When you want to do something Jennifer you do it and you did a great job with that boat. You just never know what you are capable of doing until you give it a try. Some people would not have even tackled a job like that. I am 73 and in remission from B-Cell Lymphoma Leukemia. You never give up just keep on fighting.
Love the determination. My late wife lost her battle with cancer in 2021 just before her 39th birthday, but enjoyed her last year on year on a pontoon we bought. The water was therapeutic for her. One thing we promised ourselves when she was diagnosed was to stay positive. We were both able to do that for our daughter. She was head strong like you. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you and I’m so sorry for your loss. That must have been very difficult for you and your family. I’m glad you were able to make the best of the time you had left together with your wife. I’m sure those memories on the boat are invaluable. Best wishes to you and your family.
I know how it goes, I lost my wife of 34 yrs. 3 years ago She battled Leukemia for 3 yrs. and lost her battle within 3mths of being officially cured. She was a fighter also.

Just wanted to thank you for the most enjoyable 98 minutes I have spent on UA-cam. Had a rough day at work and your video was just what I needed, I haven't laughed out loud so much in a long time. Buy Chris and yourself dinner and a few drinks, don't forget to pick some treats up for Gus and Turbo with what is left.
Oh my God! Well, I can’t. Thank you enough! You really have no idea how much that means to me. I’m at work right now otherwise I would write a much more long-winded response but thank you thank you thank you times 1 million! Hope your day got a little better. Have a great night!
The Edgar Allan Poe Boat…for “The Raven” and the fact that ur tryin to “fix it on the cheap”. Great video and Great work Jenn. Keep learnin and tryin new things. It’s Inspirational for the Young Ladies out there!!!👍
The great thing about your videos Jen is you are not afraid to tackle something even when you have no clue what you are doing. Hence the name of the boat. "NO CLUE"
EXCELLENT NAME!!!!!!! Short….. Sweet….. multiple meanings and metaphors!!! You gotta be in marketing? A few minutes ago…. I sent the name: “ TURRBO- GUSTO “ ……… doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like yours👀 Anyway…… so glad I found these two…… they’re like medicine…… lol Have a happy spring Warren! God bless
I’m loving how you freehand the circular saw and not even particularly carefully, yet still get what you want. That’s a skill! I use a guide rail, slowly and carefully, making several cuts to get down to the Final Cut line, yet still sometimes get it wrong and have to go back to the beginning. I used to work in a boat factory, alongside master cabinet makers, one of whom taught me a lot. One of his favourite sayings was, “I can’t understand it. I’ve cut this four times now and still it’s too small!” It could have been coined specifically for me, on one of my bad days, though he actually used to say it before I ever showed any interest in the cosmetic parts of a boat. One of the things he was very forceful about was, you should never screw into the edge of a plywood board. The screws will force the veneers apart and won’t grip properly. He used what he called fillets, which he glued and screwed from the inside, where they couldn’t be seen on the finished article.
Definitely spoken like a seasoned mechanic “eh, we’ll figure it out”; also a thing I found that helps on open area for boats.. I grab a cheapo palm sander with no and paper and just press it on top of the magic erasers and sprits water from a bottle.. just speeds it up a little bit.
Jen I think it looks great for a weekenders perspective it's always a better to spend the day on the water then work. And that's priceless. Don't sell yourself short you did a fantastic job.
Girl, you’re exactly the way I am when I start something it pisses me off when weather or something else inhibits me from finishing it and nine times out of 10. I’ll actually just keep on going about it even if it’s weather just stay protected from the weather or whatever I’m working on stay protected from the weather.
On keyless chucks to stop them coming loose, tighten them as usual but turn the. Chuck back only a touch and that should cure the wire wheel from coming out
Jennifer, I,m impressed by your get stuck in ways, not scared to try anything. The finished so far product looks cool and I know you will add to it also super job on the engine cover. I also like the don't care attitude if if not come out right, you are fun to watch tackle stuff. More videos thank you.
I have owned a bunch of boats and did all the work on them myself. You should be very proud of yourself, the engine cover came out great! Please keep the awesome videos coming. Thank you, Jim
Gus is so funny when he was fussing at you when he was on the ground and you were inside the boat! lol He was saying, Momma come play with me! lol 😂 He loves his momma!❤️ He loves his daddy too and he’s always talking to y’all! ❤️
I spent my whole work career training young people various skills and the one single thing that you have that is so rare is you never quit no matter how overwhelming it looks. (Unless there’s a bug), to me that’s the most important thing. 98% of people get frustrated and give up right away, you just smile and keep going. 😊
Any time I meet someone that’s a Seinfeld fan, I totally geek out. I feel like every day I find at least one situation that makes me reference Seinfeld lol. Glad you too can appreciate it
@@jennifersugint Absolutely I do the same thing! I used to give a daily quote at work of "this is like that episode of Seinfeld" My coworkers got really tired of it.
And now you’re a carpenter and upholstery technician too girl,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼! If you put some 2X2 in the corners, it would be stronger Jen, running the length of the corner! Makes everything stronger and braces it more!
I thought Chris was heading for a slap when he took over on the boat engine 😂. Great respect to you for being willing to literally try anything and succeeding. Many thanks too for making your videos so entertaining.
Always a great video from you an Chris. You did a great job on the head an the rest of the boat. Not being a water or boat person I'll never understand why people enjoy them so much or why they work soooo hard on them. Love the little snipets you put in your videos that always make me laugh. Glad you were able to enjoy your friends on the boat for the 4th. Can't wait to see what you tackle next. Gus is the "bomb".......lol!
Automotive machinist here... and I am thinking ''holy smokes'' at that price. At first the 'clean, suck, 'n, shave' price seemed about right. Then I noticed it had a belt sanded finish, not a machined finish. Paid for champagne, got toilet tank water. It's not flat, it's ''flat''. On the upside, with a low compression 4cyl and a thick composite gasket, it should seal and live.
The boat looks sooo much better! Boats are normally money pits so in my opinion its better to have something like that where you can beat on it, have fun and not worry about scratching the gelcoat or putting a nic in the upholstery. You can have tons of fun and still sell it for a profit, that rarely happens with boats so thats great. Love your edit inserts, they are brilliant!
Thank you!! And yea I agree about them potentially being money pits. It is nice in a way to have a junky boat so you don’t have to worry about dings and dents and anything else that inevitably happens.
I was a novice mechanic when I was 12 much like you are now...put my first engine together at 16 it was 327 chevy with some goodies by the time I was in my 20's I rebuilt more engines than I can remember on average about 1.5 per week in a small shop we built. I started racing old muscle cars with the works installed in the engine, trans, and chassis at about the sametime. Then I got into motorcycles engines (aka superbikes) Kawasaki 1000, Honda supersport 750s and a few dirt bikes. Now I have a 1977 Baja bowrider jet boat with a olds 455. I still have a 1969 Chevy Malibu that runs 6.23 in the 1/8th mile called the Hunk of Junk Jr. I'm a ASE master tech with factory training from Ford Motor Company in electronics and electrical! I'm still turning wrenches 55 hours a week so it's safe to assume I love fixing broken engines and learn something new almost everyday. Never have I met a auto tech that knows everything including me. Doing things on your own is the best experience with a little help from a knowledgeable mechanic. Interesting vid and enjoyable! 👍 Some of the toys and work I enjoy doing! ua-cam.com/video/mEmxy9J4bTQ/v-deo.html 😎
You done a good Job for someone that's never built engines before. Plus resurfacing the head is about average price in my country they about $180 to $200 & resitting the valve is $20. all and all good Job with the boat. 👍😁
Jennifer we all love your videos ....we love that you never give up on nothing you work on...keep bringing your videos we all love them out here in Pennsylvania
Another excellent job and awesome video Jenn!!! 💕 I love all your videos and am always looking forward to the next one! I'm praying for your friend to have a full recovery. Much Love, Jennifer C
It must feel so satisfying to salvage a junk boat and bring it back to life! I love your videos and how you have no fear to tackle anything. I know it bugged you a little that Chris took over the reassembly but sometimes you have to accept help especially when you have a deadline. I placed my bet it would run right off the bat just like you and Chris not even testing the engine on dry land. You guys are so funny together lol Gotta love Gus, He never swam before that day? He's just as adventurous as you and Chris!
If we had more time he would have let me do more. I’m so glad we got it out in time. And Gus has swam before. I was just egging him on lol. He’s actually a good swimmer without the life jacket. Better swimmer than me 😂. Thanks so much for watching.
A really great video Jen! Glad to see Turbo and Gus paling around and all of you having fun on the 4th. Hope you get to enjoy the boat for a long time. 👍
Wow so I've watched all 3 of these videos. Great stuff and great job guys! I have a 17' 1988 Cobia bowrider which actually is very similar (same grey color/striping and I have a 2.5L) I've been mostly DIY since I got it 3 years ago. I still have good compression so I haven't gone this far into the engine. Rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump....etc. Anyway I just wanted to point out the wiring harness @ 26:12 in the background. I had stalling issues and after MANY unsuccessful repairs (fuel based) I unplugged that harness. It was dry and corroded. I cleaned it up and greased, did all the ground points as well. No issues since I ran through all the wiring. Something to watch out for because I missed most of this summer chasing gremlins. Hope you guys continue to make more videos about this boat!
Watching you do all this stuff is so relaxing. I admire that you stick with whatever you are doing and get it done. I want to say that you make me laugh with all your adventures. I will say that I am not laughing at you but with you. Please remember "When you can't find the sunshine, Be the sunshine". Also give Gus a big treat for me.
You put out such awesome videos Jen. Your boat now runs and looks fantastic, and you got it on the water in time for the 4th. Congrats !! And Turbo's look, the king of the cats at the end was priceless !
How come no one on youtube uses Braze to fix cracks in cast iron ??? Cast iron being porous makes Braze the best, longest lasting way to repair cracks... right stuff is not the right stuff... Chris you know this,, don't ya ??? Awesome job on the interior Jen... Love the content from both NNKH and Jen....
Hi guys. Great video as always. You turned a zero into a hero ! I really love the relationship that you 2 have.. Very supportive of each others interests and individuality. It really reminds me of my husbands and my relationship. A suggestion for the boats name...... "Thunder Storm" . As she sounds awesome and a reference to the crappy weather, that you endured whilst building her. Love from Dave and Emma from England. P.S Regarding the cracks in the block. My hubby says, learn a new skill called Cold Welding. A very old fashioned and effective way to fix cracked cast iron properly and permanently. And where the crack is, the engine could stay in situ whilst you did the repair. Also costs minimal $$$$$$. Would make a great you tube video as well.
Watched the video again, and I totally love the hard work, and how the final product came out. Jen doesn't seem to be intimidated by anything she is asked too do. She also can be very creative in many areas. Gus is such a great little extension to the family. I just love seeing him in all the videos, such a great addition to the family! Thanks for the great video, and please be safe in all that you do. IMHO, there is no video I've watched that has not be extremely entertained by, and so completely entertained by Chris's knowledge, and skill on the projects he takes on.
Excellent job! You guys will really turn that boat around. I have to say, I enjoy the videos both of you produce... so much better than a lot of the other channels. Very real, down to earth and entertaining! You both use what you have to make great content. Nowadays most think you need to have "new" to enjoy life... half the fun is doing it yourself. Keep up the great work... don't change!!
Nice job guys. I had a 1979 boat with that same engine and I leaned to start it at home before going to the boat ramp. The battery didn't give me too many time to get it running.
Y’all put a awning on the boat, looks good guys! Y’all did a awesome job together Jen and Chris, and Gus has life jacket too! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼 The engine cover looks great Jen, good job girl! The side covers look awesome too Jen, everything looks great! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for sharing Jen, Chris, Gus and Turbo, can’t forget Turbo! He was in a little part of your video Jen! lol 😂 your friend in Lake Charles Louisiana, Kirk sending prayers and good vibes y’all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Love you guys!❤️❤️
@@jennifersugint I just love you guys and those fur babies! Keep up the video sweetheart and tell Chris hi for me! I just finished watching his video on the shop update and it looks awesome! I’m so glad to see a couple so happy and helping each other and that makes a great relationship Jen! I’m a retired welder, 63 years old and hooked on Utube! lol 😂 It’s so hot here in Louisiana that I wait until 6 or 7 to go outside and do anything girl! It’s 96 degrees with a heat index of 110 ! I worked in that for 40 years and I’m not pushing myself out there for anything unless it’s an emergency! lol 😂 you know what I’m saying! lol 😂 thank you your kind words sweetie, y’all stay safe and hydrated my good friends! Love y’all ❤️🙋🏼🙋🏼 God Bless y’all, Kirk from Louisiana!😘👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Miss Jen, I'm struggling to remember enjoying a video so much. Try and forgive your grumpy uvver 'arf, I'm cut from similar cloth, we have no patience with ourselves for errors and sometimes find it hard to remember what it's like to be a noob and to also spot the talent and enthusiasm which marks someone so worthwhile. God bless you both and wee Gus, you guys made my morning. More please, ma'am 👍👏👏👏🤗
For your engine cover, put three hinges on the top back and screw it to the top of the ttransom and handles on the front lower left and right. Need engine work, just lift it up and it will rest on top of transom
Nice work Jenn!! They make a tool holder for that razor blade and it's much nicer to use then your fingers and safer! The wire brush adapter kept falling out as the chuck in the drill is worn and not making a tight fit on the shaft of the wire brush. Great to see a lady out working with the tools, not many out there! Hope the boat goes well, another one saved from the dump or neglected over the years. Cheers from Kingston, ON Canada! PS Saw tip, never get behind the saw when you are cutting, skill saw is always used on the right with your right hand. If you have your body across the wood and your legs are in path of the saw and it "kicks back" it will go right into your body/legs. Watch the bugs when cutting, let go of the trigger and keep the saw in the wood vs taking it out while it's the blade is slowing down incase the guard is not closed, it will cut what it pleases!
Chris-Oil Check Complete! It's funny, they could have edited it, but they are a cute happy couple. Definitely a strong relationship. Boat is cool too. I have watched them hours on end. Gus is the true star. He brings out the feels. Such a good boy.
Love you girl. I look forward to every video. Please keep them coming. Good luck with the boat. Looks like a lot of work. No doubt you’re up for the challenge. Huge fan.
Drill small holes on each side of the crack and then JB weld or use your cold weld no matter what kind it is it will stay on there and you won't have a issue ever unless it freezes again
Hi guys, Great job, Jen! , you're amazing when you set your sites on getting something done. Your boat looks & runs so much better than before. I ❤ Turbo, such a personality. Luv Gus, too!
when you broke out the electric skateboard and threw the head into the box on top, i almost died laughing - thats exactly what i would do (and have done somewhat, but with a hobby-grade remote control car) lol! awesome vid, you and chris make some of the best content on the platform👍
Jennifer Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but I strongly recommend you use eye protection when using those wire wheel brushes. Pieces of those wires can fly off and injure you. I had a friend get one of those wires embedded in his arm, thats how much force the flying wire elements have.
Picks up pretty much half the engine “What is this”? And no one there too answer. Jen you’re a true comic without even trying. Awesome vid as always. !! You’re the best.
I've been keeping smiling for the whole video. Superior funny editing. Honestly, your channels are the best my subscribes for past few years. I'm very glad that i've found you folkes)
You did a great job of learning by doing on the cylinder head removal, and the gasket and cylinder head install/torquing. Great job on the engine cover. It doesn't have to fancy just functional and safe. I'd rather get on the water with a boat that only costs 1,000 bucks instead of 10,000 ! You get to enjoy the river/lake just as much as anybody else!! Great up in the sky video at the end with the boat cruising on the river.
Really enjoyed this series. Usually just watch the engine stuff but the restoration work on the upholstery was very interesting as well. I’ve done lots of engines but no upholstery so this was a good place to start.
Omg Jennifer, Chris really needs to put a ring on it 😊. I resly love both your channels. I've never been around boats always had questions, now those are getting answered 😊
looking good on that engine cover. For the boat I have, I ended up with one nearly identical, and its fully functional, and looks better than the one it replaced. I ended up covering mine with marine vinyl on the sides, and marine carpet on the front and top. Finished the edges with some aluminum angle stock I had, finished off the raw edges of the upholstery, and keeps it from blowng off at the lake.
Wow that was a rare “where did the time go!” kinda UA-cam video… Of course Jen, you’re kinda captivating anyway, but also it was just really really engaging ‘episode’ Love your determination, sense of humour and ability to laugh at yourself when required. Yourself and Chris are a powerhouse of great content, and I hope it leads to even more exposure and opportunities moving forward. Thank you again :)
Been tool Long Jennifer, I have to sit all day and I love watching You Tube, NNKH and your channel are regular parts of my week. Sooo I am almost done watching all your Episodes, time for a new 1 or 5 or 6
You don't really need pressure treated wood. Before you cover it just give it a coat of fiberglass resin and you'll be good. Disassemble each wood piece and trace it on the new wood.
I would clean the cylinders with a fine emery cloth to get the rust out of them and then coat them with oil to keep them from rusting again. Clean the rusted mark off of the boat rail with 1000 grit wet sandpaper to get the mark off.
Want to know how to stop your wire wheel falling out of the drill??. When you tighten the chuck up tight, give it one click in the other direction to lock chuck... it will not come loose again.
When you want to do something Jennifer you do it and you did a great job with that boat. You just never know what you are capable of doing until you give it a try. Some people would not have even tackled a job like that. I am 73 and in remission from B-Cell Lymphoma Leukemia. You never give up just keep on fighting.

Ooh… I would re-paint the numbers nicely on the side too!…….
Great upgrade guys considering your time constraints……
This is the 4 video I’ve seen of you guys…. And you 2 were made for each other!!
By the way….. did anyone tell you…. You’re the spitting image of
LARA PARKER…. ( without makeup);from the 1967 soap opera
DARK SHADOWS ….. she was about your age when the series started!
And…. Chris has probably already been told he looks a hell of a lot like :
Christopher Lambert ;
the guy who played in the 1984 movie “HIGHLANDER”
Order a poster of each actor for your garage….. watch your friends freak out:
“ DUDE…. I DIDN’T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE FAMOUS ACTORS TOO??????”🤯
Well….. keep up the hard work you 2…….
Oh…… the new garage is a mechanic’s dream come true!!!!
In case you didn’t know it…… you guys are in heaven on earth…….
…… I know sometimes it doesn’t feel like that…..
But…. TRUST ME!!!…. Lol
….. pay no attention to the hell around you….lol
Take it from a 67 year old jazz composer…. whose been around…. A block or 2👀

maybe a $1 per song from your merch store could work?

I’m loving how you freehand the circular saw and not even particularly carefully, yet still get what you want. That’s a skill!

She's back!!! Any day with Gus is a good day!!
Always love the music. Also I had a chuckle every time the wire wheel fell off!
Prayers for a quick recovery for your friend, I hope you made her day witht the boat ride.
When you are having a crappy day, just watch Jen’s videos. Also your montages is hilarious. Thanks so much Jen
Was so excited to see this!!! Love everything you guys do!! Side note that AG1 jingle you did was amazing!
I like the way you handled the rebuild of the engine and its cover.
Jen I think it looks great for a weekenders perspective it's always a better to spend the day on the water then work. And that's priceless. Don't sell yourself short you did a fantastic job.
Yup! I agree with Chris. Looks tight to me. Oh...... the block? I thought you were talking about something else. 😳

Great job Jen! You don’t let anything get in your way of accomplishing anything you set out to do.
You are an inspiration to young girls and women who want to get into fixing up all things mechanical. Teach by example, well done!
I absolutely love this channel. Love your enthusiasm and how Chris just lets you get on with it !

Glad you were able to enjoy your friends on the boat for the 4th. Can't wait to see what you tackle next. Gus is the "bomb".......lol!
Automotive machinist here... and I am thinking ''holy smokes'' at that price.
At first the 'clean, suck, 'n, shave' price seemed about right. Then I noticed it had a belt sanded finish, not a machined finish. Paid for champagne, got toilet tank water.
It's not flat, it's ''flat''.
On the upside, with a low compression 4cyl and a thick composite gasket, it should seal and live.
The boat looks sooo much better! Boats are normally money pits so in my opinion its better to have something like that where you can beat on it, have fun and not worry about scratching the gelcoat or putting a nic in the upholstery. You can have tons of fun and still sell it for a profit, that rarely happens with boats so thats great. Love your edit inserts, they are brilliant!
Thank you!! And yea I agree about them potentially being money pits. It is nice in a way to have a junky boat so you don’t have to worry about dings and dents and anything else that inevitably happens.
I was a novice mechanic when I was 12 much like you are now...put my first engine together at 16 it was 327 chevy with some goodies by the time I was in my 20's I rebuilt more engines than I can remember on average about 1.5 per week in a small shop we built. I started racing old muscle cars with the works installed in the engine, trans, and chassis at about the sametime. Then I got into motorcycles engines (aka superbikes) Kawasaki 1000, Honda supersport 750s and a few dirt bikes. Now I have a 1977 Baja bowrider jet boat with a olds 455. I still have a 1969 Chevy Malibu that runs 6.23 in the 1/8th mile called the Hunk of Junk Jr. I'm a ASE master tech with factory training from Ford Motor Company in electronics and electrical!
I'm still turning wrenches 55 hours a week so it's safe to assume I love fixing broken engines and learn something new almost everyday. Never have I met a auto tech that knows everything including me. Doing things on your own is the best experience with a little help from a knowledgeable mechanic. Interesting vid and enjoyable! 👍
Some of the toys and work I enjoy doing! ua-cam.com/video/mEmxy9J4bTQ/v-deo.html 😎
You done a good Job for someone that's never built engines before. Plus resurfacing the head is about average price in my country they about $180 to $200 & resitting the valve is $20. all and all good Job with the boat. 👍😁
Jennifer we all love your videos ....we love that you never give up on nothing you work on...keep bringing your videos we all love them out here in Pennsylvania
first time watching your video. it was so much fun. I'm definitely subscribing 😊
Thank you, James!! 😋
Another excellent job and awesome video Jenn!!! 💕 I love all your videos and am always looking forward to the next one! I'm praying for your friend to have a full recovery. Much Love, Jennifer C
Once you clean the steel surface give it a dusting of WD-40 to repel rust. You can always clean it off later.
It must feel so satisfying to salvage a junk boat and bring it back to life! I love your videos and how you have no fear to tackle anything. I know it bugged you a little that Chris took over the reassembly but sometimes you have to accept help especially when you have a deadline. I placed my bet it would run right off the bat just like you and Chris not even testing the engine on dry land. You guys are so funny together lol Gotta love Gus, He never swam before that day? He's just as adventurous as you and Chris!
If we had more time he would have let me do more. I’m so glad we got it out in time. And Gus has swam before. I was just egging him on lol. He’s actually a good swimmer without the life jacket. Better swimmer than me 😂. Thanks so much for watching.
למה אין תרגום😂😂😂
שפשפי קלה שהיה לך לא קשה😂😂😂😂
I got excited when i saw you posted a new video. I really enjoy watching you and Chris work. Thanks for the entertainment.
Our pleasure!
A really great video Jen! Glad to see Turbo and Gus paling around and all of you having fun on the 4th. Hope you get to enjoy the boat for a long time. 👍
Wow so I've watched all 3 of these videos. Great stuff and great job guys! I have a 17' 1988 Cobia bowrider which actually is very similar (same grey color/striping and I have a 2.5L) I've been mostly DIY since I got it 3 years ago. I still have good compression so I haven't gone this far into the engine. Rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump....etc. Anyway I just wanted to point out the wiring harness @ 26:12 in the background. I had stalling issues and after MANY unsuccessful repairs (fuel based) I unplugged that harness. It was dry and corroded. I cleaned it up and greased, did all the ground points as well. No issues since I ran through all the wiring. Something to watch out for because I missed most of this summer chasing gremlins. Hope you guys continue to make more videos about this boat!
Watching you do all this stuff is so relaxing. I admire that you stick with whatever you are doing and get it done. I want to say that you make me laugh with all your adventures. I will say that I am not laughing at you but with you. Please remember "When you can't find the sunshine, Be the sunshine". Also give Gus a big treat for me.
I appreciate it!! And I’m glad you laugh along with me. I don’t mind if you laugh at me a little too lol. And Gus says hi 😁
You put out such awesome videos Jen. Your boat now runs and looks fantastic, and you got it on the water in time for the 4th. Congrats !! And Turbo's look, the king of the cats at the end was priceless !
4th of August
How come no one on youtube uses Braze to fix cracks in cast iron ??? Cast iron being porous makes Braze the best, longest lasting way to repair cracks... right stuff is not the right stuff... Chris you know this,, don't ya ??? Awesome job on the interior Jen... Love the content from both NNKH and Jen....
Jenn…Unbelievable the projects you take on! Thanks for sharing with us. Boat Names: “Nice Enough” or “Jenn’s Know How”.
Hi guys. Great video as always. You turned a zero into a hero ! I really love the relationship that you 2 have.. Very supportive of each others interests and individuality. It really reminds me of my
husbands and my relationship. A suggestion for the boats name...... "Thunder Storm" . As she sounds awesome and a reference to the crappy weather, that you endured whilst building her. Love from Dave and Emma from England.
P.S Regarding the cracks in the block. My hubby says, learn a new skill called Cold Welding. A very old fashioned and effective way to fix cracked cast iron properly and permanently. And where the crack is, the engine could stay in situ whilst you did the repair. Also costs minimal $$$$$$. Would make a great you tube video as well.
Absolutely Love your videos! ❤ Love how you never give up, and how realistic you are! Thanks and please post more often.
Watched the video again, and I totally love the hard work, and how the final product came out. Jen doesn't seem to be intimidated by anything she is asked too do. She also can be very creative in many areas. Gus is such a great little extension to the family. I just love seeing him in all the videos, such a great addition to the family! Thanks for the great video, and please be safe in all that you do. IMHO, there is no video I've watched that has not be extremely entertained by, and so completely entertained by Chris's knowledge, and skill on the projects he takes on.
That means a lot to me. Thanks a lot David!
Excellent job! You guys will really turn that boat around. I have to say, I enjoy the videos both of you produce... so much better than a lot of the other channels. Very real, down to earth and entertaining! You both use what you have to make great content. Nowadays most think you need to have "new" to enjoy life... half the fun is doing it yourself. Keep up the great work... don't change!!
Nice job guys. I had a 1979 boat with that same engine and I leaned to start it at home before going to the boat ramp. The battery didn't give me too many time to get it running.
Y’all put a awning on the boat, looks good guys! Y’all did a awesome job together Jen and Chris, and Gus has life jacket too! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼 The engine cover looks great Jen, good job girl! The side covers look awesome too Jen, everything looks great! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for sharing Jen, Chris, Gus and Turbo, can’t forget Turbo! He was in a little part of your video Jen! lol 😂 your friend in Lake Charles Louisiana, Kirk sending prayers and good vibes y’all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Love you guys!❤️❤️
Appreciate you, Kirk!!
@@jennifersugint I just love you guys and those fur babies! Keep up the video sweetheart and tell Chris hi for me! I just finished watching his video on the shop update and it looks awesome! I’m so glad to see a couple so happy and helping each other and that makes a great relationship Jen! I’m a retired welder, 63 years old and hooked on Utube! lol 😂 It’s so hot here in Louisiana that I wait until 6 or 7 to go outside and do anything girl! It’s 96 degrees with a heat index of 110 ! I worked in that for 40 years and I’m not pushing myself out there for anything unless it’s an emergency! lol 😂 you know what I’m saying! lol 😂 thank you your kind words sweetie, y’all stay safe and hydrated my good friends! Love y’all ❤️🙋🏼🙋🏼 God Bless y’all, Kirk from Louisiana!😘👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Miss Jen, I'm struggling to remember enjoying a video so much. Try and forgive your grumpy uvver 'arf, I'm cut from similar cloth, we have no patience with ourselves for errors and sometimes find it hard to remember what it's like to be a noob and to also spot the talent and enthusiasm which marks someone so worthwhile. God bless you both and wee Gus, you guys made my morning. More please, ma'am 👍👏👏👏🤗
Hello Jen and Chris😉
Great viewing from start to finish and even here in South Australia I enjoyed this video many thanks 🙃
For your engine cover, put three hinges on the top back and screw it to the top of the ttransom and handles on the front lower left and right. Need engine work, just lift it up and it will rest on top of transom
Good job on the boat Jen. Prayers for your friend.
Nice work Jenn!! They make a tool holder for that razor blade and it's much nicer to use then your fingers and safer! The wire brush adapter kept falling out as the chuck in the drill is worn and not making a tight fit on the shaft of the wire brush. Great to see a lady out working with the tools, not many out there! Hope the boat goes well, another one saved from the dump or neglected over the years. Cheers from Kingston, ON Canada! PS Saw tip, never get behind the saw when you are cutting, skill saw is always used on the right with your right hand. If you have your body across the wood and your legs are in path of the saw and it "kicks back" it will go right into your body/legs. Watch the bugs when cutting, let go of the trigger and keep the saw in the wood vs taking it out while it's the blade is slowing down incase the guard is not closed, it will cut what it pleases!
It's fun to see what these kids are up to. Hope your friend is doing well.
Chris-Oil Check Complete! It's funny, they could have edited it, but they are a cute happy couple. Definitely a strong relationship. Boat is cool too. I have watched them hours on end. Gus is the true star. He brings out the feels. Such a good boy.
Love you girl. I look forward to every video. Please keep them coming. Good luck with the boat. Looks like a lot of work. No doubt you’re up for the challenge. Huge fan.
48:38 the machine shop I worked at we resurfaced heads for $80.00. $225 was the cost of a valve job which included everything!
Awesome video Jen. You and Chris have this content nailed. Honestly the best all around engine content on UA-cam.
Appreciate it!!
Drill small holes on each side of the crack and then JB weld or use your cold weld no matter what kind it is it will stay on there and you won't have a issue ever unless it freezes again
Hi guys,
Great job, Jen!
, you're amazing when you set your sites on getting something done. Your boat looks & runs so much better than before.
I ❤ Turbo, such a personality. Luv Gus, too!
Your steps came out awesome. You should be proud of yourself. You ended with a song and a smile. You’re a beautiful young woman. 😊
when you broke out the electric skateboard and threw the head into the box on top, i almost died laughing - thats exactly what i would do (and have done somewhat, but with a hobby-grade remote control car) lol! awesome vid, you and chris make some of the best content on the platform👍
What I love about you most Jennifer is your not afraid to tackle any project
I love you guys and the Chris/Jen adventures. I love the boat, great work!
Looks like you had a great 4th! Wishing your friend well and hoping you share many more fond memories!
Sweet, was waiting for another eye candy video
yo wtf lmaoooo
You’re referring to that smoke show of a boat of course.
I love the little out takes from movies, etc. These are great. please do more!
Love your videos keep up the good work!
OMG, she is so wonderful. I love her videos. For the life of me, don't understand why she doesn't have 900k subscribers. Love that smile.
Poor Hannah , hope she gets better soon 😊
Me too ❤️
Cleaning and prep is the best way for the novice mechanic to learn. Grunt work is good work!
Did you name the boat?
Sea Word
Gotta hand it to you, Jen - you're not afraid to tackle anything, and it usually turns out well! Good job!
Jen is like a Honey Badger, she doesn't give up!
Jennifer Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but I strongly recommend you use eye protection when using those wire wheel brushes. Pieces of those wires can fly off and injure you. I had a friend get one of those wires embedded in his arm, thats how much force the flying wire elements have.
Come on Chris!! Buy the woman a real toolbox! You can’t just throw her tools in a cardboard box.
Picks up pretty much half the engine “What is this”? And no one there too answer. Jen you’re a true comic without even trying. Awesome vid as always. !! You’re the best.
I've been keeping smiling for the whole video. Superior funny editing. Honestly, your channels are the best my subscribes for past few years. I'm very glad that i've found you folkes)
Wow, thank you! That made my day ❤️
Don't forget to use a heat gun to soften the vinyl when 'stretching' it. It will help making turns and radius corners.
When we left blocks out we used it smear grease on the surface which prevented rust, then you just wipe the grease off when you put it back together
We need the rain in texas!! Send it over here Jen!! Keep up the good work!!
You did a great job of learning by doing on the cylinder head removal, and the gasket and cylinder head install/torquing. Great job on the engine cover. It doesn't have to fancy just functional and safe. I'd rather get on the water with a boat that only costs 1,000 bucks instead of 10,000 ! You get to enjoy the river/lake just as much as anybody else!! Great up in the sky video at the end with the boat cruising on the river.
Really enjoyed this series. Usually just watch the engine stuff but the restoration work on the upholstery was very interesting as well. I’ve done lots of engines but no upholstery so this was a good place to start.
Omg Jennifer, Chris really needs to put a ring on it 😊. I resly love both your channels. I've never been around boats always had questions, now those are getting answered 😊
looking good on that engine cover. For the boat I have, I ended up with one nearly identical, and its fully functional, and looks better than the one it replaced. I ended up covering mine with marine vinyl on the sides, and marine carpet on the front and top. Finished the edges with some aluminum angle stock I had, finished off the raw edges of the upholstery, and keeps it from blowng off at the lake.
I love it that you have your own channel now. Maybe we'll get to see more of your pup?
Wow that was a rare “where did the time go!” kinda UA-cam video…
Of course Jen, you’re kinda captivating anyway, but also it was just really really engaging ‘episode’
Love your determination, sense of humour and ability to laugh at yourself when required.
Yourself and Chris are a powerhouse of great content, and I hope it leads to even more exposure and opportunities moving forward.
Thank you again :)
Been tool Long Jennifer, I have to sit all day and I love watching You Tube, NNKH and your channel are regular parts of my week. Sooo I am almost done watching all your Episodes, time for a new 1 or 5 or 6
Great video. Jennifer has skills. Making a wood cover like that is harder than people realize. Half work and half fun video. Great to watch it all!
You don't really need pressure treated wood. Before you cover it just give it a coat of fiberglass resin and you'll be good. Disassemble each wood piece and trace it on the new wood.
I would clean the cylinders with a fine emery cloth to get the rust out of them and then coat them with oil to keep them from rusting again. Clean the rusted mark off of the boat rail with 1000 grit wet sandpaper to get the mark off.
Want to know how to stop your wire wheel falling out of the drill??. When you tighten the chuck up tight, give it one click in the other direction to lock chuck... it will not come loose again.
