I Found The Cheapest Ski Boat At The JunkYard Saveable?

Whats going on yall today I bring you another boat rebuild its a 2001 Moomba V8 Ski Boat. It rough but I'm sure we can get it back on the water!

[@thejourneymen7722]

75% of flood damaged vehicles could be saved If the insurance companies would take care of the moisture issues right after the incident but instead they send them to auction yards where they sit for months and years on end slowly deteriorating to the point it’s cost prohibited to fix them.

[@WhereverHugo]

Yeah, you're right. Such a shame...

[@DArynBDeMoss]

Honestly just seems like that’s the plan all along. Makes for great YT content though

[@neoleomedia1676]

I believe it’s more cost effective, hence the just throwing vehicles away.

[@00nutt]

Heck yea!!! Love to see a good budget build!!! Shows everyone anything is possible!!!

[@SlightlyLessFat]

DUDE! That Holley carb is 100 times the Edelbrock carb your friend just soaked you for. I have the same engine and carb in my 1990 Supra Sunsport and it runs flawlessly! If you want EFI, look at the Holley Marine Sniper EFI system. Its what I want to run on my boat. Good deal on the Moomba though! Cant wait to see it done! Side note, the V-Drive is best for surf/wake board and direct gives you a flatter wake for slalom skiing. SOBs pop right up out of the water. Your Moomba wont ride like that Mastercraft though. The hulls are SO different! You will have more bow rise in your Moomba vs the MC but will most likely have the better ride in rougher water due to its deeper V hull.

[@thirdcargarage2951]

Wrong… An Edelbrock is a perfect choice for a non carb guy. Bolt on and run. The 750 Holley is too big for that motor. Boats are generally full throttle or idle. With a Holley you need to tune it, adjust it, spank it, jet it. The Edelbrock will just work out of the box and stay reliable. Especially with an electric choke. On a car I am racing, go Holley. On a boat…….anything but.

[@don9270]

@@thirdcargarage2951 I could not agree more. I have that same Edelbrock on my 1959 Chris Craft with a 5.0l v8 and that thing has been bulletproof and dirt simple to set up. The Holley's are fine for racing- but getting the jetting right, selecting the right power valves, and so on and so forth is a complete PITA and not worth it in a marine application. And yeah- the electric choke just works which is great.

[@briansmythe3219]

Thats Some Bonus Footage Bro glad that strap held LOL

[@robprice6573]

Great to have you back!! Glad your working on another boat.

[@Tjcooke18]

Love seeing these wake boat rebuilds. Keep doin em

[@seenred6969]

Keep these boat rebuilds going 🤙. It’s definitely motivation to get my boat going. Subbed!!

[@natesimmons8241]

Glad you found another one! With boat prices through the roof you have a couple gold mines there with both of those things!

[@shadowstorm_2496]

Heck ya another boat rebuild! So stoked to see this boat go from trash to really good! And that price made me laugh 😂. That awesome you got it for that price.

[@aekerr6080]

Ground wire is for the fuel filler deck plate (metal) to connect to the take and then connect to the common ground on the boat. This is to discharge any static electric charge build up on those metal parts which can be be dangerous when you are refueling. 1 small spark/arc + gas fumes = BOOM! Like seeing you do boat rebuilds, pretty cool stuff. I have done my own too, but mine was opposite of yours, exterior was in great shape, interior was rotten to the core. It was a total gutting of the boat and rebuilding.

[@evankennette1146]

I have a 2001 outback, its my first boat, put a lot of work into it and it runs so good.

[@coolissimo69]

Great to watch you back in business.

[@MazdaMiata-gt8kw]

Another boat rebuild! glad to see it :)

[@luizhairsalon3917]

LOVE YOUR PROJECTS, Texas is the holly place for boats, wish live there :)

[@maggie1767]

Glad to see more boat content!

[@MrJeddurso]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the final product. A 2001 Moomba for $5,000. That’s incredible!

[@uptownscenery9175]

425$

[@texasqueso5506]

Do you happen to have a wiring diagram for your Maristar?? I just bought a 2006 Mastercraft Maristar 200VRS and I need to redo the wiring, and can’t find a diagram to go off of! Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!! Love the videos!!

[@aaronzalez5508]

Hope to see you again at Sunset Marine Tx in Alvin for a windshield. The one you purchased for your previous boat rebuild worked out well.

[@FordManiac76]

Use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner on the stained white haul. Smear that blue crap all over the stains wait 15min and wash. bright white after but be sure to wax because it slightly etches the gel coat.

[@Chase.bachler]

Love the boat rebuilds. Glad to see another one!

[@etsonbarentine1223]

My summers looking good with more vids from you man.

[@martinmicheal4595]

Glad to see you back on the tube bro love the boat builds hope this baby works out

[@Ndepratti]

I DID miss you. More content please for I'm loving these videos!

[@JoeRocket-sf6qs]

Rebuilding carbs is not difficult and I enjoy it,it relaxes me.

[@conmanxtreme]

Nice find, I love my Moomba!

[@gonzaloviglino2305]

Love this ones bro!! Hell yeah

[@austincassell4741]

"Carb" guys who can't tune carbs -Holley's are junk buy an edlebrock 🤣🤣

[@MrSamdavidgm350]

Was just thinking that lol

[@boominS10]

Edlebrock is good, but that holley is gonna out perform it if he took the time to rebuild it

[@91Grunta]

Yep, I've missed you, great channel

[@waggy401]

Nice to see you back!

[@jmk2552]

Keep the boat rebuilds coming, would love to see a destroyed jet ski build

[@adamledford2068]

You should check with skiers choice I believe they used to have a life time warranty on all there gel coat . Might be worth looking into

[@Lawdogg12d15]

What is your windshield gus name? I'm looking for a windshield for a 1991 Ski Supreme. Hard to find parts for older ski boats. Like the boat builds!

[@tech88596]

‘I’m gonna do some sketchy shit, do-da - do da. Hope I get away with it…’ 🤣👍

[@variousthings6582]

Any updates? Love your boat rebuilds:)

[@trevorgulino9626]

Do you sell the boats off after fixing them? If so I’d be interested in getting one

[@ronaldharris6569]

West marine boat clean and you have an amazing bargain boat

[@rcpilot805]

I have a question… what are your opinions on rebuilding a newer boat? Like 2016 plus?

[@samscudder6951]

What are you going to do for the windshield?

[@mennoboon8037]

I am sure you can sell the boats fast and for a good price this year, there is less of everything, campers, boats, trucks etc👍

[@robertfolk4583]

Zep Orange clean and a kitchen sponge will clean up those seats like a charm. A bit of water and using the rough side of the sponge will clean the vinyl seats like a charm.

[@jgott1745]

Boat rebuilds are my absolute favorite!! @rebuilderguy, can’t you do a Holly EFI Sniper kit?

[@chriswise7142]

Can't be run on a marine engine, unfortunately. No spot for the O2 sensor in the marine manifolds.

[@ryan.graham]

What auction house do you look at these boats through?

[@zadengauthier5270]

How come you didn’t want the plexi glass windows? Wouldn’t it reduce weight but still have the same look?

[@faresan5486]

the rack you used to tie the nose of the boat to is there to help prevent a load falling over backwards. You will be a lot better off tying it off to the mast itself if you insist on lifting boats this way.

[@dudebro2288]

Is the ground for the stern white navigation light?

[@therebuildingitguy2799]

Who makes the windshield??!???? I need one for mine

[@coreybarrett8411]

What part of Texas? I would love to come help and be part of these boat rebuilds

[@Freydale]

Boat rebuilds are my favorite. Do you still have the nautique?

[@panteleon1]

i love the watsup watsup intro...

[@rickcollinsva]

They have a edit conversion kit for that little expensive but well worth it more power better throttle response and quick starts just all around better set up. I think it is Holley sniper Eli kit.

[@rickcollinsva]

Efi dam iPad spell correct lol

[@davidrogers9266]

Green wire on a boat indicates it is part of the bonding system. Bonding is closely related to cathodic protection and simply refers to the electrical interconnection of metallic objects (such as shafts, rudder stocks, struts, etc) that remain in common contact with water to protect against galvanic and stray current corrosion. Bonded metals are connected to an anode, which is a source of cathodic protection. Electrical resistance between an anode and bonded metals receiving protection from a cathodic protection system should be kept to a minimum and not exceed one Ohm.

[@luke.dantini191]

Have you still got the nautique?

[@BobWiersema]

Your fuel pump is on the engine. Almost positive I can see it at 10:55 on the right side of the engine (left as you look at it). Common carburetor stuff because you only need 6 to 10 lbs of fuel pressure.

[@mechanictaft4848]

The fuel pump is on the ENGINE .BUT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING just like I can get parts for that engine for a 1/4 of price what mercruiser charges but you already know that it took me 35 years to learn my tricks unless were friends your on your own I will give you one free tip its $21 for a rebuild kit for that carburetor

[@tucsonshop5713]

Is there more to this? I could only find part 1.

[@randyscott3386]

Ski boat in a boat dock on a lift durring a major snow and ice storm makes for a bad mix . Somewhere there was a lake loaded with ski boats on lifts in docks durring a snow and major ice storm . The used maket is loaded , or was with all the boats .

[@TheHarris1999]

How much would you sell the mastercraft for?

[@hotroder004]

The fuel pump should be on the engine (right side passenger) front mechanical pump if it has a carb on it ( I know it does )

[@anthoneyking6572]

Man you Love your Boats but if they make a Profit its all good Pleased you back at it again missed you lol

[@SmokyMountainsHauling]

shoulda just got a holley sniper efi. can get a used one for like $500-600

[@Bcool610]

Where do you go to look for these auctions I am very much so intersted

[@ronin61dk]

Any update on this build. You gonna sell it ? Maybe interested

[@MrSpiller1]

Is there a part 2 yet?

[@ddoutdoors88]

Is the mastercraft for sale!!?

[@Tomas-jx5xs]

Are you from Texas?

[@genemounce8302]

I was given a 1990 Brendella ski boat shell last Sunday. ya want it?

[@ronaldharris6569]

Good bye carb time for a Holley sniper and an MSD ignition better than factory after that

[@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093]

One restore would make it look brand new no painting

[@freeridew900]

That wire has to go to fuel cap assembly

[@ryansouza2579]

I second this comment. Green ground wire to fuel cap assembly.

[@bclaverenz1]

You Did Good

[@gplusgplus2286]

Cant believe noone bothered to buy it for the engine alone...

[@maccrazy2]

Works toilet bowl cleaner from Walmart will clean the discoloration/stains from the hull. Spray it on wait 2 minutes and hose it off.

[@jmudd5449]

For around 650.00 you could put fuel injection on it.

[@jakepowell8428]

Not true at all bro

[@jmudd5449]

Fiteck fuel injection.

[@jakepowell8428]

What about the o2 sensors bro I have 5 boats I’ve looked into in it about 1000 to 1200 for everything you need

[@jakepowell8428]

@@jmudd5449 lol it’s like 1000 and it doesn’t have the risers

[@BrandonLayMusic]

Come on y’all carbs ain’t that bad are they? Not like you drive your boy to work. I’m old school to a fault but I’d take a Holley 750 anyway over some Mickey Mouse throttle body kit

Budget builds are the boats whose hulls develop unexpected leaks as the bottom gelcoat/fiberglass breaks off 2 miles off shore.

[@jordanheeney2377]

16:50 is the most terrifying thing i've ever seen

[@boominS10]

Same exact windshield used by Bayliner

Put a Holley EFI kit on it

[@kenwest2699]

Do they make them for boats would love to know?

[@don9270]

Where are you going to put the O2 sensors?

[@nickmulvey5818]

It would be really cool to see you put a modern fuel injected v8 in for a budget and show how it’s done

[@Pontiac65Cat]

Fuck that. Keep the carburetor. Simple. Easy. Can fix it out on the water if something happens. I’ve towed in countless boats that were fuel injected that had issues, with my 1963 Glen l with a 283 and a 4bbl Carter carb. Mines never given me in issue in over 20 years.

[@brandonsrednicki6173]

I'll take the holley carb if your going to trash it

[@cootingram6265]

Why not wrap it?

[@Denzeltheshepard6200]

What's the name of that song in your intro

[@ColinPrince]

Really enjoyed the video. It seems strange to me that a boat would sink! Looking forward to it’s rebirth!

[@turtleking_0764]

when is the next update?

[@davidfarmer2049]

Did it hurt having those tattoos done?

[@Pontiac65Cat]

Unfortunately carbureted? That’s a plus. Less shit to go wrong. If that thing was fuel injected and neglected like that you’d have all kinds of issues. Carbs are easy to fix.

[@ameyers67]

No doubt there is broken glass and crap under that cap keeping it from going back down.

[@johnironside1850]

What ever happened with this boat ???

[@swissroll71]

What’s up What’s up!!!

[@vincevanderbijl2203]

that green wire attached to all the metal parts should be grounding out to a sacrificial anode to prevent corrosion of all those metal parts

[@themikehoncho]

What a bummer 10 months without an update

[@paulcollins9197]

It has a holly carb that's good

[@DesertSurfer]

Save the money skip the tower thats a ski boat and folks will pay for the pureity of a direct drive ski boat. Roll the Maristar for surfing and wakeboarding.
