Nice! I'm a boat guy first, and a car guy second. I own and have rebuilt/restored several boats from the '50s-'70s, including a 1968 Chris Craft express cruiser with twin Paragons. It was fun watching you, as a non-boat guy but a gearhead, figure out the various systems including the neutral safety switch. Couple of extra pointers. First, most inboard marine engines have two water pumps--the recirculating pump, which resembles any automotive water pump, and also a raw water pump. The raw water pump has a rubber impeller that (a) wears out over time, generally every 2-3 years, and (b) burns up very quickly if the motor is run dry. As a rule, never run the boat without water running through it, either from the hose or in the lake, even momentarily. When the impeller goes bad, it'll stop pumping or worse, shred itself and send rubber pieces through the cooling system and plug it up somewhere hard to access. Second, agree with what you've found about the Paragon transmission. They're great, reliable old units. Just know that the parts supply for those has dried up, so finding rebuild kits is getting hard. They are indeed hydraulic and do indeed use regular ATF (Dexron III). They whine in reverse--that's normal. The uneven whining is from the motor idling choppy--as you say, that cop motor needs a tune up. The V-drive adds another set of gears and more noise. By the way, check your fluid level immediately after running it and shutting down--like automotive automatics, the fluid will drain a bit after sitting, so you need to check while it's still circulated. Don't do it running in neutral like a car, though, because it splashes against the dipstick and gives false readings. Next, as you guys found, just like a driveshaft, propshafts need to be very straight so as not to vibrate. If the prop has old damage, it probably needs to be balanced too. You may be hard pressed to find prop shops in Iowa, but here in the Great Lakes region there are several. Propscan is one such shop. Next, straight inboard boats are sweet--but stern drives became dominant for a few reasons, particularly slow speed maneuvering. Straight inboard boats do not turn worth a damn in reverse. And in forward, they only turn if water is flowing past the rudder (ie., the boat is moving). It's an art form to master slow speed maneuvering on a straight inboard! As for trailering, always tow the boat with ratchet straps at the stern--from the boat's eyelets to the trailer. And it wasn't visible in the video, but backing down the ramp, always leave the bow strap attached until the boat's partially floating--I can't tell you how many people have had their boat slide off the trailer and onto the concrete. Last but not least, yup, Century Arabians were good, high end boats and they have a cult following.

First thing to do is have someone who knows boats take a look at the structural integrity. It might be fine, or there could be enough deterioration that if you got it repacked, water tight, and the engine purring like a kitten, it would be a real blast right up to the point where you gun it in a tight turn and the torsion force twists the boat in two. If it lacks basic hull integrity, it's not really worth rebuilding. At that point go back to your original plan - salvage the engine. The trailer alone is worth what the boat cost.

Since you have the mechanical ability, why not do a thorough inspection and service of the engine/gearbox and associated components, tidy up the upholstery and make another run.

That's actually a valuable boat, if the stringers (the wood frame that the motor sits on) are in good condition, that boat with the hull cleaned up and new interior can bring a lot of money. That and it's sister model the Resorter are really sought after, especially with a big block. Keep in mind you took something that hasn't run in years that you know very little about, and put very little mechanical work and ran it full throttle almost immediately. That's like taking one of your rescues down a drag strip on its first run. If the motor isn't damaged, those velvet drives aren't super expensive and that boat will absolutely return your investment if you get it running well. I could tell the throttle cable needs adjusting, you have almost no throw in it until you move it 3/4 of the way. Little stuff like that will make a big difference.

I work on these for a living and the number one rule when running a boat out of the water is ALWAYS have it hooked to water and have it flowing before cranking it. It only takes a few seconds to burn up the rubber impeller in the cooling water pump when running dry
@martinthompson3710
@martinthompson3710 Жыл бұрын
You clearly do NOT work on boats. Or at least you don't work on them out of the water. There is a really critical thing called REVERSION that will hydraulic any number of cylinders if you have the water running BEFORE you crank the motor. YES, have the water all hooked up and ready to go, preferably with a ball valve at the engine. Start the motor, then once it is running slowly bring in the water from the garden hose or other source. Depending on the type of cooling system design/routing there is a good chance that water will back up into the exhaust and potentially into an exhaust port in the head and from there into a cylinder. If that happens, you will hydraulic that cylinder and blow a head gasket at a minimum. Wrist pins, C-rods, crank bearings all hate a cylinder full of water on a compression stroke.

On the trailer, the boat engine ALWAYS needs to run on a hose. The packing gland SHOULD drip once every 3 to 5 seconds, overtightening will burn the packing and groove the shaft. Prop shaft coupler to transmission coupler alignment is extremely important, clearance is usually 3 thousands, bent shaft will never get aligned. Reverse whine is normal Nice boat, the arabian and resorters are tru classics

The gas looked really clean - maybe it was dyed gas for marine? Also, when the shaft comes off, a new packing seal is pretty much worth it for the few bucks it costs, sorta like changing the rear main seal when replacing a clutch. Over-tighten the packing seal nut and you will burn it out in no time. Most are designed to drip just a little bit. You got a really sweet boat there for 500 bucks!

In many states, you can buy a gasoline at a non-road tax price because it's meant for farm use and Iowa should be one of those states. Basically, each gallon is untaxed or is at a reduced tax rate. The way to identify this fuel is because it is in fact dyed red in color. If you run this fuel in a normal passenger car or truck, you can get fined heavily and have your vehicle towed away and impounded as I understand it. In spite of this, folks are known to run the non-tax fuel in recreational vehicles because they too are not on a roadway... and the odds of getting caught are very slim if not zero. This doesn't make it legal, the fuel has to be used specifically for a farm approved purpose of which boats, snowmobiles and the like don't qualify. Anyway, the first thing I thought of when they said "red colored fuel" was that somebody put farm use only fuel into that boat's fuel tank. Having grown up in Iowa on a farm, I'd assume Kevin should know all about it. Peace & good vibes to all! ⛽🚜🌽 - Max Giganteum

It was probably off-road fuel. Fuel that is normally used in a motor vehicle has several taxes in the cost of the fuel. With off-road fuel the only tax is sales tax. Quite often the fuel is dyed red to distinguish it from on-road motor vehicle fuel. Woe to them that is caught with dyed fuel in their motor vehicle's fuel tank.

Good deal u got there even if the boat was on bad shape the 440 dodge would have been worth the $500

Digs looks like the archatypical Sea Captain on vacation. Angus makes the perfect first mate. I was thinking, "at least they have their swim trunks on". Not exactly power Power Tour & smoking tires, but a great & entertaining episode. Thanks!

I love watching content from ADDvanced about boats and I like boats. Do more with this boat. It looks like it's got great "bones" and would be a killer boat when restored a bit more.

Make it a runner. I'd watch that video(s). Finish that polishing job too, it was really coming back. I bet you could make a profit on it when you're done.

It runs, send it! Can't kill a big block Mopar! Your trans is likely a Velvet Drive trans, commonly used in v-drive setups.

The "leak" on the shaft, we call it a stuffing box on our mudboats, we aim for a "drip" for lubrication, we dont want it dry, idk if the same applies to your boat.

That boat really deserves a good, real revival. Engine sounded great for having basically zero tuning done to it. Replace that packing nut, get the shaft straight, and have some fun for it. Would love to see a Part 2.

About 0.5 seconds into seeing the thumbnail I already knew what the boat was, the windshield popped out at me. We had a 1986 Century Arabian when I was younger and that thing was amazing. Later on in life it is described as a muscle car on the water. Ours had a Chevy 350 in it with a four barrel carb and of course at only 19 feet they are small powerful boats.

The Arabian was advertised to weigh 2850 lbs but I’m pretty sure they were actually heavier. Even though Century weren’t known for being one of the more robust hulls, fiberglass back then was considerably thicker and heavier than what we see in modern production these days. And that big block with the water cooled exhaust system, V-Drive trans, prop shaft, and prop likely weigh something near 750 pounds or more.

Even though it was not a complete rebuild but more a refresh it was a big amount of work. I like the idea of buying an old boat for bringing it back to life, invite a good friend, let him do all the work and myself just making the video and telling interesting and funny comments 😂😜

Just stumbled across your channel. GREAT STUFF!! This boat episode is awesome. That 8-track in the dash was definitely a PLUS 1 bonus. Not much of a prop guy as I run jetboats(berkeley pumps and 460's) but that thing has a great sound. Not a real fan of the V-drive setups for various reasons, primarily draft and poor steering, but that is a very nice boat overall. Well done! And I am with the rest of crowd. A follow up is ABSOSOLUTLEY NECESSARY!!
