A good few have asked about a Boat Rescue, it was time we attempted one! This is the first time I've had my hands on a boat in over a year, since I left my job as a boat mechanic! I purchased this one from an estate a while back and figured it would be fun to have some other great fellas join in! I really hope you all enjoy! Thank you all, as always, for the love and support!

Sorry about all my corny Dad jokes but thanks for having me!
That’s the fun part! 🤣😂
Excellent joke Rev :) got one for you what did Spark plug say to the Spark Wire ? Spark Plug said Spark Plug Wire we going have a big lock snapping of time tonight and anytime also don't fail now !
Hi, would You provide the link for the carb cleaning video?
The tree blowing in the wind was hilarious!
🤪🤪
I thought so too 🤣
at 29:00, the boat's flying...and the view of that shredded, beat-up chair is the perfect summary of a cool project
Such a fun time. Thanks for letting me tag along!
Most definitely! It was a great time!
Great video. Thank you for this and Revstoration's video on how this motor was revived. Look forward to seeing how the boat gets cleaned up next.
Budget Build in 2031: Will this forgotten space shuttle fly after 20 years?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😁😁 You know it!!
Wow that Yamaha didn't need too much after 18 years - not too bad! Pretty cool to see that old boat up on plane again. I'd definitely like to see the rest of the boat get restored as well!
Good ole Yamaha! Thanks! Can’t wait to share more!
I like how he went through the motor taking it one step at a time, impressive.
Man oh Man my favorites on the same show Ole Rev and Budget Buildz. the channels I watch to relax. Amen to this.
Good video, Yamaha make great outboards … we use them on our diving support vessel .. the only thing I would had done differently, would be pulling the air intake cover just in case those pesky mice had been in there, before cranking, to avoid getting crap sucked through the reeds .. the engine was really on song .. good job 👍🏻
Yes! A follow up.. I follow all these channels. Thanks Budget Buildz!
I bought a 45 year old boat off craigslist for a grand. It was in awful shape. I wet sanded the entire boat and waxed and buffed to a mirror shine. I tore out the old carpet and seats and glued new carpet and put new fabric on all of the seats. I made a new bimini and fitted top on my sewing machine. I rewired everything and then rebuilt both carbs, rebuilt the fuel pump, new water pump and resealed the lower unit, and then repainted the motor 85 evinrude. The boat looks brand new. I did some research a discovered that only 50 of this boat was ever made. I've had several people offer me as high as $25k for it. But I'll never sell it, it's always the talk of the dock. It's the first boat I've ever done and I learned everything watching videos like yours. Thank you! I got my dream boat for a grand and 1100 in new parts.
Nice work!! Can’t wait to see it cleaned up!!
She sounds healthy. Can’t believe she floats after all them years of sitting. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Thanks so much as always!! Can’t wait to get the boat dialed in as nice as the motor 😊
@@BudgetBuildz You’re welcome and yep can’t wait to see it as well 👍🏻
@@BudgetBuildz what did u do with the boat ?
I will bet Rev brought his tackle box looking to do the first week testing. Hank barely needed his left handed metric crescent wrench. Nice.
Headed over to hanks channel to check it out! That weed still being there is HILARIOUS! hahahaha. Great video.
Can't wait for the full restoration of the boat. Great job guys.
Thanks so much! We’re in the process of getting it knocked out!
Nice project! Note that if you have loose stuff within the boat when going 40mph, it might fly over the side :)
I always enjoy the ...Yu-hu-huuu of rev.Dave. Love to see you guys having fun together bringing "dead" things to life. Yu-hu-huuuu.....😃
Love that you took it from sitting to ripping with the vegetation and all. Made me laugh can't wait for the full detail vidya. Nice work men
😁😁😁 Can’t wait to share, I think the ole gal will surprise! Thank you 😃
I sure miss my 17' Boston Whaler with a 15hp Honda Trolling Motor & 65hp Mercury Outboard...
Trolling the South Puget Sound with my Brother was the best of times 8years ago. We may have caught fish, but we had a grand time!
GREAT VID CAN`T WAIT TO SEE HER ALL DONE UP AND LOOKING GOOD!!!!
You guys did a wonderful job on that old boat. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up!
Thank you! Can’t wait to get it all cleaned up!
@@BudgetBuildz Did you ever get it all cleaned up?
I love how y’all are ripping around a lake in a boat with plants growing in it. 🤣
Thank you for this beautiful restoration. For me in France it would be a dream to come across this type of boat. Looking forward Pierre 👍🛥️
Brilliant fun. Engine came round quick for one that’s sat 18 years
Thanks! 😃😃 Good ole Yamaha 2 stroke 👌
That’s the Beaty of old two bangers. A little bit of love and they’re going to go forever!.
I used to own a Boston whaler with that exact motor on it man when you fire that thing up it brought back a whole Lotta of memories I always loved Yamaha motors and it sounded fantastic when you opened it up way to go guys 👍🏼
you did an amazing job there, brought that beauty back to life.
Michael, Your timing is crazy... I am literally getting ready to go get a rescue boat.... Enjoyed this one....Keep it up bud
😃😃 awesome!! Thank you, glad you enjoyed 👌
Found it hilarious that there are bushes growing in your boat.... classic!
Minus the rats nest, that Yamaha was super clean. That’s surprising considering how long it has been sitting.
My best friend and I have had a 1976 Charge deck boat that we have intended to restore for 4+years. Your video inspires me to actual get something done. Have you ever repaired stringers?
Waay Too Cool💯🤙🏻 My Favorite Part Was The Weed Still Growing And Having Fun With You Guys😁😆 Love It!!
Those v4 & v6 carb'd yamaha's are some of the most bulletproof motors ever made...I've had a couple over the years & they've been nothing but perfect.
That's something different, completely cool though,good to see Hank on the channel 😁,great video, can't wait to see the full detail of the boat 🤙🏻
We love anything mechanical! 😃 Thank you! Can’t wait!
I was picking up an old sewing machine and while out behind the house I saw the tip of a boat and trailer poking out of a bunch of brush. It was an Arkansas Traveler 14’ runabout. Very cool little lapstrake hull design, but the interior was destroyed. After the owner telling me if I could get it out of there I could have it, I went to work trying to get it out. Evidently, bees like boats, lol. A LOT of bees living in there after sitting there for over 30 years along with the probably 10 generation mice. The vintage Evinrude was destroyed by mouse urine so I found an old Mercury Classic 50 to match up the horsepower. After fully restoring the whole thing, I had myself a BEAUTIFUL little vintage runabout that grabbed attention everywhere I took it. I think my favorite thing about it was that early 1960’s turquoise and white steering wheel and the cool chrome part designs all around the boat. Very cool and a lot of fun.
I restored a very similar boat, got a season out of it, one day I was heading home and hit a wave and the fiberglass cracked in the back and it sank quick. Super scary almost died, careful with old sitting boats, even if you don’t see any dry rot
Watch you and the Rev all the time!
Man that was awesome.Im refurbing a 2000 Hydra Sport 18cc. 115 Jonny on the back. Powdersville here ! 18 mile is a beautiful area.
Love that hull shape. Great little bay boat🎥😎👍
Well Done Video You All 3 guys did excellent work on Boat plus motor too also enjoy your all team work work too!
I love this all family friendly channels thanks guys
This is good stuff, and I love that sparkplug joke - I’m gonna steal it. So we need more videos from you guys. This one is a year ago.
How Awesome was that! Cool Ride along, now ya gotta fix it up!
20:22. "Crescent wrench". " Crescent" was one of the brands of tools made by the Cooper Group. Their adjustable wrenches were famous worldwide. Some of their other brands were Lufkin measuring tapes, Nicholson files, Weller soldering irons, Xcelite mechanic tools among others. Trinidad & Tobago.
Good job on that motor! Great video too. I grew up camping at Mile Creek. Cool to see someone representing upstate SC.
Very cool. Owned a McKee for years. Best boats ever made. Unsinkable
Love the Aussie 🇦🇺 brand, Kincrome screwdriver you have at (8:50)
Keep up the great work!
Great video
I love trying to bring back a old solid boat. Can’t wait to see the clean up and repairs
Thanks
Love the fact that the weeds and plants were left inside as youre tearing up the lake. lol
Cool old boat great video enjoy watching keep the great work
Impressed by your working knowledge of the Yamaha
My uncle used to have an old McKee Craft just like that but with a 90 Johnson on the back. Man we tore up black river on that thing. Learned how to kneeboard behind it. Good memories. Just found your channel, definitely subbed! I knew I recognized that SC accent anywhere 😂 Shout out from Myrtle Beach! 🤙
I think that is AWESOME how you guys made that run like new! How much you want for it haha!
Didn't realize you were in the upstate! I'm over in the Norris area myself. I was at mile creek a couple weeks ago. Nice boat, I need to find me one like that.
Love the vegetation flopping in the wind!
I want to get into my first restoration project so UA-cam I went. I’ve already learned a lot thx to your videos! Thank you! Keep up the cool content!
Awesome!! Thanks so much! Sorry it’s taken so long to get the full rebuild uploaded. We’ve gotten the new transom in and will have an update on it very soon!
Dang it, I've just noticed the logo on your t-shirt says BooB, and now I can't un-see it =;-)) Nice boat, lovely motor, sweet ride. Well done Michael.
the best part of this is going 33 mph on the lake with a live tree growing in the boat. Nice work guys.
Mind boggling why someone would just let a beauty like that just sit and rot away! Can't beat a Yamaha! Can't wait to see that baby in it's new tux! Oh yeah, and whatever became of the Hilux? I've been looking for one like that to restore! Had one years,ago identical to the one you got, same color and all! Loved that little truck! Love to find another one! Kudos men! Watched all 3 of your boat vids!
that ole 150 sounds good. could use a little more horse power with all three of you in it. install the complete intake and carbs from a 200hp. its a bolt on and will increase the hp. it will run almost like a 200hp. exhaust ports and compression holds it back from being a 200.
YOUR IN MY BACKYARD..I CANNOT BELEIVE IT.....THE WEED BLOWING WAS FUNNY....I LIVE ACROSS THE LAKE ON CROOKED CRK....
That's a nice boat I had a bowrider just like that but that thing needs a good cleaning but it's got a good engine on it so you gotta great start.
I love a McKee craft! My buddy had one a little smaller than yours I weigh 300 lb and I could stand on the corner of it and fish no lean no list a great fishing platform great boat
love that sound of the boat
This is awesome! Keep it up guys
Friend had one & got to the Mangrove Snapper holes , as good as my 15' Sport Whaler. Solid Boat .
Hanks voice on a boat video just takes some getting use to! Great video guys!
The shrubbery blowing in the wind was a great touch, I’m sure other boaters thought you were nuts
Bro I’m actually Vibing with this video I’m restoring a 1978 thunderbird
It never freaking fails. Same thing with my boat it starts on a dime sitting in the damn driveway you put it in the lake and it turns and turns in charge it’s just absolutely insane
Bahaha right 😂 They’re so different with backpressure sometimes!
Phenomenal jobs guys 💪😁
A 2 stroke v6?!?! Thats awesome!
sounded nice after the initial startup after those years
22:02 - lol, that dog is a shadow-chaser.
Love the weed flapping in the wind
Great video! Thanks again for making the world a little better :-)
That was great, guys. A boat on the water. Brought back wonderful memories. (Was that hat a Tilley?)
Glad you enjoyed!! 😃 yes, yes it was!
You guys should pot the plant and keep it onboard as a mascot
I had a 17 foot one with a center cancel. I had a Johnson GT 150 on her. Was the best for waterskiing and tubing.
Well this is a change of pace, cool video
If they're all at a hundred then you have a harborfreight pressure gauge or cheap pressure gauge that doesn't have a Schrader valve built into the hose.
Yeap! Reads about 15psi low lol..Seems my “nice” one is constantly getting swapped out under warranty. Would love to find an old school Mac or something!
Looks like a boat load of fun to me!!! 😂😂😂😂
Looks like a fun Boat Project :-)
awesome, love those budget builds haha
She looks like heck but sure runs well! Nice job you guys!
Wao i filled happy at the speed moments, thanks guys you are greats guys wao awesome! Yeaaaaaaa!
It’s awesome to see you bring friends from other channels to new adventures 👍
I love how y’all just left the plans that grew in there haha
She runs good for sitting for 18 years! 😁👍
The little tree flopping in the wind lol!!!!
I love the tree still in the boat lol 😂
I have a 1988 McKee craft offshoreman. Center console... it would be an awesome Lil boat when fixed... it was actually given to me...
Great job guys 👍👍🇨🇱
i was waitin for the transom to say cya later... good show!!
Guess I'll have to check out Hamiltonville Farm. His videos seem to be similar to Diesel Creek. Already watch Rev.
For sure! Good stuff 👌

That’s some snappy boat working music.
That rabbit pickup is badass!!!
Bimini looked in too good of shape, something ain't right.
