@@jondavidmcnabb When I bought my first boat, my dad pulled my aside and said, "Boats are a lot of fun. They're also like taking a cold shower fully clothed while tearing up hundred dollar bills and watching them run down the drain." He wasn't wrong!
I’ve made money off of every boat I’ve ever owned. And, they have all given me years of entertainment. The problem is, most people buy the wrong boat because they don’t actually know what they want.

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV The Holy Bible says that you are a sinner, and without Jesus Christ, you will die in your sins and spend eternity burning in Hell. There is no sin that can enter Heaven. You must have your sins washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; he shed his blood for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven - you must turn to him, trust him, believe on him and him alone for the salvation of your soul. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." - Romans 3:23-28 KJV
A Dynaplate 06:08 is used on wooden/fibreglass boats to give a marine HF radio a good "ground" connection to the water and give the antenna/tuner an RF counterpoise. A Dynaplate is made from sintered bronze and is generally connected via a wide copper strap to the radio equipment as RF travels along the surface of a conductor. I lost count of how many I installed on non-metallic hulled boats over the years :-)
Yeah it could be used as a ground spot. But it's main use it's actually to protect from galvanic corrosion, a much more important job if it wasn't painted over it might have saved the axel more. They are called Anodes and which one you should use depends on what type of water it's mainly going to be used in 👍
I’ve seen so many UA-cam makers use Total Boat epoxy for non-boat projects, and this is the first project that I understand why Total Boats products are branded “Total Boat”.
Sometimes it really is just easier to take the hard route and do it right the first time (as opposed to taking the easy route for a day and a half only to eventually end up going the hard route anyway).
Awesome rebuild! As a boat owner and marine service writer, trust me when I highly suggest you replace any zinc deck screws with proper stainless screws
If the one part epoxy glue he used is anywhere near the same strength as proper 2 part epoxy then the deck screws aren't really doing much anyway. I've never used that glue so if it is shit compared to proper epoxy then replacing them with something that will hold up to water is a good idea
@@zebraloverbridget glue really holds up well to UV exposure like... being outside 24/7 - right??? 🤦♂salt water corrosion and abrasion can only help too.
Hey peter, the Dynaplate is probably a SACRIFICIAL ANODE. It prevents saltwater from eating your metals, as metal in the sea is basically just making a very expensive battery. The sacrificial anode is made of metals more reactive than things like steel and aluminium, so it gets consumed, protecting your shaft, screw, fixtures .etc Be sure yours is still good, and don't go into saltwater without it :D
@@MiesvanderLippe Then you're gonna need a whole lot more copper than that tiny plate. I had my whole 20 foot KMV painted with copper based bottom paint back in the days and forgot to pull up the engine for a couple of weeks... The lower unit was basically a coral reef.
I grew up on and around boats, whether it be dad's yachts, or dhonis in Maldives, and dad always drummed into me how much work, and cost, there is in owning a boat. I can still remember taking our boats into slipways and hand sanding back the hull, adding antifouling paint. The one thing that sticks out is how much everything cost in the boating stores. Good luck!
Boating stores are a rip off. Sure they collect most everything you may need in one place, but they put a 50 to 200 percent store tax on everything. Actually most things can be found in Lowes or Home Depot. It might not say "Marine" on the package but there are a lot of overlap. Stainless is stainless, bronze is bronze and a bit of common sense will help figure out what is suitable.

The Copper or Zinc plates are for Corrosion points. Basicly those act like a battery so the other metal parts in the water are less likely to degrade as fast.
That's what I thought until I googled it. Apparently it's grounding for the radios against lightning strikes. I don't really understand it its beyond my basic understanding.
@@jono6379 The fiberglass hull is non conductive so a lightning strike has nowhere to go once it hits the boat. With this conductive plate the boats electrical system is connected to the large body of conductive water around it. The idea is that the lightning should take the path of least resistance and travel straight into the water without causing too much damage to your electrical system.
With those poly tanks if you havent sold them yet you can always reuse them as freshwater tanks for non-drinking. You can use it to do stuff like wash off salt off the deck as well as any gear you bring with you. That is more important they you probably would think.
Boat -- a hole in the water lined with metal, wood, or fiberglass into which you pour tons of money. The two happiest days of a boat owner's life is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells it.
using a pipe nipple for hose connections is pretty standard, they make marine hose in 1/8 inch increments so you can find hose that fits barbs or right over pipe OD. you could cut some grooves in though to grip the hose better, but with double hose clamps, that would never come off.
That dynaplate is to protect the fiberglass boat from lightning strikes. If it gets hit by lightning it travels through the boat snd right into the water. Causes the body of water to be the ground, providing a path of least residence to protect your electrical system
@@Thewall6110 that's what I originally thought it was until I googled it. I'm not sure if it's the same material, setup, ect. as what they use for sacrificial anodes but it definitely might double as that. Would make sense to have something like that do both, that way it forces it to be changed every so often to make sure you keep lighting protection for safety, while keeping the boat safe from corrosion too
Seeing the same model of chainfall that I use to fly truss a few dozen meters in the air at work get used to hoist an engine out of a boat is truly a thing of beauty.

Since you already gone this far, cut a hole in the rudder so that when you turn it 90deg to the skeg, you can pull the shaft through. will save the headache in the future allowing shaft changes in the water. also since you have all that metal below the waterline, get a good marine electrician to come and properly bond all your fittings.
This is just the coolest series, and I can't believe how insanely good Peter is at projects like this (with help from enabling friends lol). Eagerly awaiting part 3!
When you're done with this money sink and are ready for a new one, I'd love to see a working, life sized, replica of Ponyo's boat with the same putt putt engine.
If you don't scuff cured epoxy before attempting to glue down with epoxy based adhesive it will definitely not stay unless it is still at the B stage and still gummy. The blush is like an oil. trust me, I build Jarrett Bay boats for about 9 years now and I am head carpenter on the hull crew.
Always seeing more stuff like this from Peter frankly blows my mind, especially starting from college and struggling to pay rent to being the Internet personality he is today.
I think that copper plate is not for lightning protection. I think it's for passive corosion protection (frame and plate create a small galvanic couple where more negatively charged electrode get's used up which is mostly Cu and Mg)
Hang in there Peter, boats can be very overwhelmingly expensive and overwhelmingly taxing. Sometimes it feels cheaper and easier to build an entirely new boat. Though I love this series so far, great job!
The Cummins 5.9’s are pretty incredible engines so far as HP to weight and reliability go. It’s hard to think of a better engine to put in that kind of boat. I used to have a 40’ wooden salmon troller that was built in 1929 for the navy. It was an awesome old boat but maintenance was a challenge. You are doing fine. I think you will be happy with results.
I'm sure it was a bargain, but it's going to be one huge pit of money and effort to make it 'float'. Regarding taking the prop off, I'm sure it's the same issue as trying to remove an aluminium seat post from a steel bike frame. Bimetallic corrosion; not heat, not oil, not brute force will shift it. Looking forward to see this boat progress.
_Defiantly_ growing on you like barnacles? Because this is a good series to cleanse my mind and introduce me to new, tasty building principles and the way to repair a new vehicle to add to my vague recollections for possible futures XD
6:08 thats a zink/copper cathode, the idea is that if anything on the boat starts to rust, is that thing. Obs more important in boats with a lot of steel on them. Here´s the wikipedia explanation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection
That is not really how things work. You use zinc or aluminum anodes to protect the submerged metal of your boat. Some boats use bronze or copper grounding plates to create a ground in contact with the ocean. It is unclear if this is a good idea but some boats do it, especially boats with RF equipment like SSB or loran. If you look up dynaplate you will see it is made of sintered bronze and is for grounding purposes, not anodic protection.
@@mckenziekeith7434 oh, didn't know boats needed "extra" grounding. I saw a rusted piece of metal on the hull and thought "cathode, duh". I will have to look more into grounding plates.
Nice boat you have there Peter once done she will fly with that engine just make sure you get the right pitch prop or if you have a few bucks spare get an adjustable pitch prop plus stick a bow thruster on her if she already has one I am not sure it will make docking so much easier as you will know after owning a few boats. I can't wait to see your next installment of this boat's improvements so all the best from John from Rugby UK.
That may be true, but he's probably doing whatever works for where he sails out of Florida. I'd guess the new engine is better on fuel, but whether that pays for itself at some point is another thing.
@@Nighthawk20000 That’s the problem, I’m wondering if he got taken advantage of. Lots of marina mechanics will take advantage of the clueless. They will sell him on overpriced new stuff that they will have to work on all the time and offer him very little for an engine that can be sold for almost what the new one costs.
@@pauljs75 No, that new one isn’t going to be better on fuel. It’s a smaller engine making more power, it’s not going to get lower gph than that old Volvo. The Volvo is very fuel efficient, and that’s why there are thousands of them still being used today. A lot of them in boats that are far newer than the engine. That new engine is going to burn more fuel at a higher rpm, and be nowhere as reliable or easy to maintain. That was one heck of a downgrade to the boat.
@@adamr9215 Smaller? is a Cummins 5.9, the Volvo was 5.4L... Also the Volvo as a older engine must have precombustion chamber, while this Cummins have direct electronic injection which increases a lot the fuel efficiency.
@PeterSripol Someone should buy him one of those new boat propellers. Testing led by the company BoatTEST found that the Sharrow Propeller was up to 30% more efficient than a standard blade propeller.
Boats are holes in the water you poor money into, ... just like airplanes are holes in the sky you throw your money into, and let's not forget cars are holes in the roads that we throw are money in! It's good to have money to pissaway! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
Not at all. They just take tons of money to fix if they were not properly maintained over the years. If you actually do the maintenance when it’s supposed to be done, it’s not nearly as much. Also, he wasted a lot of money downgrading the engine. That old Volvo is still fully supported with factory parts and is still one of the most common engines in that size of boat, and is far simpler and more reliable. I’m a Cummins fan, but their boat engines just aren’t reliable. So he spent probably $30,000-50,000 to downgrade to a far less reliable engine when the old one could have been freshened up for about $5000 and would have been good for another 40 years. That Cummins is supposed to have the computer ($10,000) replaced every 7-10 years no matter how many hours it has, and most don’t make it 5 years.
@@MrChanw11 I find it strange that people even think about tax. It's not like it's something you actually have to pay, it just means a 50k salary gives you ~42k actual money. Plus you get (what feels like) free money at tax return time! Besides, we're paying for infrastructure and services, so it's not like we're just giving it away.
I love that you are learning the boat life. I have a 38' 1986 Sailboat that is nothing but $$$$$$$$$$ out the window. Welcome to the club buddy:) (I just bought a shirt in solidarity!)
@ 12:00 HOLY (no pun) CRAP!! That would sink your dream in less than an hour! Good catch!! Don't give up! 😃This craft will last many decades after you are done and you are young enough to enjoy it until it is beyond repair.
It’s pretty simple, he didn’t do nearly enough research before he bought the boat. 70% of his costs were downgrading to a less reliable engine from one of the best engines made for that size of boat. I’m pretty sure the marina knew he was clueless and offered him a lowball price on it. The old Volvo is still fully supported with factory parts. And 20% of the cost was fixing the previous owner’s lack of maintenance. If he had the boat surveyed before buying, he would have known what needed fixing and could have gotten a better price, or just bought a boat in better shape. The other 10% is just what it takes to make it your own. Boats really aren’t that expensive to maintain, if you actually do it on time and don’t wait for stuff to break. When my uncle bought his sportfisher, he looked at about a dozen boats, I did basic once overs on them and that cut the list down to 3 boats. He paid for surveys on them and picked the one in the best shape. They were all 40+ years old and over $400,000. The cheapest one was actually the best maintained with zero problems and nothing that needed to be done. One of his top 3, the owner cut the price down more than enough to cover repairs, but my uncle wanted to hit a fishing tournament and it wouldn’t have been ready in time. It’s easy to scam people when it comes to boats, because most people are clueless about what you can’t just see. FYI, I’ve made money on most boats I’ve owned, and made sure they were in perfect shape before I sold them. Surveyors know that if I’m selling one, it is in perfect order and will tell the buyer that.
As an Owner/Operator of a 54' Old Tuna boat converted in to a Live aboard, when you said "All my money is in this baot" I felt that to my core. In just three months I have done over $30k in upgrades and refits. So I will say this; Buckle up buttercup, there is more money to be spent. Most people go all in on a boat not understanding what it will cost, then bail when they realize they are in over thier head. Good luck sir.
Peter. Their is a man who has authority over my future who looks and sounds just like you. I've been watching your videos before I met this person. This is the first time I've watched a video of yours since and now I've got ptsd when I hear your voice lmao.
Hey Peter @6:12 this is called a sacrificial anode. These sacrificial anodes are attached to the metal components of your boat and, because they are made of a metal higher placed in the galvanic series, they attract corrosion and protect against damage. The anodes corrode and not your boat.
I know nothing about boats but I'm finding this project fascinating. I'm amazed at how quickly you figure things out. Hopefully you can recoup some money by selling the fuel tanks and old engine.
You need to take a boat trip. Guessing the Great Loop would be extreme but you have the perfect economical boat for traveling. Cruise back to Ohio or something. Nothing better than loading up the dog and a bud or two and heading off to wherever. Drone footage and RC toys along the way. Big fun.
Hey Peter! Great video as usual. Have you ever thought about building your OWN engine? Maybe not a big one but a model airplane or model Boat engine? Then using it to power one of your boats! It's quite a challenge.
Best part about boat ownership is that you can always sell it for less money than your put into it! 😂

You should put the logo of the merch on the boat! It’s sickkk
Most people would spread this content over 20 videos! Liking your work dude. Keep it up
You're not wrong about those project management skills. The stuff you've been able to pull off over the years has been incredible
This is just the coolest series, and I can't believe how insanely good Peter is at projects like this (with help from enabling friends lol). Eagerly awaiting part 3!
That's what I like about this channel Peter you're never afraid to take on a challenge keep up the good work 😁👍
When you're done with this money sink and are ready for a new one, I'd love to see a working, life sized, replica of Ponyo's boat with the same putt putt engine.
I second this! I think Peter is the best person for this project
You really are an amazing individual, from planes to rc's to boats. Man that engine is huge imagine what you can do with it.
If you don't scuff cured epoxy before attempting to glue down with epoxy based adhesive it will definitely not stay unless it is still at the B stage and still gummy. The blush is like an oil. trust me, I build Jarrett Bay boats for about 9 years now and I am head carpenter on the hull crew.
That depends on the epoxy used, some epoxies don't blush anywhere near as much as others.
YYYOOOOOO!!! the QSB is a great engine. I was in the Navy and trained on them. We used them in our small boats.
Always seeing more stuff like this from Peter frankly blows my mind, especially starting from college and struggling to pay rent to being the Internet personality he is today.
I'm loving the boat series, as a former commercial fishing crewperson and owner of many terrible boats myself, this all looks very familiar 😀
Great T-shirt design. Great episode! Really enjoying the boat repair. These are putting your show on a whole new level.

Old engines not always bad, I have a Gardener 6LW in my boat, nearly 50 years old so only half way to its first strip down. :D
I think that copper plate is not for lightning protection. I think it's for passive corosion protection (frame and plate create a small galvanic couple where more negatively charged electrode get's used up which is mostly Cu and Mg)
No, it is a sintered bronze grounding plate to ground the electronics and protect from lightning.
Please upload more video's I love boat and small home stuff! Really sick to see you do this style of video's!!!!!
Jeez with all those dewalt tools I am amazed you haven't gotten an impact! I reccomend the DCF900 for that tough stuff lol
Nice build! Really inspirational. Going to have to change the engine mounts on my diesel soon. Nice to watch you take the whole engine out lol
Hang in there Peter, boats can be very overwhelmingly expensive and overwhelmingly taxing. Sometimes it feels cheaper and easier to build an entirely new boat. Though I love this series so far, great job!
I priced a new Downeaster and that would be 200K plus for one about the same size 💀
The Cummins 5.9’s are pretty incredible engines so far as HP to weight and reliability go. It’s hard to think of a better engine to put in that kind of boat. I used to have a 40’ wooden salmon troller that was built in 1929 for the navy. It was an awesome old boat but maintenance was a challenge. You are doing fine. I think you will be happy with results.
I'm sure it was a bargain, but it's going to be one huge pit of money and effort to make it 'float'. Regarding taking the prop off, I'm sure it's the same issue as trying to remove an aluminium seat post from a steel bike frame. Bimetallic corrosion; not heat, not oil, not brute force will shift it. Looking forward to see this boat progress.
Don't worry, Peter will make it fly instead to save money :P
Damn that pilot house looks good! Excellent job on that! I hope that Penta got a new home, the old mule deserves it!
Very cool Peter. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!!
Your editing is always fantastic!!
You guys did great getting the engine out. Having spent some time around boat yards I have to say it really wasn't that sketchy.
Man that engine is huge imagine what you can do with it
But can he make it fly 😂
Amazing that you totally used that pipe wrench backwards. Love it😊
This series is defiantly growing on me! I would love to see more episodes
_Defiantly_ growing on you like barnacles? Because this is a good series to cleanse my mind and introduce me to new, tasty building principles and the way to repair a new vehicle to add to my vague recollections for possible futures XD
Peter is the captain now :)
6:08 thats a zink/copper cathode, the idea is that if anything on the boat starts to rust, is that thing.
Obs more important in boats with a lot of steel on them.
Here´s the wikipedia explanation:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection
It's called a sacrificial anode
That is not really how things work. You use zinc or aluminum anodes to protect the submerged metal of your boat. Some boats use bronze or copper grounding plates to create a ground in contact with the ocean. It is unclear if this is a good idea but some boats do it, especially boats with RF equipment like SSB or loran. If you look up dynaplate you will see it is made of sintered bronze and is for grounding purposes, not anodic protection.
@@mckenziekeith7434 oh, didn't know boats needed "extra" grounding.
I saw a rusted piece of metal on the hull and thought "cathode, duh". I will have to look more into grounding plates.
@@BaldBozo No, it is a sintered bronze grounding plate to ground the electronics and protect from lightning.
Is Sam a MechE? Pretty impressive, and being able to put knowledge to real-world use is pretty much any engineers dream!
I think the dynaplate is a sacrificial anode for the hull. Admittedly I am posting this before watching the video all the way through
No it is a sintered bronze grounding plate. Anodes are made of aluminum or zinc.
Nice boat you have there Peter once done she will fly with that engine just make sure you get the right pitch prop or if you have a few bucks spare get an adjustable pitch prop plus stick a bow thruster on her if she already has one I am not sure it will make docking so much easier as you will know after owning a few boats. I can't wait to see your next installment of this boat's improvements so all the best from John from Rugby UK.
That old Volvo diesel is still fully supported with factory parts. It’s one of the most popular work boat engines in the world.
Too late now haha, that sucker is gone. Hopefully he got a decent sale price on it to finance that fancy new one he put in
That may be true, but he's probably doing whatever works for where he sails out of Florida. I'd guess the new engine is better on fuel, but whether that pays for itself at some point is another thing.
@@Nighthawk20000 That’s the problem, I’m wondering if he got taken advantage of. Lots of marina mechanics will take advantage of the clueless. They will sell him on overpriced new stuff that they will have to work on all the time and offer him very little for an engine that can be sold for almost what the new one costs.
@@pauljs75 No, that new one isn’t going to be better on fuel. It’s a smaller engine making more power, it’s not going to get lower gph than that old Volvo. The Volvo is very fuel efficient, and that’s why there are thousands of them still being used today. A lot of them in boats that are far newer than the engine. That new engine is going to burn more fuel at a higher rpm, and be nowhere as reliable or easy to maintain. That was one heck of a downgrade to the boat.
@@adamr9215 Smaller? is a Cummins 5.9, the Volvo was 5.4L... Also the Volvo as a older engine must have precombustion chamber, while this Cummins have direct electronic injection which increases a lot the fuel efficiency.
@PeterSripol Someone should buy him one of those new boat propellers. Testing led by the company BoatTEST found that the Sharrow Propeller was up to 30% more efficient than a standard blade propeller.
Planes only have to stay in the air while you're flying them. Boats have to stay water tight all the time 😂
Great video, the hard work you're doing isn't lost on me. Very entertaining, and I love the new shirts, just bought one. Thanks Peter!
I have heard that boats take a tonne of money to maintain, you seem to be confirming that nicely.
Boats are holes in the water you poor money into, ... just like airplanes are holes in the sky you throw your money into, and let's not forget cars are holes in the roads that we throw are money in! It's good to have money to pissaway! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
@@TinyHouseHomestead That's how I feel about paying my taxes
Not at all. They just take tons of money to fix if they were not properly maintained over the years. If you actually do the maintenance when it’s supposed to be done, it’s not nearly as much. Also, he wasted a lot of money downgrading the engine. That old Volvo is still fully supported with factory parts and is still one of the most common engines in that size of boat, and is far simpler and more reliable. I’m a Cummins fan, but their boat engines just aren’t reliable. So he spent probably $30,000-50,000 to downgrade to a far less reliable engine when the old one could have been freshened up for about $5000 and would have been good for another 40 years. That Cummins is supposed to have the computer ($10,000) replaced every 7-10 years no matter how many hours it has, and most don’t make it 5 years.
@@MrChanw11 I find it strange that people even think about tax. It's not like it's something you actually have to pay, it just means a 50k salary gives you ~42k actual money. Plus you get (what feels like) free money at tax return time! Besides, we're paying for infrastructure and services, so it's not like we're just giving it away.
@@MrChanw11 Ooooooo, done get me started on "TAXES"! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
I've been trying to figure out how to get my motor out and this has been super helpful. That shirt is dooope!
Peter make a 3D printed 3 foot version of your lobster boat
I love that you are learning the boat life. I have a 38' 1986 Sailboat that is nothing but $$$$$$$$$$ out the window. Welcome to the club buddy:) (I just bought a shirt in solidarity!)
Você é fera, gostaria que fizesse uma pipa motorizada. . . De controle remoto.
You really are an amazing individual, from planes to rc's to boats. That engine removal looked pretty solid all things considered.
Any boat is a money pit. I know, I’ve owned many boats for 40 years. That’s just life.
@ 12:00 HOLY (no pun) CRAP!! That would sink your dream in less than an hour! Good catch!!
Don't give up! 😃This craft will last many decades after you are done and you are young enough to enjoy it until it is beyond repair.
The two best days of a boat owners life. The day the buy it, and the day they sell it
Big job you took on! Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Glad Sam could help and Ruthie gets 👍👍
“A boat is a hole in the water in which one pours his money”
-my dad
But seriously these things should not be this expensive. Best of luck Peter!
It’s pretty simple, he didn’t do nearly enough research before he bought the boat. 70% of his costs were downgrading to a less reliable engine from one of the best engines made for that size of boat. I’m pretty sure the marina knew he was clueless and offered him a lowball price on it. The old Volvo is still fully supported with factory parts. And 20% of the cost was fixing the previous owner’s lack of maintenance. If he had the boat surveyed before buying, he would have known what needed fixing and could have gotten a better price, or just bought a boat in better shape. The other 10% is just what it takes to make it your own. Boats really aren’t that expensive to maintain, if you actually do it on time and don’t wait for stuff to break. When my uncle bought his sportfisher, he looked at about a dozen boats, I did basic once overs on them and that cut the list down to 3 boats. He paid for surveys on them and picked the one in the best shape. They were all 40+ years old and over $400,000. The cheapest one was actually the best maintained with zero problems and nothing that needed to be done. One of his top 3, the owner cut the price down more than enough to cover repairs, but my uncle wanted to hit a fishing tournament and it wouldn’t have been ready in time. It’s easy to scam people when it comes to boats, because most people are clueless about what you can’t just see.
FYI, I’ve made money on most boats I’ve owned, and made sure they were in perfect shape before I sold them. Surveyors know that if I’m selling one, it is in perfect order and will tell the buyer that.
Awesome build. This kid is an inspiration to his generation

As an Owner/Operator of a 54' Old Tuna boat converted in to a Live aboard, when you said "All my money is in this baot" I felt that to my core. In just three months I have done over $30k in upgrades and refits. So I will say this; Buckle up buttercup, there is more money to be spent. Most people go all in on a boat not understanding what it will cost, then bail when they realize they are in over thier head. Good luck sir.
That solid bronze prop shaft is super cool. Hopefully you kept that for scrap.
It kinda looks like he could have slid it all out on one piece if he just unbolted everything from the gearbox to prop. 😅
@@dalel3608 But at the same time, he used the cut end to push/hammer on, so it would have been much more difficult without cutting it.
No joke those windows change the whole vibe and I love it
Peter. Their is a man who has authority over my future who looks and sounds just like you. I've been watching your videos before I met this person. This is the first time I've watched a video of yours since and now I've got ptsd when I hear your voice lmao.
That random piece of metal you removed (dyna plate) was the sacrificial anode. It's required to stop corrosion.
No, it is a sintered bronze grounding plate to ground the electronics and protect from lightning.
Hey Peter @6:12 this is called a sacrificial anode.
These sacrificial anodes are attached to the metal components of your boat and, because they are made of a metal higher placed in the galvanic series, they attract corrosion and protect against damage. The anodes corrode and not your boat.
No, it is a sintered bronze grounding plate to ground the electronics and protect from lightning.
I know nothing about boats but I'm finding this project fascinating. I'm amazed at how quickly you figure things out. Hopefully you can recoup some money by selling the fuel tanks and old engine.
Man, this is one epic project! Kudos for that! Love it! And it's actually Billy Joel's "Downeaster Alexa" that brought me here.
The Engine extraction was impressive!
Hey Peter and Sam, back at the boat again, nice! And Ruthy as well 🙂
You need to take a boat trip. Guessing the Great Loop would be extreme but you have the perfect economical boat for traveling. Cruise back to Ohio or something. Nothing better than loading up the dog and a bud or two and heading off to wherever. Drone footage and RC toys along the way. Big fun.
I’m local to where the boat was used! Glad to see it will get saved!! Bravo 🎉
Hey Peter! Great video as usual. Have you ever thought about building your OWN engine? Maybe not a big one but a model airplane or model Boat engine? Then using it to power one of your boats! It's quite a challenge.
