Are these salvage companies common

Good luck

I haven’t seen you change the oil yet. I think that would be the first thing I would’ve done. I hope you did. Good luck getting her going.

I need one like that

Nice job. I would suggest you do carry a new pump with you, when you actually do ocean, or lake trials.

Put the motor in gear slow, let it warm up, forward and reverse

Reverse the wires and the fuel pump ir water will kick in.

On the controls on the console, pump the throttle forward to give it some gas. Put it back in neutral, turn the key.

Update on the boat man!

lol all you have to do to break it free was to pull two bolts across from each other , get two long bolts and bolt your cheater bar to the flywheel.

I thought this might be interesting but really wasn't. The video would be much better if you spoke plainly and enunciated a lot better. Sounds like you had a mouth full of marbles.

How did the boat do? get a wireless mic you can clip on your shirt.

and the long crank could be the fuel pump check valve going out or the pressure regulator bypassing after you turn off the key. To check it use a fuel pressure gauge, there's a port for it on the fuel rail.

Nice boat

What was it?

Bravo. Great work and determination.

When's the next video

cam phaser

How much ?

How much you paid for it?

Yeah I agree you don’t know what you’re doing especially when you tried to twist the oil fill cap and said “ what’s this coolant?” Lmfao😂 is the radiator on the bow? You really don’t know how a outboard cools?

Do you have to fully register\insure your new boat before you can take it out on the water ?

Wow can we all step back and give our condolences to all the boats getting scrapped because of a hurricane. Even this boat was someone’s day out on the water and then one day, poof. Washed away forever.

I watched the series ! Good job, just make sure you do your due diligence. My biggest problem with these same boat projects is the patience. Be patient and do it right .

Oooofff

Ready for the next video!

Cheap is not relative unless you tell us what you paid for the boat. For what's it worth this boat would not scare me away, any Key West is a timeless classic. Cleaning this up to shine like a brand new penny is a walk in the park. However, no matter what you think or how good something looks EVERY wire and most likely gauge in that boat is junk and will fail given enough time. Still no big deal, wire is cheap considering the cost of a new boat. I love these type of projects.

What was the price ?

its your vcts. the 5.0 can have cam phaser issues which are known as vcts. get them replaced soon because if they are this bad already they can come apart catastrophically. take to a ford dealer preferably.

My truck sounded a little bit like that and it was the cam phasers.

Might honesty be your fly wheel/Starter , I watched a guy with a old 6.5 Detroit have that same issue and it sounds like it nocks at the start but runs ok after. Check your starter and transmission. Check if all of your transmission bolts are still tight and for any chips in the fly wheel. That sound you are hearing I think it is grinding the starter, I think that's why It takes so long too start. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5fUYpqvi66Me6M Here's the video of what I was talking about Just a idea of what it could be! Lmk an hope it helps.

Rod knock on start up needs a motor. Do your change like you are supposed to and wouldn’t have that problem. JT

coil

Nice boat

Well done!

What was the purchase price?

Stick with it! I'm rooting for you!

Hell yea brother great job. Keep up the great content. Cant wait for some new updates. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

Time to go fishing!

Great job man! I just went through the same thing with my Yamaha 200 vmax. The pump in the vst tank is everything! Just make sure you run it at high rpm once it’s on the water to burn off any gunk on the cylinders and replace all the fuel filters. Just my two cents

Just some friendly advice change the lower unit oil and engine oil before you take it out on the water. Even if the oils look good a few bucks is worth the peace of mind and not risking future damage

oh man to be a scrap racoon in that yard !

What’s the site name you got your boat from

If this was me, I would have taken the power head off, and spent the needed money to give it a full rebuild, most likely will only need new end shells, piston rings and a complete seal gasket set, but by doing what your doing IE: turning it over you probably damaged the boars and pistons, and maybe the crank journals, I could do a full rebuild for my self for under £1k, where if you damage the rest of it your looking at 3-5 times that.

you need to purchase a manual for that engine, and slow down and not mess up anything else

Nice job on all that. Now, please tell us how much you spent on the whole thing. Thanks.

Really enjoying your journey and impressed with the resilience of the Zuke. Great work getting it running to this point. Can't wait to see the water test. Keep the posts coming!

WHAT WAS THAT PART YOU SKEETING IN THAT

Congratulations!!! Happy to see the motor running. I would think that's the hard part. And so now only a million more things to check and fix. lol. Again, congrats!

Glad to see you got er runnin 👍
