That boat for sure was not factory with a bracket and outboards. I'm 50 years old, born and raised in Miami and on boats my entire life. That boat was either twin I/O or straight shaft inboards. But given it's size, I would guess from factory it was a single diesel inboard. Maybe even a V-Drive inboard. Hint, no boat builders would put such a defined curve or (crown) in the transom if they were planning to put outboards on a bracket. Now, back then lots of boats like this had the curve in the transom. But if it were built for I/O's then there would be a flat spot for the drives. If that is the original transom, it was a factory inboard boat.

[@franmonaghan57]

Just a little bit of knowledge for you tell the owner to take the zip wakes off and put a longer set of tabs on it like 19 inches or so extends the running surface towards the motors and makes a big difference in how that hull rides

[@RT10Viperman]

You guys did an awesome job of reinforcing that transom...!! I put a 680 HP blown big block in my 22 regal velocity and it broke the transom. It almost sunk, I went with foam core replacement and have had no problems.

[@JoseHernandez---]

Great job guys, Great follow up video on that boat.. Keep the TECHNICIAN'S TUESDAY videos going. 👍🏻

[@jeffreyvanderklip6769]

Always liked the looks of that boat. Got to ride in one in 85 at the Miami boat show. Those v8's push it about 8 knots faster than those inboards.

[@caddiman9834]

Watched all ur episodes. Love the back shots of the water splitting. Lets hear a bit more of those engines revving up in the high RPM.🤙🏼

[@MrCybernick]

Great bit of work guys well done ...It would be very interesting to revisit this boat in a year's time to see how it's holding up... The two v8s are heavy and an insane amount of torque..Possibly overpowered for most people...your thoughts?

I gave a thumbs down for Mr. Man-bun. Vile.

[@investigativeoutcomes9343]

@@thinkcasting3182 worst repair i have ever seen, down right dangerous. i would have layered marine ply 2 1/2''s plus, epoxied in, then a 3/8's layer of biaxle cloth epoxied and completely sealed, or instead of using plywood use composite board use coosa board.

[@robertp7209]

These type of modifications involve professional engineers or marine architects. Everything else is bullshet especially when liability is involved in any business. If it’s overdone then fine, by luck, or nothing goes wrong. All the power has to be transferred to the hull from two tiny OEM motor brackets per motor, relative, hIn all sea conditions and loading. Some of the newer boats these days have several motors back there, 3, 4 or more. A 36 regulator went by me with 3 x 350s. Designed from day 1 with outboards.

[@antonio821]

will you upload a video of transom repairing?

Happy to see you guys are back!!!

Fuel/water separating filters mounted over electronics? Drip drip drip....... Whoooosh!

[@dylandavidson1709]

Looks to be more out the way and forward mounted compared to the electcnices

[@solidtangent9953]

That’s the Florida keys bud they come up with everything and anything . Great idea too

[@malekodesouza7255]

I noticed that too. I don’t get it and I wouldn’t do it. Electronics & moisture are not compatible.

[@Skatakephalos7434]

The only thing more ridiculous than an outboard engine costing as much as a car is the fuel consumption.

[@Cory-Stewart-]

my boats previous owner mounted the engine with unsealed bolts holes. So when I repowerd, i used a 13mm marine ply to spread strengthen my mounts. My grandfather whom was helping kept telling me I was wasting my time and just to use a larger washers.

[@ricemadd]

Great vid! What are the general/approximate specs of the boat?

[@jamesrahn8339]

What an awesome boat. Good work on that transom!

[@rmretherford]

Dang that is a nice boat very impressive maneuverability for the size and weight

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

So whats the year, make, and model & size boat is it? Nice video! Those motors definitely look fun lol.. What did you use for the reinforcements that are glassed in? They look round almost. PVC pipe the thicker one maybe? Or is it pieces of wood?

[@ronriles1513]

What are the black round attachments on each side in the back of the boat?

[@georgeanddaddecker7563]

Technician Tuesdays from now on please. I learn so much.

[@AlejandroDearmas-tb6xo]

With twins What side does the counter rotating Mercury motor go on?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Depends, for most set ups, on the left though, but some will swap to give a difference in lift and what not

[@BruceDJames]

Another great video! I was wondering what was used to strengthen the transom, were those cylinders of fiberglass that were glassed into the transom or something else? TYVM

[@rickytejera6707]

Nice work as usual. Do you know anyone that does good fiberglass work i was looking to close-in a transom.

[@franmonaghan57]

I am pretty sure but not positive that it came with the outboards originally it looks like an original bracket. But with the vents partially blocked off not sure but it is 85 and they were playing around different vent configurations on the early hulls

[@TheDoug9901]

big water big hp in Canada at $8 a gallon

[@makapa2u]

Missed it but what’s the make of the boat ? I have a 14 ft Tti-foil Chrysler as a run about thinking of adding transom bracket but also about to get a 23 ft Sunbird Neptune

[@K_M_M_G]

Love your channel and that’s an impressive amount of work. I’m shocked the boat can reach those speeds with an 11 foot beam and a tower like that.

[@davidkirksey8521]

wide beam but did not look like much deadrise, not deep V

[@billybell5286]

How much does it weigh dry and how long is it. Love your content bro, keep em coming.

[@dchas4842]

Dusky bought the mold for that hull from Rybovich. They sell the same boat with a factory bracket for almost 30 years.

[@billwallenstein3387]

I didn’t know that, which hull

[@dchas4842]

@@billwallenstein3387 The 33, just has a different cap and internal layout.

[@kerryhennessy169]

This is our boat in Marathon, Fl Keys. The “Dusky 33” like the one Bouncer Smith runs is popped off the same mold

[@etk007]

Hey man be extra careful with those battery boosters when hooking directly to the outboards. They provide so much punch I've broken down 2 trim level sensors and couple of fuses on modern yamaha outboards at work when there's no battery connect to take the initial hit when adjusting the trim level. :)

[@martinacassidy9436]

[@brianwright874]

Good video. Nice set up.

[@solidtangent9953]

That’s impressive I’m going too be doing something along those line super frowned upon in the shamrock community lol

[@MealeyMarine]

How'd you get your noco to power the trim? I thought it had to read voltage to work?

[@timlong1462]

You can hold the "!" Button down till the light comes on and it will supply voltage. It's a button for when you drain the battery so low it doesn't recognize you hooked it up.

[@MealeyMarine]

@timlong1462 thanks for the tip. That's awesome

[@airman6822]

Nice work, fellas. I'm sure your busy this time of year.

[@luchio0377]

[@djpat5998]

How do you know what engine size a boat is rated for?

[@sharkansas_]

the capacity plate on the transom will say what the boat is rated for

[@cheftomsd]

No expert here, but I think the rating plate only applies if the boat was designed to be an outboard from the factory. Ourboards of this size didn't exist 20 years ago and it appears this boat was originally an inboard or I/O.

[@1972mdc]

Wild that it has no knees that I see. You would think you want that stress properly transferred across the bottom but I’m no engineer… It is a nice looking boat though

[@WhiteGangster400]

Anything Rybovich is pretty nice.

[@jb243wp]

You could put twin 400's on it, and still could under preform, what the average weekender doesn't realise that it's all about the prop, ya know that shiny thing that spins around in the water. Pitch, size, blades, etc, etc, etc. Horse power means nothing if the gear or torque ratios aren't correct 😉

[@Maynardd]

@@jb243wp The average KZbin watcher doesn’t realize it also depends on hull, trim tabs if they have them, lifting strakes, etc. And horsepower absolutely matters regardless. This is a small boat in the video, it should be much faster than it is. i’m 100% certain they understand trim, pitch of the prop, three blade, four blade, etc. My comment is based on the fact I have a 250 outboard that goes 44 miles an hour on a 25 foot tritoon and is a three blade. I put a four blade on and got 3 miles an hour more. Yippee! If I had twin 300s on it, it would break 60 mph no problem with the exact same set up I have. Because it’s more horsepower. The outboards could also be sitting too high, or too low. But something is absolutely off with this. A friend of mine has the exact same boat I have, but has a 300. On the right day he broke 55 miles an hour GPS. Same prop. Why? Because he has more horsepower.

Saying with a bad transom, you can have motors rip off with the torque and sink. Those motors are around $35k+ each so it would be a bad day if they didn't do the transom repairs.
