      Also I would put a battery on it and take the spark plugs out and have them hooked up and put the end of the spark plug on the motor block and see if it sparks and also clean the carburetor or carburetors and see if it will start out of the water the shut it of pretty quick.

    Love the project. I've restored several of those johnson/evenrude motors and they'll run forever once you get it up and running. Plenty of parts out there for the most part. Be careful of the throttle box. Some of those 80s throttle boxes have springs and parts that will simply drop out if you're not careful when you disassemble. I learned the hard way myself.

    Pick up a nice cape for the Project Boat, you get a tuxedo, then go to the Opera, Phantom of the Opera, you have a good base to work with, as in AYO's project boat check the transom, walk on the floor looking for soft spots.
    This boat should clean up well. Even live well's.
    Great content, you have a good camera man, he will be great soon .

    May I suggest after the rebuild is complete you have a challenge with this boat, the Itty Bitty and Norm's giant John Boat. The biggest variety of fish, the biggest single fish and the heaviest total catch could make for some great videos.
    Once the challenge is done you can have an online auction with the proceeds donated to the poor folks in Ukraine.
    Love your videos. Give my best regards to Badge and Norm.

    If the keel has been beached enough you will want to sand out the area around it and sand it, build it back up with fiberglass and resin, sand that smooth then paint/gel coat... Go over the entire bottom pushing hard with a screwdriver. If you can punch a hole the fiberglass is thin and should be built up.
    Floor stringers are probably wood and probably rotted. We ran into that and ended up cutting the top molded fiberglass section off the hull and removing the flotation foam, redoing the entire support structure and a new piece of wood in the transom. This is a good time to reinforce the hull fiberglass from the inside! Poured in new flotation foam and cu that flush with the top of the stringers Lowered it back on, fiberglassed it back together, sanded smooth, put on a new Gel coat and clear coat... Took us a year to rebuild it. That was 20 years ago and that friend is still using that boat!

    • @MaryBrownForFreedom
      @MaryBrownForFreedom 2 роки тому

      I helped a friend do one 20 years ago... we ended up cutting the interior molded section off the hull where they were originally bonded together, all new wood stringers(I would go aluminum now, or carbon fiber), new flotation foam poured in then we bonded the top back on. Sande it all smooth, repaired the keel where it had been beached a lot(next time I would add an aluminum protector over the fiberglass, wasn't my boat so...) and then did a new gel coat. Turned out nice, friend still uses it, I went fishing with him twice last year. Floor is still solid, transom still good(we replaced the wood in it). Al new wiring for modern electronics and trolling motor... it was basically a brand new bat when we got done. Took a year of nights and weekends, he bought a gantry crane for his shop to lift the boat off the trailer and put it on a jig to spin it for bottom access.
