FREE 1960's Boat with 90hp Evinrude WILL IT RUN?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- I found 4 boats for free on CL and this 1965 Larson Runabout was the nicest of them. I'm told she ran great when parked so lets see if that holds to be the truth!
UPDATE: THE BOAT HAS SOLD. You may see this flaming blue beauty cruising out on the Delaware River sometime. The new owner lives down near Marcus Hook
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

"i get bored of things........except Jen"......good save Chris 😂😂😂😂
@Lookup2Wakeup saved by quick thinking 😂
Cut that on close lol 😂
Va bnñngñO@Lookup2Wakeup
I love the mix of things you save! Boats, trucks, cars, Jeeps, etc. The variety is awesome!
What about the fury wagon what's the price tag on that
Me too!
Same! 👍🏻
Bees also
Yeah. And hey! Its only 4pm! Lets pack-up and go ride a jetsky! :D
Your statement about good neighbors is so true and so important. We always say that we won the neighbor lottery where we live. Incredibly great people and we all help each other whenever we can!
G,day Chris from Sydney Australia.
Great instructional video on replacing; the
* cylinder head and gasket
* supply 12v straight to starter
* check the prop shaft gear oil
* replace the gas pump
* connect nav lights
🌏🇭🇲
Those shirts are dope. I want one!
Loving these boat projects btw. You’re a stand up kinda dude and it’s fun watching you and Jenn in y’all’s adventures. Keep ‘em coming
For sure!
Instead of hanging out at the bar or watching TV, playing video games, etc this guy occupied his time in life tinkering and learning. Now he can fix anything. How I wish kids today would embrace a hands on approach to life like this.
Man I loved the wasp eradication Chris, that was borderline brilliant
I love watching your boat revivals and your time with Jenn! She should have her own channel where she sings! Amazing voice😊
Jen does have her own channel “Jennifer Sugint”, she does mostly home repairs, fixes.. she is quite the woman, not afraid to fix anything… she just did a video patching up the old concrete stairs on her house
Thanks, Jeff! And also thanks for the shout out @mwolrich definitely want to add more singing in the future ❤
@@mwolrich Oh wow, thanks!
@@jennifersugint thank you for the great channel, the best video so far is moving the shed, and when you learned to solder copper pipes.. watching you move the shed was a hoot 😂👍 love all the old TV show references/themes as well. you go girl👍
@@jennifersugint That sounds great Jenn!
"BEST neighbor ever". I had them also because I was always able to help them with their automobiles and household repairs...That's how it works !
👍
I love how u wing it when it comes to lights, registration, title, gas tank, gas, etc. Another great video.
My wife and I owned one like this a 65 Larson Lapline, white with an olive green stripe, and green seats. It had a Mercury Straight Six Cylinder 100 HP. I adored that boat and we called it our "Happy Boat"....many great memories of boating on the Mississippi.
Another phenomenal vid, Chris! Love anything you and Miss Jenn and Gus and Turbo bring us ! Grea t content, from a great young American couple! So much fun. And like others have said, I love the mix of content, and but especially the boat stuff! My Grandpa worked for Johnson Motors for close to 40 years, and so I grew up with all this kind of stuff. That's an Evinrude Motor for sure. OMC (Outboard Marine Corporation) made Inboard / Outboard Motors, and the Cobra was their foray into that World. They could never quite nail it down like Mercruiser. Always chasing. The Cobras were getting good though, before OMC started to crash. But they made some of the best outboard motors in the World, with the tried and true Johnsons and Evinrudes. Great motors, and the V4 was awesome! So wide compared to the tall Mercs. OMC also made the Sea-Drives.... a kinda weird out-drive... not really outboard... not really inboard / outboard. A weird looking thing, and I don't think they ever quite got them right either. But you can't go wrong with an ole' Evinrude or Johnson! I'm with others.... the boat is whatever. But you got something great in that motor - for free! Very distinctive sound when you hear an Evinrude or Johnson cranking. I grew up with that great sound! Also - VRO is basically what you said.... Variated Ratio Oil Injection. The first few years OMC did id... it was not good. Not reliable. It got better for sure. But you can't beat he old gas/oil mix. You're safe to got that way until you can get your arms around that VRO system, and be sure it's working. or maybe just keep it bypassed. I'd put that motor on another boat.
Jen “Is there a duck onboard”. 😂 Chris “You’re holding it backwards”. Like the mic and radio worked 😂. Sometimes it’s the little things that amuse me. You have great neighbors but you two are the coolest. I have a feeling if you were my neighbor I’d be over there drinking your beer all the time. 500 BUCKS! That is a smoke’n deal folks, someone nearby better snag it up. Even if you only get one season’s worth of use out of it, you can’t rent one that cheap.
Hahah it’s the little things that amuse me as well 😂. Cheers enjoy your weekend 🍺
LOVE your can-do attitude Chris... You are One of a Kind man 👍👍👍
Love the "Junky Boat" vids. Nice work.
Great video Chris! I thought that boat was going to leave you and Jen stranded at first. I like Downstater ADV’s humor. He’s got good content on his channel as well.
I love this boat and engine. the problem with it for your channel is you wont have enough problems with it. this is probably a great skier too.
The shop I've been at for 2 years now doesn't require coveralls but I've just worn mine for that duration because it's what I've got. Wouldn't mind a couple work shirts to pair with some Carhartt pants. Might be cooler in the warmer months. Think it would be a neat idea to spread the nnkh brand too! Always referencing your videos whenever someone wants a good video on how to do something efficiently but properly too!
Like your style with the emory clothe. I did some work at a sandpaper company 20 years ago and found a lot of cut offs in the dumpster. I'm still using what I found. Informative video, nice job.
I wish i lived in the area, i recently retired from the USCG (26 years, 6 ships) and that looks like a project right up my alley, nice job, your videos are top notch and the way you explain, makes you a great teacher. Speaking of the USCG, You should ask for a tour of the USCGC CLEAT next time you see her, you'd get a kick out of the Engine room and Main Control.
I agree with you on wasps being the worst. Had a huge hive in my bedroom wall that broke through Thursday night at 8 o clock and it took until midnight until they were all dealt with. Then I cleaned the room up and Today got rid off the remnants of the nest and patched the drywall. Now I’m gonna be able to sleep in my room again peacefully without hearing them in my walls. Heard them for a while and been trying to get rid of them but since they got into my bedroom wall I had to take action
We had a Larson 17ft in the 60s. Evinrude 40hp motor (biggest they had at the time) in MN. Those I think are new seats. We had fiberglass seats bench in the front and 2 in the back. Lots of changes.
Also I lived in Burlington NJ for 8 yrs.
Evenrude and Johnson were high quality dependable outboards. Top shelf, back in the day.
I've been restoring my 16ft 1967 Microplus here in the UK Its good to you still respect the older Fun Boats like I do !! , Keep on boating Bro ,
That’s exactly the fresh breath I needed while busy restoring my 1965 Crestliner Chieftain thx bro 🙏🏻
I had a 115hp the same era. That sound brings back some great memories. Chris keep doing what you do and we will watch. All the best!
The E in the model number stands for Evinrude. Also the VRO tanks for those motors were like a mini fuel tank outside the motor with a primer ball. They were always deleted because they failed. I have to say your brave for a quick dump in the river but i highly recommend a little kicker motor even a trolling motor to save the paddling or swimming back to the ramp 🤣
Thanks!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow .. i added more the longer i watched.. i love your videos
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Evinrude is and was a division of OMC, so OMC badged controls are not a surprise or a mismatch.
I did this a lot and just made sure to have a paddle and go in the right direction to be able to drift back, up current or up wind or both. Though when wind is fighting current, one must experiment to find drift direction.
Wonderful Format Chris! Your Wasp Removal Technique is Genius! Keep up the Excellent variety!
I look forward to every single video you release, and the boat ones make it even more exciting lol. Would love to get my hands on those shirts too, highly suggest adding to store!
Great drone shots, really enjoyable video. Well done.
I once owned a 16' 1959 Luger Le Continental with original McColloch Royal Scott 40 and trailer. Bought it in 2003 at a farm auction in Minnesota for $100. What a joy it was to restore and enjoy that old runabout. It's retro look turned a lot of heads on the lake. Unfortunately, I later moved out of state, leaving the boat with a neighbor, who stored it in his barn. Having every intention to retrieve it, time simply passed and I later learned that he had traded the boat with another neighbor...for a shotgun. Perhaps one day I'll try to track it down and buy it back. The old outboards may be work, but they are simple and manageable. Happy boating to the luck and hopefully mechanically inclined buyer!!
That old girl moves right along. Sounds good!
I’m not a boat guy, however I enjoy all of your videos…learn something new every time! Good work Chris!
Love ur laugh Jen
I had an old 100hp Johnson, basically same thing you have on that boat. Great engines when dialed in, and very durable. Loved hearing that sound again and I think I could smell the two stroke smoke through the screen. Great video!
Hi Chris, you made me remember my parts manager days at an AMC /Jeep dealership when you said RFN14LY plugs. We sold a ton of them when there were actual tune ups done on vehicles. John from Cape Cod
You can be cool, but you’ll never be as cool as Chris driving the Junky Jeep around. You’re the best dude.
Balls of steel, doesn't even sort out the navigation lights until after dinner way down the river then putts in on fumes, absolute legend.
With that blue smoke, you probably knocked a year off Gretta Tunbergs life !
I heard that she's gone total non fossil fuel everything and is still trying to get a spinning wheel and some sheep before winter sets in. She did get some hide from a road kill and she's at least DIY'd some sandals. She's hunkered down by the river so she'll have access to drinking water.
Even a cameo by Gus, adds to the adventure ! Great video. TIMBO
You guys are so lucky to have a beautiful view of sunsets
The Stick
It's crazy to see for sure how someone will adapt this or that. This 'stick' mount did remind me of the Merc Marquis '02 model I had back a year or two ago. The heater/defrost was inoperable when I purchased it, used of course. So I had a shop do the dirty task of getting to the repair of the blend door, no easy nor inexpensive job to say the least.
When I went to pay the invoice the guy that did the job had left the part he removed for me to inspect.
Crazy as it seemed then, somewhere along the way someone had decided that being the blend door wouldn't close when not warranted that a stick [ piece/block ] of wood would be just what was conviently at hand as a workable solution in shutting off the flow of heat, permantly. In Arizona not an issue 'cept in winter mornings.
What is ironic is where that make shift block of wood had to be placed, how in heaven's name that was done, I can't fathom. Chris I'm sure you are likely aware of where this blend door is located up under the dashboard and why not order the part if you've gone that far to DIY this job, quite the mystery.
It's possible the job of rigging the blend door with that block of wood, which was glued in place, could be managed without removing the dash. If I recall correctly, the job performed correctly did require removing the dash, at least the invoice seemed to tell me that when I left a chunk of my week's wage with the cashier.
At 63 years of age, retired with a part time 'C' store job and not in the best of physical condition, I had little serious thought of trying to DI'Myself.
I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm from the Levittown area so it's nice seeing areas I'm familiar with and I love watching these kind of channels.
Good engines, on a cold start, when looking at the remote control, there is a black little lever, raise that up, it will advance the timing and throttle for cold starting. turn the key once, push in, turn it again and hold it, it will start very fast. The thing you removed was the VRO pump. Basically an auto oiler mixer. Fuel pumps on those are the way to go.
37:43 what?!?!? The greatest tv show of all time reference! 👌🏽
I agree. My number one favorite of all time.
Had a 90 VRO with VRO delete on a ssssslick barracuda lake ski boat. I loved that motor! Fuel HOG but loads and loads of fun
I’m pretty sure I had the exact same model boat at one time, every detail of that hull looked the same. Mine had a 65 hp Johnson. I’m wanting to get back into boats, but I have a yard full of atv’s and side by sides to get going and sell first.
That Honda VTEC outboard actually has a J series V6 in it straight out of a Honda Odyssey, The smaller ones (150hp) actually use a K series from an Accord. I believe some of the smaller ones in the hundred horsepower range used the old single overhead cam Civic engines.
Two massive vids from you and Jen! Doesn’t get much better than this
Can’t lie , these boat videos are awesome keep them coming 🙋♂️
Evinrude/Johnson is OMC...but that 90 horse is from the 1980s.
Big upgrade
Love the boat videos my guy! I definitely like the variety of things you work on that you put on your channel. 🤙
Glad you like them! And thanks
@@NoNonsenseKnowHowhey man I have a question I have a 2012 Hyundai Elantra and it cuts out quite a bit falls on his face mostly when you get a gas taken off and I'm feeling it could be the fuel pump and I tested all the injectors and coil packs which they're on the you know wires but I pulled each one off and never change never you know you can tell they were working in other words it would cut down and put it back up when I put them all back on one at a time but would you lean toward a fuel pump I mean it's only 105 bucks online RockAuto and I'm going to change fuel filter too just in case which change the pump I understand that but would you lean toward the fuel pump just asking for your opinion I already had another guy but he gave me a list of things that could be and on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra I would put that kind of money in it lol
@@Scottb92768 yo man check fuel lines inside tank, i had one customer once who had weird problems and line in tank was bad coming off pump
e: dont know how big job its on that car tho, if under seat should be easy
I am a boat 25 plus years. What is crazy is I built that malibu echelon sitting right beside your boat. She was built in loudon Tennessee..lol I can't believe that. I worked at malibu for 15 years and left and I have been at mastercraft, hydra sports for over 13 years now..😊 I started my boat building career at sea ray for 3 years.
i always wondered about your neighbor with all the drilling, sawing, and motor noise that goes on, you have just answer my question, Good neighbor !!
You have to hold the primer bulb with one end vertical for the check valve to work. The end nearest to the engine should be pointing up
Thanks
Man brother, I’m impressed! Talent! I used to watched those vids….when you go to house to house fixing people’s cars.
Thrifty mechanical genius. All American guy, like a national treasure. Great work and great vids!
Those were great motors back in the day. Hard to kill. Rebuild the carbs and it just runs. And ya it exhausts through those two little ports with water no worries there. Nice boat 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video today Chris. My kids were cracking up when they heard you guys mention about the "Duck on board".. funny as heck....that's the term we use at our house. Lol😂❤😂
Thread chasers! My best purchase ever! I hate it when people clean out threads with a tap/die. Nice job Chris!!
Love the boat videos! Thanks for another banger! Best quote: Downstater " I'll shut up i swear" lol. I remember reading some of those comments, they were brutal.
Brother, I’m proud of you salvaging that Emory cloth in true hoarder fashion. It’s totally what I would do. I have the same ADD project compulsion. Love your work bro👍🏻
What a save. Great job getting it working. I like all your videos. Keep up the great job
What a fun and cool little boat! You are pretty lucky finding these deals around your place! Great video, very entertaining! 👌
When you have a rough running multi-cylinder 2-stroke engine, and one cylinder looks lean (or rich) while and others do not, and you seemed to have checked every possibility, it's time to suspect the labyrinth seals on the crankshaft, wish isolate the individual crank areas. Seems like yours cleared up pretty well, though. Fun video!
I pass this boat every day, took a pic on July 17, 2024. Thought it was strange the flames go both ways. This was at least a month before I discovered this YT channel. Funny, was watching this episode and thought, thats wild, I've seen this boat before.
That's really cool. Hopefully he's getting use out of it
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow sent you IG DM with pic
You really can't walk past a propeller and not try to spin it. Even after cutting yourself the first time
if im not mistaken I think 2 stroke 4 cyls run on 2 at idle. Not a bad rig for free, Chris! nice little piddle around boat.
Those boats were really nice looking. Chicky-Boon likes the boat too
Growing up, my grandad had a 1960's StarCraft Viscount runabout, 16ft aluminum hull, with a Johnson 90hp outboard. Fuel tanks were two standard 5gal Johnson tanks, kept in the stern.
One word of caution. My grandad had some civil engineer training, and he was concerned that if the motor got knocked into reverse, at speed, that it could potentially rip the stern off the boat. He ended up adding two rather large aluminum gussets, at 45's, to the transom. Basically corner braces.
He also added oarlocks and carried some longass oars so we could row to shore in case of a motor failure.
Boat was used out on Lake Michigan, generally perch fishing, but it had plenty of ass to pull someone on skis. Good times.
Good luck with the repairs. It's a handy size boat to have, easy to maintain.
I am so envious of you with that jeep! You have to put some time and money into it!
Yes Chris you do have amazing neighbours !! ;) Mind you if I lived next door - I'd be around every day, to be doing all the great fun work with you !!!
You probably know, but if you put the bar that controls the engine trim in the next notch up to bring the front end of the boat up more at wot it might go a little faster. Seems like a 90 might go about 40 trimmed just right. Another fun video to watch.
Yes that's a good point. I didn't mess with the mechanical trim. Should have gave it a go.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow V4 evinrudes and Johnsons of that era went up to 140 with usually the main difference being mufflers and jets, so the 90s are quieter. I think mufflers make a bigger difference on 2 strokes.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow The check balls on the boat squeeze bulbs don't always close with just air to push them closed. One way to get them to close is to release the bulb very quickly and another is to turn it vertical so you are pumping the fuel up. That way gravity helps the air close the check ball.
I love the flames and that's a cool motor, I think its worth a remodel and would make a good little fishing boat and for being small I bet it could handle a big river, has good height and depth for being small!👍
I always love when you take on another boat!!!! The variety of things always makes it so much exciting. Was enjoying the e-bike binge spree, the trails are great to see.
Another great boat video. I love your ‘let’s just make it work’ approach! If I didn’t already have my own boat project, I’d totally come buy this one for the hell of it 😃😃
Always love your vids Chris! Your a genius!
Best neighbor ever, indeed. "...has allowed me to expand over here...." ... Oh man that is hillarious!! Well done Sir!
If I had done that in front of the coast guard I definitely would have gotten a ticket and a complete comprehensive seaworthiness inspection, might not have ended in handcuffs but still expensive
I am a drone pilot here in texas and love how you use your drone for these epic shots. love the videos and i follow all your and jens channels. Best channels and best people on youtube!
Jen is such a good sport. I had a 69 evinrude v4 60 hp. It ran great when it decided to. It had a completely different carb set up on it though.
Loved this vid. Your mix of good old boy how to and editing is so appealing. Great to see DOWNSTADER read the comments! Personal Growth baby! 😅
You need to lift the throttle handle to start it. Under the shift handle there is a throttle handle that allows you to basically pump the pedal when you're starting it. Also push in the key to choke the motor. Depending on year pushing the key in is either choke or it'll squirt fuel into the carbs.
Evinrude and Johnson boat motors were made by OMC. Outbound Marine Corporation, up until the early 2000s when they were bought by BRP Bombardier Recreational Products
Hey keep up the great work everyone loves your videos
Thanks! Will do!
True That
When Jen got on the CB to call for help, I thought that you were going to play the part of Quint from Jaws and start smashing it. Lol Fun video, thanks.
love this show....I just bought a /70's boat ...seems to run good...haven't had it on the water yet....wish you were here....lol
OMC built both Evinrude and Johnson outboards.
Pretty reliable mechanically, but electronics could be buggy and expensive to replace.
You always have unique tidbits and I appreciate that, like dealing withthe waps...Love the channel
Those engines are very reliable. My father fished on lake Superior for many years with a very similar 2 cycle Johnson outboard.
I love it! Your skills never cease to amaze me. Your videos are so enjoyable and your attitude towards the issues you encounter are admirable.
Another great episode! Well done 😊
Thanks again!
Hey Chris, love your channel. I enjoy learning from your content and apply it to what I do. Thanks for the knowledge!
Those V4’s are a brilliant engine if you maintain them properly. They do run better on premix without the oiler.
Good to see the Admiral out with you as well.
Good to see the XLR hanging out Motorcycle content is how I stumbled on your page
You are both great together!
Bit of the old Smokestack lightnin playing in the background👍. Essential part of working in the shed is decent tunes🎸
I bought a boat earlier this summer with a Johnson 140 boat needed some tlc and needed to be timed. 🤦🏾♂️ I bought it without hearing it run. Anyways found a guy with a small shop that’s hopefully going to get it timed for me but he’s taking forever. So I got a deal on a I/O for $500 with a running 4.3 merc. So far so good. All I had to do is put a kill switch on it so far.
I always end up wanting a cheap boat after I watch these videos... Also, you know soooo much history of your area! I love how you rattle stuff off, off the top of your head. Its what makes your channel special. And Jen. Jen always adds some elegance and flair. Oh and her vid on the concrete stairs was the bomb. You two have become my favorite watch on the old YT.
Seems like those old motors with no power tilt/trim had 3 or 4 holes you could move a bar and adjust it manually. Of course it was always in the same place so you had to get the best position for hole shot and speed.
