Boat collision damage

Great to hear rob grading oysters in the background after all the problems the farmers have had in the Hawkesbury 👍🏻

BOAT stuff! Bust out another.. we'll you know.. Was a fun video to watch when you know your in the captains spot able to fix what ever comes up!

[@michaelnelson912]

One can only assume all the peanut-gallery comments are from our USA viewers... If you're not local to where Stu is, you cannot possibly offer any insight into what this thing is worth! But by all means, keep 'em coming because the entertainment is priceless ;) (Having bought and sold endless project boats, $4k is possible - but a bit more than I'd be comfortable with, especially without a trailer... and yes, I'm local enough to leave an educated opinion!)

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, definitely a negotiable price from what I understand. It's true what you say about local boats though. A much smaller runabout with a 50HP engine can go for over $10,000 so if somebody had the right skills they could end up with a nice boat at the end of it.

[@Swataia]

I agree, markets are a lot different around the world. Here (FIN EU) that wreck (but repairable) could be worth from 5-10k€. People like to fix very old boats even just for fun and this one is not even a bad case. Fiberglass and aluminium hulls are fixable, ABS-plastic not so easily.

[@lvlndco]

That gray boat out on the water did look pretty nice.

[@gordonagent7037]

Great video Stu, I really appreciate the commentary you add as I find myself asking questions to which you answer. Your right too, Renko has beautiful lines and is a smart looking lady, I’d love to see you get a bigger one and do it all again……I think you love that little lady too much though as you always look so content at the wheel. Thanks for the video

Hi Stu, good video on doing what you could even though the owner can't afford to fix it. If he finds someone who can maybe they will have you guy do the restore? Either way nice to see you back working on outboards. Those VST tanks are a debris collector from what I have seen

I've rebuilt my share of mid 60's to mid 70's merc's and u just cant kill em. They'll take everything u can throw at em and more! They have have the best exhaust sound in my opinion. Love the look of em too. Feel for the fella who ran aground, thats a real drag. Hope he's able to at least get a decent used boat if he can sell it. What did adrian say about the oil leak? where it was comin from? Was hard to tell. Thanks again for sharin stu. Have a good weekend.

[@DangarMarine]

They do seem like pretty tough motors. The oil leak was a plug that came out just above the oil pan. Looks like there is a hole on both sides so the dipstick can be installed somewhere reachable and the other hole plugged up.

[@ionracer24]

[@markindzeris369]

Stu, the bottom cowl will come off with three or so bolts in from the sides, (one under a plastic plug) making it easier to get to the underside of the motor. Give that a try for the steering linkages.

Hey there Stew. Great vid. When I found the lower engine mount bolts were corroded on my 200 Opti, I replaced them with 316 stainless. Still trying to figure out what Mercury were thinking when they used plain old steel bolts for that job.

[@DangarMarine]

I feel the same way about the steering yoke. I figure it is either cost or some of the characteristics of stainless under certain stresses.

Heya stu, my dad was asking if you ever found out what plans Renko was based on. He REALLY likes that boat, and we've both been on boats our whole lives

[@DangarMarine]

Unfortunately not but I’m thinking I might post some photos on the trawler pages on Facebook and see what I can find out.

[@MacPoop]

@@DangarMarine Definitely unique, it reminds me of a real-life steel "Tubby The Tugboat", an old children's novel from the 60's (or Tuggy??.. Think I'm misremembering the name) I remember us years ago seeing Renko the first time going "well that's a cute boat!" Tuggy/Tubby immediately came to mind. Would be funny if that's actually what it was based on. Synopsis was "Over the years, Tubby the Tugboat has gotten used to spending his days forgotten in Backwater Bay. But that's changing. One way or another, Tubby is about to become useful once again-and that's why he and his friends are worried. Is Tubby on his way to the scrap yard? Or is there still a place in the world for an undersized tugboat like Tubby?"

[@MusicMike939]

It should be on sale for $1. Right now it is a worthless piece of scrap. It might have the potential to be worth $4000 once it is fixed, but now worth nothing. Renko same thing. It was a floating piece of rust. The owner would have had to pay to have it scrapped. But he sold it for way more than it was worth. Only Leo at Sampson Boat company did the right thing in paying $1 for his boat. He has paid 100s of thousands to fix it up now. Once done maybe worth $1million.

[@DangarMarine]

If fixed up properly they go for over $20,000 www.boatsales.com.au/boats/details/2000-stejcraft-580br-bahama/OAG-AD-20982414/?Cr=8
