$400 Barn Find: Reviving a 14ft Alloy Boat and 30HP Motor

[@playnhrd]

Your son will grow up with the knowledge that anything is possible regarding mechanical contrivances, because you are simply outstanding with discarded and abandoned machines. It bouys my spirit to think that as I get older, those things that I held dear and worked with were still held in regard and still preformed as designed. It is a metaphor for life, and very good viewing on youtube.

[@Melicoy]

you son wants some attention lol

[@MrPhotodoc]

Great video for Father's Day.

[@olsim1730]

Perhaps. My dad was just like Marty...and I can hardly find the motivation or patience to change the oil in my vehicle. 😅 I'd rather pay a mechanic

[@robstone9628]

Marty keep being real, so rare on youtube.

[@bfly51]

Yes very refreshing!

lol

[@darwinbruce59]

He's a Mainlander, from the south island. What do you expect.

[@FriPilot]

You're a man after my own heart, Marty! Everything fixed correctly, none of that 1/2 assed stuff. Neat and tidy makes me feel so good after watching some of the car builders on KZbin. "Eh, that's good enough" smh You set a good example for your son. He seems a nice young fellow.

[@jonnenne]

I like your son always agreeing "yep", "mm-hmm", etc like that is exactly what he was about to say

[@MartyT]

We think alike 😂

[@TheGrimReaper1]

We had some hens like that on the farm in the sixties, Rhode Island red, crossed with a light Sussex if I’m not mistaken.very good all rounders .

[@mdouglaswray]

Watching you and your lad working together is so stinkin WHOLESOME!!!!!! Love your videos Marty!

[@js8039]

Marty you have the most well mannered children. Eager to learn and very attentive. Well done.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Nothing better than giving old equipment a good cleaning and get it running again. Thanks for the post!

[@MichaelSteeves]

That was so satisfying! Clean it out immediately, inspect everything, replace what needs replacing, properly fix electrical issues, including wire loom, grease and lubricate everything. I've seen too many "will it run" videos where all they care about is short-term functioning, not even cleaning things out.

[@martinmoss317]

It's like spending time with your best mate as you fix stuff. Since I live in a different country to my mates you fill a void in my life. Thanks. Now pass me a beer and show me that again.

[@Mpro087]

😁😄

[@ThatGuyThatThumbs]

Marty is such a nice guy. Not only will he buy your boat for $400, but he will give your tree a prune on his way out.

[@madmax82988]

But I didn't want my tree pruned; it was perfect just the way it was! 😭

[@wideyxyz2271]

Good to see Toby supervising dad, team work.

[@markfowler2066]

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to tell these wonderful stories. Blessings from Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga Tennessee USA.

[@nsbhagwat]

Thank you very much for publishing the longer format video. Eagerly awaiting the next edition. Thanks again.

[@utubota5522]

you are an expert at resurrecting the abandoned. Thanks Marty.

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

Another sweet resurrection Marty! A rather simple "running when parked" story. The top to bottom Inspection and PM job you did was terrific. That little runabout will good for many years of enjoyment. Maybe Toby's first boat? Naah - You will come across another diamond in the rough and restore it as apprentice and Master when the time comes. ♥

[@andrewradford3953]

7:10 that timber board was very happy to see you!

[@brianferguson6278]

I hope you take a look at the amount of Floatation Foam that has been lost, you can cut a sheet of foam and hold the pieces in place with spray foam. A single 2" x4' x8' sheet cut into pieces gives a quarter ton of positive flotation to the boat. And if you swamp the boat, the boat becomes a lifeboat to save your families' life's. Something that needs to ne looked at. But looking great!!

[@MartyT]

Yep the floatation is intact under all the seats

[@ColinLennard]

Watching you is always good for learning about a different & better way of fixing the problem. Your children have the best teacher to learn from, I wish I had a Dad like you..

[@johnnixon7750]

Another great Saturday Nights entertainment with NO b.s. Love watching your vids Marty, and yes I do learn a lot from you but love to see some of the things that I was shown by my Dad many years ago as well. Cheers, John.

[@GreyRockOne]

Beautiful job Marty! I forgot you are starting your winter down there, we are in the midst of high heat and a high-in-the-sky sun here in the US. Thank You

[@robertburns3014]

Nice little run-a-bout you've got there, Marty. It will be great to use for close to shore fishing trips and taking the boat out to get some fresh air and maybe do a little coastline exploring. I enjoyed the video on the process of getting the boat, motor, and trailer back in shape.

[@GARCKY]

You've done a proper job on the entire boat and trailer. Excellent!

[@3006benjamin]

My old man is an engineer and now I'm a marine engineer and love my job. I'd love to see his progress as the videos continue.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Marty, I’m always impressed with you. If you’re not mechanically minded you always explain what you are doing and I think it’s fantastic. Specially when you’ve got your son with you and he’s always learning all the time and you’re teaching the viewers of your KZbin keep up the good work always appreciate your videos cliff from Queensland Australia. We’re on the big island

[@jmpersonal2402]

Fyran were always great little boats - the basics done very well

[@mikefriend7570]

What a sweet deal! Great video demonstrating how to reuse stuff that would otherwise be junked. And what a great learning video for small boat owners! Brilliant

[@JoseRatahi-Koia]

Bro I literally brought the exact same set up for $1000 in Wellington 2 days ago. The trailer, boat and engine needs some work but watching this gives me hope. This has given me

[@stevieb6173]

love this guy,, like I say, i know nothing about machinery but I could listen and watch this guy all day long,,, he's so calm about what he does , unbelievably knowledgable and makes his craft so incredibly interesting,,, you have one hell of a lifestyle and so very lucky 👍👍👍👍

[@donhalford2237]

Another good one, Marty. You have some right friendly hens, but watch that they don't eat your small parts. Nice seeing the kids, especially watching your boy helping out.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

Nothing better than a long Marty T video. Thanking you, from Nagaland, India

[@terryevans7661]

Looks like a good buy my friend. Love the way you start at the beginning with your service/investigation. Pays everytime.. Happy days! Enjoy.

[@edwardmulder3777]

Anutha great vid, nice ta See ya showing and explaining things to ur kids, great education fir them. Always enjoy your vids, plis makes me just a wee bit homesick.

[@hawaiiansunrise8984]

She's brand new Mate! Attention to detail is the sign of a good craftsman. Good to see the Kids learning at an early age!!

[@goptools]

Nice cleanup/restoration job! Seeing the buildup of mold and moss being pressure washed off is quite enjoyable. Kind of like an eraser for years of weathering.

[@astonmartin2727]

Another sterling job on a project. Looking forward to see part 2. Keep us updated. 👍

[@99andrianmonk]

Thumbs up signal - priceless and memorable. That picture is a keeper.

[@rwdkai]

It is always good to see an old boat getting a new life! Alloy boats were never very popular over here in the UK or Ireland. You were spot on with the annode on the motor. Off to the test run now...

[@rwdkai]

As for the tyres if they're not too badly cracked I'd drop the pressure to 10-15psi and run them for a mile or 2 and then pump them up to 50+psi preferably with the weight off and let them cool, works a trick for cars that have been lying up.

[@Dan-TheOracle]

the problem with the oilers is that you only find out they arent working when your engine locks up... always premix your fuel.

[@MartyT]

Yeah that's not a bad idea, Im always dubious of old self oilers

[@jjohnson2553]

Nice find. I've got a 25 hp Mariner of similar vintage. Mines an 84 model. That 30 hp looks like it pulls over a lot easier than mine, but mine has never given me problems and starts right up every spring after sitting all winter for the last 12 years in a row. I'm just glad it has electric start. All I do is clean the fuel filter, drain the fuel in the winter, and change the impeller, spark plugs, and gear oil every few years. Good motors and yes the trim tab is the anode.

[@sharonbraselton3135]

New out bards easer smarter easer motee fuk eferrnt. Kots if stuff beter with new techkgy

[@sidewaysaction9983]

As a man who's all things wheels especially motorcycles, boat 2 strokes are a piece of work and in the past shoehorned in to race bikes with great success

[@paulw3182]

Cool another boat. Better out of the water, than sitting in the water for 14 years. Great Channel.

[@heuster]

Wish I was this smart! I would LOVE to be able to know these things and fix stuff like this. These videos are AMAZING!

[@ronaldheit196]

It's an awesome Wednesday morning when I find a new MartyT episode in my feed. He always comes up with a new bit of something or another to fix up. This one was a really good find. It's amazing how fast his boy is growing up as we follow Marty's adventures fixing up others castor's. Won't be long till he's Dad's number one right hand man wrenching right beside Marty. Finding his own gems in need of fixin'.

[@ni_wink84]

Two videos in the same day?!! AWESOME!!

[@donotwantahandle1111]

That's a thorough job! Can't wait to see it on the water!!

[@donotwantahandle1111]

I think there's a follow up?

[@somerandomguy3868]

Excellent outboard service video, great job on the boat

[@tubeDude48]

What I would find as junk, you turn it into treasure! Well done, Marty. From the California, USA

[@g-man7938]

Very thorough rehab, great job as always.👍

[@lutomson3496]

Water pumps always fail this old...its a given great video and always love the 2 stroke motors way more efficient!

[@TasmanianDevil3]

Not true at all. Not in the day and age of modern 4 strokes.

[@richarddavies7419]

2 strokes may be smaller and lighter, but burn more fuel for same power.

[@joeyjojo4506]

I'm not into boats but I just like watching you do stuff.

[@kevinmccarey5015]

Marty, Nice work on the old buggy, great job with the second mate, beautiful kids. Happy Father’s Day to you

[@joerodrigues3816]

It’s great to see you back mate I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe and healthy and your friends to mate thanks again for sharing your knowledge it’s amazing how you can do what you do love it.

[@tonychilton4321]

Brilliant video as always. Very informative just like RCR. A great reality check. Thanks again

[@justinkael3255]

Good on you Marty. Looking forward to seeing the maiden voyage!

[@gazzafloss]

Just like a lot of boats Marty, many are just "yard ornaments", sit on a trailer and go nowhere. You'll use it, so another good score.

[@te_a10]

Would love to see a Q&A vid for 500k subs answering some common questions and showing all the machines you've got. Great video as always!

[@squiddly-diddly]

Those older oil injection motors are bloody awesome...👍

[@Crftbt]

Appreciate the thoroughness in your restoration. Hoping one day you might have a sandblaster for dealing with cleaning parts. Would love to see a video of having the windscreen polished with a before and after of visibility. :)

[@MRrwmac]

Very nice restoration! You got lucky on the engine. Congratulations

[@NathanNostaw]

Score. The kids are going to love this thing. I doubt they get as much excitement with all your old tractor and crawler scores. For that screen, I'd be cutting a big section out and supporting the curved corners with alloy T section and have a removable or folding flat-ish new front screen (alloy extrusion framed). Be nice to have the option of nice breeze/wind on summer days, and be able to climb and sit on the front when fishing.

[@jlucasound]

Easily worth the $400. Engine turns over, includes trailer with turning hubs and the best part, the roof over the helm!! Priceless!! You'll be able to camp out in it! 😃😁👍

[@Joemammatype3]

Starting the day off with Marty. Hello from Kentucky.

[@terrysims4028]

I enjoy all of you're video's especially the one's whenever you involve you're children .

[@larryskeeper1197]

First time I've seen anyone test a thermostat on YT prior to installing it. Always a CYA procedure we were taught to guarantee integrity... That motor runs sweet...

[@corydriver7634]

Brilliant solution to getting the boat off and on the trailer by yourself.

[@brentdubak3710]

Nice work as always Marty

[@balboshrooms]

Let's go Marty T... what a way to end the day here in Oklahoma

[@iksexplorationsfollower2588]

Looks like you you've scored well with this one, good job with the cleaning up, really enjoy this video's of yours. thank you.

[@shanedavies9564]

Awesome Marty great barn find handy light weight boat mate cheers , shaneo, Nelson, 🍺👍

[@dustyfarmer]

Nice little boat. Double check for any lead sinkers or hooks inside it as they like to galvanic corrode the hull from the inside out.

[@MartyT]

Yeah I gave it a good clean out

[@richardgatchell2523]

Want to sell it?

[@Hardoutbro]

Hey Marty, I use inox on my JetSki and it keeps the corrosion away pretty good. Also spray it on my rods and tackle after it’s all been rinsed with fresh water. Love the videos bro

[@MartyT]

Nice, yeah I wash and Inox my outboards a few times a year, keeps the corrosion at bay

[@gsftom]

Best boats you can own. Inexpensive, easy to maintain, tow, store and the v can handle a lot of water for its size. I have a old 14ft Monarch v with a 1998 15 hp outboard. Holds 4 ppl and is more fun / less worry and expense per $ than any other boat I have owned. I built a frame that holds a cover over the boat and have a dolly that lets me keep the outboard in the garage.

[@joec880]

The longer videos are always the best.

[@jayson0987]

i love how unimpressed your son was when you got it running well lol, he was like yep I expect nothing less from you dad, lets get this in the water hahahah.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Great Father's Day video.

[@mattwheaton7621]

An amazing job , and the work into that trailer, WOW 😮

[@LeeJonesNPT]

Great work and knowledge of the marine environment, that combo should serve you well for a good few years

[@ngalyod7275]

Ahh the good ole tool pro. My first set ever and favourite so far. Love ya mart keep the good stuff coming.

[@bradmarcum2927]

Just found your channel. Good on you for including you boy in your adventures.

[@tujuprojects]

You need a proper 20m long zinc/galvanzing bath station to your site. Then you can dip those trailers like they do it at factory.

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Really enjoy your videos. Always happy to see the notice.

[@kalleklp7291]

Cool! You did quite a good deal there. Your son will remember the things you and he did together. Lessons on "how to" for life. :)

[@ianbartelmez4720]

[@RAYAR54]

Awesome salvaging a run about and making it great again.

[@mischef18]

Looks a beauty bro and a good price even though it needed a wee bit of love. Safe travels. Ken.

[@mateckomet7724]

While you are under the engine cowling you can also lightly pull/tug on the fuel injection tubes as they have been known to break off at the spigot/connection locations. Fuel tubes can be visually inspected for cracking. Just a suggestion. Good job.

[@doskraut]

As always a great video and did is doing well letting the kids be involved, teaches them to be prepared for the future.

[@madasamadas]

More great entertainment! Love the T Shirt Marty - Go RCR 😀

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Marty - An old trick I heard about cleaning insides of truck frame box sections... grab a long piece of threaded rod, two washers, two nuts, and a couple 8-12" pieces of chain. Sandwich the chain to the end of the rod, mount the other end in a drill, and send it down the tube. The chain will rub the rust off at least most of it, and if you go slow it'll whip itself into the square corners a bit too with the slack slamming into the edges.

[@MartyT]

That is a good tip thanks

[@bruceleealmighty]

Thanks for making this into 2 separate vids.

[@ditherdather]

I love watching this guy breathe new life into things.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Looks like a nice boat. Should be a blast.

[@JustAnAverageBrad]

put a small long hose on your spray gun...with an undercoating mist nozzle on the end of the hose...then use it to spray a mist of lanolin based rust proofing inside the steel tubing.....thats how we rustproof car rockers/pillars and truck frames up here in canadaland

[@localcrew]

The dog is here to help. Good dog.
