite channel. Great content man. Keep it up!
Frank's house seems like it would be a cool future home for all the present and future NNKH projects! It would be cool if you guys bought it!
My favorite part of this video, was you riding the Horse! It's weird, but I felt like I was right there with you...remembering old times and loving it! All of your vids are great, educational and feel good. Thanks, Follow your Excitement 😊
Well the boat motor actually runs!! I thought that it might be full of water , locked up and cracked! Looking forward to part 2! Thanks Chris and Jen 👍
This guy is a A-1 problem solver. Hats off
Damn, Chris, you can fix boats, trucks, cars, heavy equipment, household plumbing and wiring, and goodness knows what else. You are a true Renaissance Man. A lot of guys had those skills back in the '50's and 60's when I was growing up, but sadly it's almost a lost art today. Absolutely love your channel, so please keep it up. Oh, and Jen ain't shabby when it comes to talent either! ;-)
Another great video! I look forward to every one of them. Condolences to Frank on the freak injury.
Look forward to part 2! Will be interesting to see what Jen does with the interior as well. Looks like some new plywood might be needed on those seats, and a new hatch. Boat needs some love, and it should be a good looking runner!
Love seeing the whole crew, Jen, Gus and Turbo! Great video!!. Never want these videos to end. Thanks for the great work! .
Awesome job cleaning up the boat and getting it running...always amazed at your automotive skills at diagnosing and repairs. Just another fun filled day of content. Appreciate you sharing your days with us.😊🛠️🇺🇸🔧🛻🛥️
At this point Chris I'm convinced that you can make anything run 29:59 ❤
& "it's a good thing" , we've lost so many gems to the junkyard simply for lack of maintenance and no nonsense know how.
I'm just on the other side of the Delaware River & my high school metal shop had a forge, we learned welding and the whole shebang("that's what she said").
I still remember my woodshop teacher saying;
, "you know, we're not tryin' to prove wood floats". , when he saw me using too much glue.
That's the kind of learning needed, not commie rat basket case neuter rooting.
"What is these Reds I keep hearing about?"

I Know RIGHT? This guys amazing at mechanics
I`m sure he can fix the Titanic with enough time..
I was just thinking "we hadn't heard from Chris and Jen in awhile".....and BOOM, here you are.
Thanks for the vid.
I am in awe of your abilities, approach and attitude. Love the way you stuck the gearbox in the grass!
You, Jen and Gus make a great team. 🙂
Never want these videos to end. Thanks for the great work! 💯
Trouble free boat... lol. I love your optimism my friend, it's what keeps me coming back.
Poor Turbo wants adventure too.
I want more,I want more..😂 now I gotta wait my brain feels better now thank you for taking the time to share your adventures with us , buying a hat...
Beautiful looking boat….i can imagine how great it will look when she s cleaned up and detailed ….well done
That boat is going to be really nice when you're done with it! I'm so glad the block wasn't cracked and it ran!
Another great video,love all the fixer up stuff,being a mechanic myself love to see things brought back to life,thanks again
I cannot wait to see more of this. I have a 19ft open bow and information on how to go through it and make sure everything is good isn't easy to find. I look forward to the next video on this. Thank you!
When you replace that belt, put a spare around that motor mount assembly. Wire tie it out of the way. Can save the day on the water.
Another great one. “Oil is only about 5” too high.” Ha!!! She’s going to be tons of fun out on the river.
Having previously lived in the area I really enjoy the shots of 295, Trenton, and NJ.
I could watch this for hours. In fact I have 😂. Always great content. Love the boat and random toy fixes. The knowledge you have have is incredible! Don’t change a thing!
You were nice to Frank,helping him out to sell his stuff.
You have a huge heart Chris & you are an Ace Mechanic.
I hope life treats you well into the future.
Yourself,Jen,Turbo & Gus make an awesome Quartet.
I'd buy your merch but i live in London UK,so postage would mean a remortgage of my house.
Thanks for all of your Infotainment videos.
I can imagine Jen pulling funny faces when she starts remodelling that tiny boat cabin .
Yeah, more Jen!
The generalized knowledge you have for machines is unreal
Go build a few projects or do something productive and you will learn too
That was a wild tour of Frank’s place. Hidden bath fixtures priceless.
I love this channel. this is a guy you can learn stuff from! love it! Greetings from Musselkanaal The Netherlands (off all places)
Love watching your video's. Especially with the little Gus man.
Thank you for helping him out Chris! You're an awesome guy! Keep up the great work and God bless!
YES!!! Beer in hand, having a chill and watching as usual
Can't think of a better lazy Sat than to watch a "Will it run" video, hope guss is in it hahaha Love that dog
Always enjoy seeing a new video has been uploaded
Love your methodical approach and the ability to not get rattled when you hit the show-stoppers. Adapt, improvise, overcome; and get the target result. The way you verbalize your thought process makes it really watchable. Kudos.
Can't wait for part 3.also it's a throwout bearing on your wrecker that your hearing
Hey Chris... I'm not a huge boat knowledge kinda guy but my first thought was Bayliner..lol.. I do like the cuddy cabins,, for obvious reasons.. nice little cruisers with the family. Then @1:47 mark, I saw the color scheme (red, blue and black) and I instantly thought of the Wellcraft colors.. never heard of Raven.. but like I said, I'm no pro.. lol.. but back to the video.. CHEERS!!
Oh man, i love this time a year. You are really the only channel that does this type of content. Love it.
1:56 Poor Frank, I feel bad for him having his back broken when attempting to restore the boat all because of that flooring/seat mount being broken.
Can't wait to see her out on the water... and especially after Jen does her thing on the interior, and she gets all cleaned up and put back together. Man I love a good boat! I'd say this ole' girl is really under-powered... but I like a little HP with my boats, and I know Chris & Jen don't care. Like he said.. this one isn't about straight out speed. It's a cruiser, with a nice little cuddie on it. I suppose the 4 cylinder will do, and they can have some serious river fun with it! Can't wait to see it on the river this summer!
Shame Franks place is so far from you. Perhaps would be a nice shop for you??? Really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to part 2 and then Jen's part. Best wishes, Deb
best part of the week is watching one of your videos
Chris and Jen, I have to say it is a total pleasure watching 2 people who love life, and each other. I enjoy learning from you and see the life I could have had without the hiccups I had decades ago. I rebuild a bayliner much like your trashliner, it had a Volvo Penta engine and outdrive with a rotted out interior, it was a fun project and expanded my marine knowledge, became a marine mechanic, well was certified but never went down that road. Your jeep reminds me of my favorite car I had, a 1965 Buick skylark, 4 door, rusted out floors, and trunk, and a weak suspension, I was working for an electrician at the time and bottomed out the car so many times I put a hole in the gas tank, repaired and kept another year, fast, light and fun to drive. Anyhow, rebuilt a few Honda motorcycles. Watching you guys brings back memories. Keep smiling and keep going, Jen you have a beautiful voice and a personality any good man would love to have by his side. Sorry for the long email. Gus, Leo and Turbo along with the chicks are the hoot. Jim
Always enjoy when you bring these heaps back to life. I found your channel when you were rebuilding the Trashliner.
Dude your boat videos are epic! Makes me want to get an old boat ⛵🚢
River Ripper99
Amazing video Chris love watching the longer ones ! Watching all the way from Plymouth England !
Good lord, this guy is handy. Makes it all look so easy, super chill demeanor.
That was a cool project. I enjoy watching the way you go thru each step to get things back working 👌
Chris,
Just sat down to watch this baby, and I really can't wait! Your boat videos never ever disappoint me!!! From the trash liner to the bass dumpster, now this gem!!! Ohhhh boy I love it very much!!! Frank is a good guy! Sucks he busted his ass falling off that boat but it just shows you, it's extremely easy to hurt yourself and have things never be the same. Time to watch this video!!! 👍👍😎
Very cool video Chris!! I've never owned a boat because I've always heard a friends boat is the best boat...haha but mainly because I've heard they are a pain to work on but you make it look so easy!! Thank you again for taking the time to explain and go into detail on things. Looking forward to seeing the progress! Darren in TX
Glad you are doing this. My father started Raven Boatworks in the late 80s.
Great video, the old boat rescues are fun. I've always liked messing around with older boats. They're easier to find than older cars. Don't get me wrong, the old car rescues are great as well. Thanks.
Great video as usual! A pump-up yard sprayer works great for the gear oil. That vent hose on the fuel pump is for safety- it directs the raw fuel into the carb in the event of a diaphragm failure.
Hello Chris, Jen and Gusman from Sydney Australia.
Very nice fiberglass boat, it's fantastic watching you diagnose, test and change parts. I assume you Google search the engine specs and exploded diagrams for ordering parts?
Thanks for the work in making this channel.
🌏🇭🇲
That’s Hilarious watching you on the “Springy Horse! Chris ! Always Game!
Amazing how you resolve issues...Learning from you all the time. Thank you
Thanks for bringing us along. I thought for sure that motor was seized and with a cracked block when I saw the streaks and the water come out of the block. Looking forward to seeing this on the river. Also, when you were heading back with the tow truck I thought you were going to bring home franks old chevy pickup...
It doesn't matter what you are working on, you make it interesting.
Also just wanted to add, great watch! Very satisfying watching these old engines come back to life. And u enjoy it, fixing up these old girls. Very very cool to see
That's gonna be some nice boat Chris, and Franks property looks awesome! Thanks for showing us around.
It never ceases to amaze me all the spare parts you have. I wish so badly I had half of it
I have reported a telegram scam on my comment. Their comment disappeared directly after. Do not fall for these scams people
Lookin forward to see this series and what you guys do to it 😊
Love your video reminds me when I had same engine in my boat in the 90's doing all that work on it now I'm 79 brings back so many memories thanks for great video and stay safe my friend
Chris, this was the first video of yours i watched. You would be an excellent teacher. I know this will not be the last of your videos i will be watching. Excellent work. Thanks...i learned a few things.
Another awesome video! Watching from the UK!
Hells yes, another NNKH will it run! My day is now complete.
Taken me back to when I picked up a old 1977 century Arabian with a 23o-something MerCruiser inbord stern drive,fixed/cleaned it up and enjoyed it for yrs on lake Michigan &the chain of lakes ( Northern Illinois). Good times, cheers to u!
LOL, I have the exact same of Snap-on pliers. Approximately 30 years old and work better than anything you could buy today....Really like your channel so far. Have watched your CAT997 video and now this one...
I knew when you stuck the lower unit in the soft ground to change impeller that it was NOT your first time!!! That was always my go to move when I did mobile repair!
Классная лодка! Когда лодка будет готова, можно на озеро, на рыбалку! Классное видео! Круто Круто!!!
Chris, I have an '89 chris craft cavalier with the EXACT same drive combo / 3.0 merc and alpha one drive. It's an amazing setup for cruising around the lake, bulletproof, and great on gas. Bought my boat sitting for 4 years and basically gave it the same work you did- mine needed a new ignition setup, anti siphon valve, fuel pump, carb, water pump impeller, starter, and other small odds and ends. These motors are a dream to work on and the block originated from a 60s GM design.
If you ever struggle getting the lower unit installed, inspect the condition of the copper water pickup tube and housing. They can become swollen or melted from previous overheating and not let the lower unit seal back together. Can be an absolute nightmare, took me like a week to figure out.
You accomplished the same amount of work I did in about 10x faster... LOL. It was my first time working with points so great learning curve. Enjoy that boat!
Great video as always much respect for the skills you have
Cases of PB blaster, I'm jealous.
you are good appreciate watching you working on that boat. you know your stuff
❤❤❤🐈❤️❤️❤️ beautiful kitty that looks just like my handsome boy Wesley ❤❤❤
I like all your videos, but I especially enjoy the boat content. Looking forward to some videos of this one on the water this summer.
Agree!
I have 83 wellcraft . Same motor and outdrive. Needs an upper part of the out drive. (Locked up). So your video was very helpful,learned a lot. Boat is 4 sale.
Alpha MR, probably 1.81:1 gear ratio... dime a dozen. I have a bunch.
The way you work on it, shows you know all about it. Good luck Buddy, wish you the best on your project!
Awesome video Chris thank you for such great content! Looking forward to the boat on the water and the interior and what Jennifer comes up with for it.
I used to put a rubber plug in the exhaust pipe on my old motocross bike when I wasn't riding it or when washing it. I always referred to that rubber plug as a "butt plug". Lol
Some (not all) people will always find something to be offended by. As for everyone else, we understand and love the humor from you and Jenn! It's one of many reasons why I'm subscribed!
Ps. I can relate to people getting offended by words, but this "cripple" just finds it funny. 🤷♂️🤣🏁🏍👨🦽🤷♂️
Love seeing the whole crew, Jen, Gus and Turbo! Great video!!
I've never heard anyone describe an outdrive as "stunning" 😂😂😂😂😂
That was the best part!!
I’d think you’d like Franks place! Lots of room for your day job and for Gus to roam. And for Jen too!!
Just discovered your channel. I subscribed this morning and then boom - new video dropped. Love the boat content. Have a beer on me!
Thanks so much Brady!
This guy is very good!
Wow, can't to see you Jenn and Gus cruising the local lakes! Thanks for taking us along.
Im hooked on watching Chris and Jen rebuild
I’m literally watching an old video while I get alerted on a new video haha. We need more exploration videos. I binge watched for hours yesterday. Cool videos for sure. I do like the car stuff better but the explorer videos are super cool.
I actually found Chris’s channel a few years while back looking for some power plant urbex videos.
Public service announcement: People, please stop using those awful Frame oil filters.
I think you scored with this boat, it's got great potential.
Your knowledge and can do attitude is key.
no milky oil good job...Feels great when they start. Thanks for all the vids.
gotta say im loving your content after finding your channel a week ago allmost done binge watchin most of your content realy love the longer vids tbh all your videos love guss and jennifer, i think you just found your new aboded in franks place your allways saying you need a bigger place ... keep the great content coming chris
I think you should buy it, and move out to the country
Absolutely love your boat series. Thanks for sharing
The best videos by far. I like the way you treat your woman and your dog. I hope Jen comes out with an album....I’d buy!!!!
Way better than vice grip garage
No way
Hold your tongulator there brother
