im sorry about the sound issues guys, it didn’t show up during the edit and i understand it’s really bad. We’ve been trying different stuff to get the best camera picture mixed with decent sound, and well… i messed up. Sorry and i’ll fix it on the next one and be sure to check better in the future. Also sorry about forgetting to put the 3d modeling video in!! this is why i shouldn’t wake up and edit at 7am but sema crunch is real!

If the old compass is a Ritchie, it might be eligible for their factory reconditioning program. It’s probably cheaper than the new compass.

[@hardup9809]

UNACCEPTABLE! Kidding love you guys , keep killing it

[@memedogmemeaccount2163]

You can get different pich props ab get a better rpm

[@Globbs]

Always good to see your wife put in some hard work and skill.

[@MtdewDrinker]

Your props are designed for the low reving diesels. You will need to resize them to allow the LS engines make power and higher rpm. At 2700 rpms, the LS engines are barely breathing.

[@pcihector]

And inefficient.

[@TheBCninja]

They are LUGGING. That is a lot of load for that rpm level.

[@pcihector]

​@@TheBCninja I bet that if @Texas Speed see this video they already called him regarding constant full load at those RPMS.

[@leetingler619]

And you are using Marine Plywood on your table?

[@leetingler619]

Teak wood will Grey over time. That is normal.😅

[@codybailey4823]

I’d recommend, changing the props to allow the engines to reach maximum rated rpm , it’ll take a lot off strain off the engines and give you better economy

[@Z3pticon]

As many others say, you need to prop-match with the new engine and rev range. While diesels torque low down and are fine at 2500RPM, the gasoline V8 need to be much higher to produce power, and as such the propellers should he angled for your rev range and not diesels. Awesome series! Now i want to build myself a V8 boat xD

[@zacharyroy6170]

Yeah you definitely want those engines singing 5000+ at WOT. Lugging them down like that is harmful

[@jonathancarrell7797]

Once you are on a plane and giving it 75-100 throttle you need to lift the tabs. You will get at least 5-10 more mph with the tabs lifted. You can see the bow plowing the water (because of the tabs being down) when you are at full throttle.

[@Hvndtight]

I was going to comment the same thing, bow is way too low and killing speed and economy

[@valefur72]

It's not a problem of trim tabs, but of lack of weight at the stern...the boat is built for heavy diesels.

[@SingleSpeed427]

​@valefur72 It has the wrong props. It's doing 10mph at 1000RPM. LOL!

[@williamsrb1768]

Yep he trimmed it wrong pushed the bow down

[@errolturner3496]

Lift the tabs your plowing the bow

[@kiddcisco]

The boat needs different props. We have an 01 Doral 360 ext swim platform, 41ft LOA and it will run pretty much 48-50mph on twin VP 8.1's 496ci, thats at 4800rpm. Past weekend we were running 43mph at 42/4300. 2k hours on motors. Stern drives. Enjoy the cruises on river visiting w friends and enjoying food, bbq'ing and swimming!! You gonna love it.

[@meestahwah]

Another vote for new props. You should aim for about 2 or 3 hundred below max rated RPM for the engines. Cruise rpm (on diesel at least) is somewhere between 80 to 85% max RPM. Additionally, the bow should not be throwing that much water. I suspect the trim tabs being down is what is forcing the bow into the water. The bow should be slightly higher than you have it set for optimum trim. As someone who felt your LS swap idea was not the best decision, I'd have to say, I am impressed with the build and when considering costs, you won the lottery by reducing costs from rebuilding the diesel and the amount of content you generated! I'm happy to see that it is out and about again! I look forward to the video when you get the new props installed and REALLY see what the tops speed is. NOTE: the props will also likely improve your fuel consumption at cruise speed by allowing the engines to operate at a more efficient speed / torque / HP ratio.

[@demagescod9657]

His bow is plowing because he is missing a few thousand lbs in the stern.

[@willemlangenberg7287]

Never wear shoes on board on a yacht 😇🙏🏻

[@GoldenCroc]

@@demagescod9657 Well yes, but he also seemed to have the trim tabs deployed by a lot. Which is the very opposite of what you want with too little relative weight in the rear, of course.

[@NORMAND021]

Trim tabs were definitely down lmao

[@ktmarvin300]

These engines are definitely running way below their max. power and probably also max. torque rpm. I don't know the cam setup but I'd guess peak power will be above 4000 rpm for sure. Props with less pitch will definitely improve the boat's perfomance big time.

[@leefhead1]

Youll want to change the props for LS engines vs a low revving diesel engine. Also now that you know where the engine runs RPM wise (after the prop change), youll want to look into changing the cams and the intake manifold. Its been a hell of an adventure and i love to see it completed. Congrats team.

[@davidmarshall5810]

You need to re-prop the boat! The props are to large in diameter and with too much Pitch ment for a low speed high torque diesel. Re-prop for your current engines and you’ll get the results you were hoping for. Thanks for this video series Have fun with your great team!!

[@ZuminaZX]

Yes, low RPM and high engine loading with the current prop. Equivalent to shifting your car into top gear and climbing a steep grade. The recipe for detonation and catastrophic failure.

[@cadeengland6073]

Exactly! It’s so close, just needs some fine tuning!

[@GoldenCroc]

How do you figure too large diameter though? Thats not necessarily the case if you ask me, its the gearing and the pitch.... You need blade area to handle the power transfer good enough after all.

[@JuPac420]

I can’t even explain how happy this video makes me. I love the trial and error, I love the progress, the grit and reality of it all. Please never stop making boat videos!! Even if it’s just going out for fun

[@Traxxas119]

If you can't reach your max RPM, you need to have lesser pitched props or just smaller props.

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

it's clearly geared to go downhill

[@oct2274]

Definitely the wrong props on there, he should be seeing double that RPM

[@impuls60]

Smaller diameter props with same/slightly higher pitch might increase efficiency too. The old props are probably for torky low reving motors. I dont think the torque curves are anywhere near a diesel motor on such a low rpm. People forget that torque and horsepower varies a lot on different rpms. Shouting out 1500hp measured at 6000rpm makes little sense when you have half that at 2500rpm.. When done properly you choose an optimum cam for the most torque at cruising speed rpm if overall efficiency is the most important factor.

[@ricon.i474]

On these boats a bigger diameter prop is in most configurations beter for efficiency and hole shot . I don’t know the gear ratio but it looks like hey needs to drop about 10 inches of pitch. Or change the gear ratio . Running this setup full trottle with to much pitch on the props can and will hurt the engines !

[@Haru78]

agreed with the comment here, you may want to talk to a motor shop about the correct props for these new motors

[@scottwylde8528]

Contact Texas Speed and have them give you the correct full throttle operating range for those engines, and then re-prop the boat to achieve the correct RPMs. I'm guessing at WOT you should be turning about 4,500. Also for top speed runs the trim tabs should be fully retracted, At low speed the tabs help keep the nose down for better visibility and smoother ride. at top speed with the hull fully planed out lowering the tabs just creates drag and slows you down. enjoy your boat. thanks for the great videos.

[@donjackson4883]

[@JB-mk4ry]

It's a comedy of fuckups. Entertaining but infuriating.

[@CrazyIvan1337]

Probably the best, easiest, most efficient way to clean the deck is going to be to buy a large (7-8") drill brush attachment for your rotary buffer/polisher. Ideally something with a medium bristle stiffness so that it's not TOO abrasive, but still strong enough to dig into the texture. Obviously help it with whatever nice soapy cleaning solution works best, but I think you'll be really amazed at how well that'll work for you.

[@jerrellrice3413]

Yeah, it's weird that they had the solution and then immediately abandoned it. 😄 what they did worked but the drill worked first. Lol

[@Skwisgar2322]

You might want to consider having the fuel level sender adapter CNC machined. 3D printed parts are not really very well suited to sealing containers as even with 100% infill they can let fluids or vapors through. It will not be cheap, but with how much you have invested in the boat, I think it would be a relatively small cost.

[@bkuker]

Agree, and the plastic might not be compatible with gas fumes long term. That said, a 3d printed prototype is great to make everything perfect before you spend machinist money!

[@EddyT1717]

a turned delrin part would be ideal.

[@rock.doctor]

they are fabricators. They can make it themselves. A solid block of UHMW and they can just cut it out. I am not a fan of 3D printed parts. I have had ones that i bought melt and self destruct.

[@jrbuch]

Yeah this happens even with my portable Yamaha fuel tanks for my outboard powered boat. As they age the plastic breaks down a little and lets vapors & fluids out (near the fuel gauge/sender) if the tank is 100% full.

[@mattnm12]

Sendcutsend wouldn’t be too expensive, and they already have a cad file for it

[@HAL9000.]

[@speeddevil3218]

I love to see what toroidal propellers would do for your performance ,noise and fuel mileage. A comparison of old props vs new Torodial props . I bet that video would get a lot of views

[@tomasmenezes3683]

i'd love to see a top speed run but with adequate props and the boat trimmed how it should and maybe change the gear ratio (?) , i think this riva still has a lot to give :)

[@jhill2042]

Hell yea that boat can do a lot more it could do that with one of those motors

[@ivanperac5843]

yea that thing needs changing gear ratio and props for gasoline engine. 2.5k rpm is to low. i converted my boat from gas to diesel it vent from 1:1.95 to 1:1.158 and prop from 21 to 17 pitch. now with 120hp diesel max speed is 24 miles crosing speed 15-18 and burning like 8 liters of diesel per houer.

[@timnoles]

Agree with a lot of the comments. You will likely need new propellers that have the right size and pitch for those engines. Also, if your trim tabs are fully engaged, they will push the bow down which is great for rougher seas. It takes a lot of the bounce out of the boat. For calmer waters, you want the trim tabs only slightly engaged which keeps more of the bow out of the water and increases speed by reducing drag. If your tabs are engaged, you will see the initiation point for the wake closer to the bow (where the water is spraying off the side of the boat). You want that water to be as far aft as possible meaning less of the boat is in the water and it is moving more efficiently. Good job on the build. I enjoyed watching it.

[@daltoonybob]

the brush skates worked so well.

[@Steveshiflet]

Great work! For your upper deck, you should consider SeaDek or a similar product. We have the same texture on our boat's floor and we covered it with SeaDek and we could not be happier with the results. It feels great on the feet, is a sound damper, and cleans easily.

[@jamo9008]

Yep. 100% needs to happen

[@DrunkenCitizen]

Wow has it been that many years?! Man I have been watching you all for a long time. And I was so happy to see you take on the yacht. I had thoughts of doing this myself, but living vicariously through your team, Ive decided to not get a boat. Enjoy your summer.

[@parkouratheight]

For the furniture, stain with no topcoat or clear coat seems like a bad idea. Like a heavy layer of poly or for marine applications, I see people using varnish.

[@jean-pierredeclemy7032]

Life's too short for varnishing, especially cheap Ikea stuff. Back to the workshop and spray them with clear epoxy. They will last a lot longer as well.

[@tortfeaser]

NB epoxy isn't UV stable. Its good for water intrusion, but needs to be protected from UV by some sort of varnish or pigmented top coat.@@jean-pierredeclemy7032

[@nemisis714]

He also should probably be using the proper plywood and other boards. Teak is a lot more expensive than regular wood but there's not much better for marine applications

[@sfallier]

Don't spray epoxy. It's terrible with UV exposure. Use spar urethane, or something else that's meant for the outdoors. Regardless, you'll likely need to retreat it every couple of years.

[@jean-pierredeclemy7032]

Yes, I was wrong, West System recommend a two pack polyurethane @@sfallier

[@SoundsFantastic]

I feel like 3000RPM is low for ls powered boats. The props and final drives should definitly be looked at if all they rev to is 3k. Am I wrong?

[@PolarisEricson]

Ls boats can go past 4k easily. I'll have to check next time I'm out

[@Avetho]

I think for something like this yacht, 3000 is decent. He could gear it down a little more to get more speed out of it, but then at high throttle the engines would be revving too high at a cruise, and that would reduce the life expectancy of the engines and burn more fuel at cruise speed, I'd think. So not only is this going to extend the life of these LSX engines, its going to burn less fuel at cruising speed, since engines always burn more efficiently at lower rpm and WOT, lugging is the most efficient zone for an engine but too low of an rpm makes the engine useless and start to burn more fuel again. Generally, peak torque at WOT is the peak efficiency of the engine, its the point of the rpm band where an engine such as the Mazda SkyActiv-X is actually capable of its claimed 57% thermal efficiency, that drops when the rpm dips below peak torque and drops more so when it goes above. Of course, this also means that Chris has no equivalent "flank speed" to get extra speed by over-revving the engines with WOT, but for a yacht I believe that's just fine. Of course, I am not a boating person, I'm just using what I know of engine science and what little naval trivia I remember :P

[@GoldenCroc]

He should be at above 7000, most likely... so yes "a bit" wrong...

[@GoldenCroc]

@@Avetho 3000rpm is not good enough and I will tell you why: It lugs the engines a lot, he should be at 7000rpm or more with these engines at WOT. Lugging is not good, if not immediately the end of the world. These engines can cruise a 4-5k easily with the right stuff around them, so gearing down by a factor of more than 2, even 3 isnt a concern. Less fuel burn for lower revs isnt really true for boats in any meaningful way. He really need max allowed engine revs (above 7000rpm) to be WOT. that would surely mean a reasonable cruise of 30mph at say 4000 rpm.

[@Avetho]

@@GoldenCroc Ah, that makes sense, I'm still thinking in tyre diameters instead of prop pitch. Its like a certain amount of knots per rpm, right?

[@mikefknjohnson19]

You could do some EVA deck foam on your main deck as well as the on top of the sleeper. Boat turned out great!

[@dougbackman7788]

Something is VERY wrong here. Either the props have too much pitch or the transmission ratio is off. Your RPM's with LSX motors should be anywhere from 5,000-6,000 wide open throttle..

[@analysedean]

geared for diesel i suppose,

[@valefur72]

Probably those propellers are the original calculated for the lower RPMS and the massive torque of the Cummins diesels.

[@GoldenCroc]

Even more, above 7000 I should think...

[@zahari_s_stoyanov]

Lol, the scraping solution worked miracles!

[@matthewsmall6225]

Thank you for fixing the compass.

[@davidbuchner6620]

Y’all are doing a great job with the boat! You probably need to re prop to make sure you are in the most efficient part of the engines power band vs the diesels which make all power at super low RPM. It will also slow down your idling speed for maneuvering and docking which would be less stressful.

[@waynoswaynos]

For cleaning stains, try DMSO. It surprised me when I used it to clean a second hand imac that I purchased. The previous owner had old stickers that left black stains in the aluminium. I tried everything and nothing worked. the DMSO pimped the thing like new with zero effort. It has medical uses but is also considered an industrial solvent. Also, hydrochloric acid dissolves iron. You could try a rusty spot with that. Gloves and respirator required for the HCl. Neutralise with baking soda. The trouble with using abrasives is that you lose the grip surface.

[@valefur72]

Very nice job. I think you have only to add or move weight to the stern and the boat could reach at least 38-40 knots. With the original Cummins diesels the boat is capable of 28 knots crusing and 35 maximum, so, if the propellers are right, and the weight well distributed, this yacht will fly. You can move the water tanks to the stern and keep them always full of water.If you don't need many meters of chain for your anchor, you can reduce them to discharge the bow... Another expensive way to move weight towards the stern, if there is space, is to mount the engines as close as possible to the stern, using two V-Drive transmissions...

[@shmobro5575]

Think he had the trim too far down, made the front drop into the bow wave...

[@jeremyoehling5664]

Yes! you dropped so much weight in the rear that you need to lighten the front, load the back, and change props to get the motors turning where they are efficient and make power.

[@GoldenCroc]

Good post, much better than most here.

[@ing.quintoncalleja167]

@bisforbuild guys note that in order to attain full speed potential the engines must be able to reach their full rpm… if they are not reaching their full rpm it means that either you have an issue with the gearboxes (unlikely) or you have way too large props!! I had same issue on my yacht before, the drag on the surface of of the propellers hinders the engines to reach their full speed. When we remove and replace engines we ensure that we study the hull hydrodynamic in relation to the engine performance curve in order to obtain the adequate prop size for the boat purpose.

As a former Fuel System Operator, fuel height measuring, which is known as ullages, is the only proper way to measure fuel volume in marine fuel tanks. Technology however has made it easier. I would continue to do eyeball "ullages" with fuel and oil. That's just what I would do before big trips. Purchase an ullage tape with brass Bob and keep on hand.

[@captainsoftheazulcarrib7491]

I have enjoyed your channel. I imagine your spinning the propellers from the Diesel engines? They are all wrong for your setup. With Big Block engines you should be turning 4800 to 5200 rpm Wide Open Throttle, WOT. With that setup at that HP you should be top speed of 38-44? Cruise speed will be achieved at 3200-3500 rpm. And the speed will be whatever you get at that rpm. You’ve done a bunch of work, congrats👍🏻

[@charlieodom9107]

He doesn't have big block engines, so your statement irrelevant.

[@GoldenCroc]

@@charlieodom9107 It is, but not for the reason you might think. The engines got "big block" capacity, but RPM should be decided by max revs of the engine, likely over 7000 in this case.

[@GoldenCroc]

You have a point, but its not about "big block" per se, its about the max rpm of the engine, thats where he should be at WOT, with these engines it over 7000 rpm most likely... I think from you post you are using standard engine "rules of thumb" but they are not really applicable here since its such an unusual case for engines and boat combination.

[@charlieodom9107]

@@GoldenCroc no, completely wrong. Totally different engines, with totally different RPM ranges.

[@charlieodom9107]

@@GoldenCroc Max RPM of these engines is certainly NOT over 7k, and NO Big Block engine has a max RPM over 6k. Most are around 5k. This engine is NOT a Big Block, should not be treated as such, and RPM should be based on a dyno graph, not some arbitrary number from a completely different engine.

Great to see it finished. I think next Spring new more efficient props and some ballast to even out the weight distribution of the boat would make all the difference.

Hi Chris, You might need a stronger acid than those premixes. If you go to a hardware store or a pool supply shop, you can get hydrochloric acid, dillute it to 1:10, and apply. Keep it wet, rinse it off, and reapply until you are happy with the result. Be aware that it can eat/etch the surface. Also, for organic matter, buy some chlorine from the pool shop, dillute it down to desired strength, a 1% strength of pool chlorine will kill of algae and mould and of course stain any natural fibres so be careful haha.

Followed this project from it's inception. I was confident that gas V8 power would work out fine despite all the naysayers. The B is for Build team has way too much talent and skill for it not to. Loved every bit of the build despite it being drawn out due to personal issues, (Glad everyone is healthy again!) Would love to see more boat related builds. My thanks to everyone on the team for all the hard work and frustrations encountered in order to make that beautiful yacht whole again.

Great work! Need to protect the epoxy from UV radiation 👍

[@MrRoyle1]

My god your crew are amazing and what a beautiful boat

[@Peteblz1]

B really is for boat. I hope you enjoy this bad boy.

Please consider for the future.. No shoes on boat decks.. reduces shoe marks. Fresh water wash down pump with hose helps boat decks.. For cleaning .. Pool bleach .. is your friend .. mix it with 25% of the dawn platinum bottle in a one gallon of pool bleach .. spray it on everything before washing down. Scrub good and you are good. Watch what you wear… as the bleach will do what it does. Awesome build!! Keep having fun with it!!

Beautifully done!!! One person you might want to speak to is Finnegan... He is a boat wizard!

Oscars got too many talents man hes all around. From mechanical, fabrication, and now carpentry

Try using Whip-It or Simple Green to clean the stains. I've had good luck with both and the nice part is they are both biodegradable.

Biggest shout out to Jose, you'd be lost without him mate!

[@Parker_Ralston]

Get The SHARROW Propeller!!! You will not only go faster, but you'll also save gas.

3d print the switch labels in white and have the letters slightly deeper then face then paint the ring black don’t get paint inside the letters and they will be white. Print new one for each and it will look even and flow good!

HaHa The guys on the jet ski's using your wake as ramps.. Classic !

[@cjottosen2198]

Yeah for the compass 🧭!

[@bugged120]

Riva turned out phenomenal!!!! Love the sound of those LS's too 🥰

[@Billyspacerocket]

Star Brite non skip deck cleaner is awesome at removing stains from gelcoat.

[@clifbradley]

As a fromer deckhand for,superyachts, your cleaning methods are unorthodox. However, very effective. Also, you should do spring lines tied to the side on your boat and then consider your stern lines and make them tight, but with a little give to accommodate tide changes.
