ANTIQUE BOAT JET SKI POWERED

This boat hull had been abandoned in the woods for over 20 years. . I was going to cut it into pieces and haul it away but it had that old style you don't see in new boats today. I found out it was a 1959 Loan Star (Monterey) 14 foot runabout , built in Texas. It is powered by a Kawasaki 639cc , 65 horse power jet ski engine. Top speed so far has been 35 mph and can skim over 4 inches of water. I paid $200 for the jet ski, $300 for parts and materials. Labor was about 100 hours of getting up at 4 am and doing at least 2 hours of work every day during the week.

music is sickeningly hideous,, boat is awesome,!

[@jacktreadway7237]

Love the boat! Hate the music😒

[@VEMWMIKE]

I had to mute it until he took it out on the water.

[@richardwernst]

Ditto

[@JamesBuell88]

Was going to stop but now that I know I'll mute until in the water. Thanks

[@Mr91495osh]

The older fiberglass boats are light enough for a jet motor to push. This was very well done. Damn cool! Makes more sense than a jet ski too!

[@jasoncampbell172]

Sweet build. Hate the music!

[@zacharywinters9413]

I’m definitely building this! And as I watch the video, I can’t tell if I continue to watch it over and over for the cool build or for the cool song ha ha ha

[@travispalmer3858]

Awesome job on the windshield frame. I love this build, looks and performance.

[@Foodstampsandfuelclamps]

God dam the sound track. Nice to see an old boat fixed up and back on the water.

[@Hitech82]

Thst is a sweet little boat. Well put together and a beautiful finish work. I loved how you made the engine cover from the jet ski body. Good job.

[@trevornichols7485]

Cool build man. My grandkids dance to the music lol

[@michaeltymiak79]

At least someone enjoyed the music bawhahahaha

[@vetten76]

Very cool and very cleaver. Taking crap and turning it into working art. Nice job. I like the music. Lol...

[@timseepots]

came to the comments to see old people complain about the music, 10/10 not disappointed

[@MidnightPolaris800]

tbat boat is so freakin cool!!!! sounds like a jet ski so it confuses everyone looking for a jet ski haha

[@CoopersProjects]

I am going to attempt the same, Dad has an old boat on his property, and I picked up a broken Jet ski for $100. Awesome idea.

[@steve1967gila]

had to hit mute but loved the video, I am doing same thing to a 1957 red fish

[@fishgrubspinners6762]

The music was awesome 👍, loved the boat.

[@notsure8041]

Nice build, that is way cooler than a brand new cookie cutter boat that everyone has.

[@MDC2020]

People and their damn music

[@officialWWM]

My Damn Channel yep. That's about the worst I've ever heard!

[@johnspringer8196]

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun! Boat looks great too, nice restoration. Bet you get plenty of offers on it!

[@billymcfuggin7549]

Nice job, that looks like a blast.

[@truckinsince9617]

I just picked up a 1978 Aristocraft. After watching this video gives me a different idea for the boat restoration.

[@doubius1ify]

I don't know what everybody's talking about... I started dancing by myself in the living room, didn't even care about your boat video anymore.😆

[@michaeltymiak79]

Bahahaha now that's the spirit bro....fuck the awesome boat vid, i just wanna jam to the "kill myself" music" That's my boi!

[@graham2631]

Nice boat! Funny,music interesting but didn't rub me wrong. Far better than most choices....

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

Cool boat, I did a 59 Texas Maid the same way. Run it up some rivers, they do it well. Even Jesus Christ stopped by to check it out but he didn't like the music!

[@garyvallone5393]

What a dumb thing to say man. Find something else to mock other than a man that sacrificed his life for your sins. Idiot

[@bannister556]

Wow that's cool. Great idea. (The music was fine too)

[@singlecams]

I LOVVVVE THE MUSIC🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@vindivergilio3482]

Beautiful!!!! She looks great. I was just given a trailered 1963 Lone Star this past week-end believe it or not by a friend who discovered it under some tarps in a garage. From what we can tell by a few receipts in it, it has been there since around September of 1991. He bought the property to start a fabricating business and hates the water (unless it is a swimming pool) and was just gonna junk it, until in passing I said I would buy it for $100 and he said just take it (by a certain date). Well, we got it home and after one comical afternoon of doing some tricky moving, into our back yard. My sons and I cleaned out about 27 years worth of dirt, mouse and other small critter droppings and nesting debris and discovered that it looks like the previous owner was restoring it, but doing it in a weird way....cosmetic first then structural. Anyway, structurally she is as solid as the day she was built, except for the transom which needs to be fixed around the motor mounting plate (a crack), easy fix, and she is in desperate need of a new paint job. Our plan is to do a total refurb/restore and have her launched by next 4th of July week-end so we can watch the fireworks in Oswego, NY from in the water of Oswego Harbor, not on the lawn at Fort Ontario. Something me and my family has dreamed of doing since moving here 13 yrs ago. It's gonna take some work (and $$) but in the end, she is gonna be beautiful!!! Can I contact you (email) if I need technical help or advice?

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Great job on the boat!

[@joeboisselle6856]

that is awsome !!! i think im going to try that..

[@Bdub1952]

Cool boat, annoying "music."

[@stevengumanit8507]

loved the boat and the music.

[@martinflores4345]

I need some schooling from you...i want to build one myself...great job

[@mrfrog3350]

Nice job,that thing is sweet!

[@jessehodge8283]

Look like TOO MUCH FUN . Nice job

[@yotatuner]

Awesome project man

[@bcabmac]

Beautiful job..!!!!

[@JohnSmith-hs3np]

Awesome boat!!!

[@paigesmith6416]

That's awesome.. now I want to convert my 57' magic glass vixen ..lol that looks like a great alternative to finding another power head for my 35 Evinrude big twin 35 ..

[@jeffalden6769]

That's awesome work.

[@PlugUlgy]

That was awesome.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Sorry, but I had to turn the music down just to watch it... Nice job!

[@chrisforeals4385]

Absolutely amazing.

[@Zampan0]

Nice toy.

[@michaelfound9010]

So great when a boat had a soul and a relation ship with her owener

[@bobordewald1367]

Super project. This is what I want to do as well. I wonder if an electric motor could be added so the jet drive could be used on no gas powered lakes. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolsmith3368]

My god what a great job

[@juststeve7665]

"loan star " LOL! LONE STAR!

[@davidanderson8778]

Nice job

[@danielcorona2871]

This sound must have been dedicated to someone's grandma

[@randyneil6161]

Pretty boat

[@edrickdyczewski3753]

Loved everything except the song lol

[@ncwarrior62]

Buddy you achieved exactly what I want to do to a late 50’s early 60’s style boat. I hope you still have it. I am curious to hear how it held up. I am going to do that except I am installing the reverse gate for the jet nozzle. I hope you respond thank you for sharing!

[@zacharywinters9413]

I too am building and run in to the reverse problem as well? How did you work yours out?

[@t.h.o.r.]

Music- what music? - I thought it was powertools

[@miguelsalami]

Love the music 🤓 Nice work on the boat too C L E A N !

[@spark23ca]

is that an arkansas traveler boat ?? i have one of them ...had a 35 merc on it siezed up in shediac with the tide going out ..watch my brother float away with the tide ..they were closer to prince edward island then shediac when coast guard found them and towed them home...father said well you can have the boat if you still like it if you promise never to put it in an ocean ..i was 5

[@michaelt1974]

Well done

[@smokinapancake1234]

Bad music. Great project

[@billybaru13]

I own this boat now. Frank, hit me up if you see this

[@KylieStephens]

hey this is his daughter! frank said hows the boat doing lol

[@billybaru13]

@@KylieStephens Boat is doing great. It had two melted pistons when I got it and entire bilge was full of trapped water. Rebuilt the top end and put a drain in the bilge and used it all summer. The thing gets tons of looks!!

[@KylieStephens]

Nice

[@1STGeneral]

Viewer goes by 👋

[@rogerbalcer1]

Cool I think I'll build one !

[@alfbittner6489]

Nice reproduction, hope that song never gets reproduced.

[@djmjr77]

Know this is an old video, but I am getting ready to do this to my 85 15ft chaparral 162, not a classic like yours but it's my boat :) . Its been converted to an open fisherman. My transplant is a 98 Sea-Doo 720 motor, 85hp. Iwould like to know if you feel your boat is under powered in any way? Also do you feel like this would work better with trim adjustment on the impeller? How hard does it make to drive without the reverse capabilities? Any tips on mating the pwc fiberglass hull to the boat hull? Im thinking I can use some high density foam to fill gaps then some 1708 to tab in followed by some chop strand to smooth it out. Any tips would be really appreciated as most videos I see on this are aluminum hull boats, different animal. Awesome project and I can't wait to get started on mine. Do you still have this and run it?

[@ronesgarage6457]

I love your boat! What is top speed. I'm 69 years old and I love the music too.Awesome.!!!!

[@rayhartley7290]

Very Cool....

[@Timmermon63]

Best part was when the music stopped.

[@garyvallone5393]

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16

[@stiantiger]

Great build, but I think it sounds like it needs a impeller with more pitch. Need to see a video with more people in the boat to be able to say that for sure though..

[@katherinerichards6109]

Hi thinking of doing the same thing to a 13" dory how is the fule consumption

[@toutsen]

I struggle to comprehend how someone with such great creativity and fabrication skills can simultaneously have the worst taste in music haha...gotta rib you a bit for it. Great build though!

[@enrique6943]

Ive seen lone star but its my first loan star

[@MindyNixon]

Respect

[@jamesmcdonald1889]

lol fast forwarding the end of the video to make the boat look fast pahahaha

[@brianandrews7099]

Please consider a redo on your video, with a tour of the boat plus describing the restoration and driveline conversion and, yeah, ditch the music. Its a great boat though! I am looking at a similar Lone Star, but with an outboard setup.

[@cloudpat1]

you should put a jetski running gear in a Mac 360 then you will have a winner

[@dpow86]

Awful choice of background music.

[@paulhare662]

Nice boat but I call BS on the $500 cost claim. I'll bet there is far more than $500 in resin and paint sitting there.

[@pakaloloExpress]

soo siiiiccckkk

[@juanmcardenas6148]

What is it worth?

[@russg1801]

BTW, Chrysler Marine bought Lone Star - all those 60's/70's Chrysler boats were built in the Lone Star factory.

[@Paiadakine]

$300 on parts and labor? What was the cost of the paint, windshield, fittings, upholster? I do like your boat. Very nice restoration.

[@guyh.4553]

Great build but what the hell is that music? Horrible! Love the steering cable adapter! That little sucker can get up and MOVE!

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

What is that noise? A real source of Earritation

[@pospouris]

Nice music, but what about the boat? How fast easyt?

[@P14-n7q]

Bravo x 1000

[@beargibson3100]

those are actually suzuki engines, there was a factory tuned pipe that bumped it to 72 hp, and boyeson makes power reeds for it. I had a 1995 tigershark monte carlo a few years ago.

[@bosorio21]

Wow very good job, can you talk me more about the your windshield? I have a fiberglass 1967 boat and the windshield is Brocken. Help me I want build one too. Thank you.

[@TheYoungin55]

I have the same problem with a 1969 fiberglass boat were you able to find a solution?

[@brookewoody8620]

Hi do you still have the boat

[@michaelacree7896]

Very cool, I am looking to do something similar, and btw I love the music.

[@samcoffman1510]

Damn I've got a 64 lone star I want to do that to do you have video of the build

[@mikeorr8994]

Do you know where I can get a set of Lone Star emblems? There 2 on each side. One on the rear side hull and one on the upper side of the cabin. Thank you

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Semi-legal unsafe steering linkage. Any way to adjust the thrust angle, the boat is plowing?

[@sr2Xvet]

Hey I have a question I recently just redone a 19” boat haul with a mercruiser inboard so it’s rather heavy boat but to get to the point i foam the haul and when you but the new floor in you’re boat did you foam it? Only reason why I ask is I wanna do a build like what you did and just brain storming.

[@carterchapman5717]

bad music for that vid

[@robbieschlerf8998]

There couldn't be a worse music choice than this ever on utube

[@knobovsossidge2022]

The fox says your trailer needs bigger wheels.

i have a 57 Lone Star i want to do the exact same thing to !!

Bad ass!

crap, I threw my headphones ... cool boat tho
