  • We dig out a 1988 Seebold Eagle 265 that has sat inside unused for 17 years! We attempt to get it running with minimal work. Can we do it?

    Anyone know what “boat” stands for?

  • @miken2686
    @miken2686 11 місяців тому +3

    9 minutes in. So. Many. Words. So far all I know is that he's SUPER EXCITED about all kinds of stuff, the boat looks good, once ran great, and that he's super exited about how good it still looks. Also, he's super excited in case you missed that, which is exciting.

    This is sweet. Just followed you here (late discoverer of you). My mother is friends with the seabolds. Used to go watch the races as a kit and we’d have pit passes through their team. I honestly had no idea they had production boats of any sort.

    Can wait to see this thing on the water. Nothing wrong with carburetors but I’d like to see it converted to Holley EFI. Thinking about building the engine in my Caravelle interceptor but it has multiport fuel injection with the Mercruiser 555 PCM which is, I hear, difficult to tune. Want to convert my to Holley EFI. Great content as always! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

My neighbour's had one. 454 stock mark5 engine from factory bravo 1 out drive. Well before its time I belive.

    I would be more concerned about rusty valve springs than them sitting. Determine what type of cam, hydraulic, hyd roller, or check spring pressure at installed height and put a new set on. Not that much money, Prime the oil system with a drill primer with the dist out and lube up the springs, get some on the valve stems as well.
