[@charlesalden9167]

Congratulations Makay got his childhood Campbell boat its really nice. This is living proof dreams can come true

[@schabel]

My wife asked what to get me for my birthday coming up, I said "Merlins Old School Garage T-shirt merch! Duh"

[@1954shadow]

Mines on the 11th of October, a MOSG t-shirt is a great idea.

[@Kentucky921]

Congrats to McKay for his dream but, I saw a Harley Electra glide when I was a kid, I was 10, long story short at 65 I bought one, you are never too old to chase your dream

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

Mine too- the 27th!😁

[@Gossamer314]

I’m on the 18th

[@donwilliams3626]

Welcome aboard Makay. Glad to see you and Merlin having fun and building the channel.

[@JohnWilliams-nj2nd]

This is by far, my favorite episode you've done. Seeing Makay get get his dream boat is the best. Congrats Dude!!

[@georgevindo]

Makay looks like a happy customer! Thanks for the video.

[@centralcoastcamper9631]

I just love those old school day cruisers. Back in the 80's I would rip across Lake Havasu in my 21' Sleek Craft day cruiser. With a 350 Chevy and Mercruiser out drive it would hit 60 mph in calm water. My Buddy ran a 21' Caribbean day cruiser with a big block Chevy and Bravo 1 out drive he could hit 70 mph. Those were the days. Thanks for the memories......................This old Cali boy misses Havasu

[@allangooge7871]

Beautiful boat. That’s a happy man , sorry , couple! 😂👍🏻🇬🇧

[@lchebuhar9212]

Makay found himself a real gem!💪👍🏼

[@UncleManuel]

You guys almost had a "Matt moment" there with the fuel tank(s)... 😁😁😁😜

[@clivehorridge]

43 years young that boat, what a credit to its previous owner(s)… good find. You could add to its name, “Get’n bye Makay” 🤣❤️🇷🇴

[@hathar1750]

Congrats Makay. The smile tells you enough !!

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Living the Good Life, I think it’s awesome to have McKay helping out on the Videos as I see it He is Right Up there with Jet Ski Jimmy & that’s quite the Compliment. I’m Sure Jimmy would agree to that🤣. Thank You Folk’s for a Great Time out on that Beautiful Lake, while Hating My Life Decisions. Stuck In Pennsylvania without McKay and His Lovely Wife. Catch you on the next one, Keep It Safe Out There Fella’s

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

That is a cool boat. Glad he found what he wanted. The vintage boats just have so much more character.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

For sure 👍

[@royb.1441]

That’s great that we are going to see McKay (sry if spelling wrong ) more often! He seems fun and really cool!

[@user-ix4dl1dy7q]

It’s amazing you drive across the country look for a yard full of old treasures and you find new friends

[@davidfarmer1666]

McKay, the boat looks new. Doesn't look like a 78 at all. Sounds good and runs well. Saw the name and like that too.

[@tomrowe7534]

In the early 70’s we were on a family vacation in Vegas. We had a place in McGregor Iowa on the Mississippi and boated with a 21’ Skiff Craft plank wood boat that I think was made by the Amish in Ohio. It was a deep V and very good river boat. We stumbled on a boat dealer that had a boat very much like McCay’s Campbell. I’m not sure of the make but I remember it was primarily white with multi colored metallic green graphics. I’m pretty sure it was new and my dad negotiated the sale price to $10,000. My mom was livid. Needless to say my mom won out by threatening divorce. I don’t think they spoke for the rest of the trip which made for a long ride back home in the Country Squire. I’ve never forgotten that boat. Awesome boat that brought back a ton of memories. Thanks for taking us along

[@doedeesgirl]

Hey! It’s my Uncle Makay!! He’s kind of my favorite 😍 love that man to death 💀 ❤

[@makaycampbell1682]

Love you too

[@jerilynscarpa3179]

❤

[@buckyhurford3424]

Super cool. I have been wanting that exact same boat for 20 years. Someday it will happen. She sounds so good. Congratulations to McKay

[@DJ-hv4ju]

Big Brother is always watching you!

[@stoneshrink]

Campbell boats (especially the day cruisers) ride so nice. Congrats, color me jealous.

[@justinmills8084]

Your cheese, rice and rattle day snakes, is a crack up. I did it for two years in NC so I get it. 😆 🤣 😂

[@markreetz1001]

I saw the chopper, and immediately thought "what did Merlin and Makay do now? 🤠

[@RR-iv6fm]

Wow, nice boat and I thought I went fast with a glide and a v-drive. Not much will be,“get’n bye” Makay with that set up. And the trailer is just as nice.

[@hubiesgarage]

What a beautiful Campbell! I would love to find a 20' Spectra Day Cruiser full stringer with a 454/jet. Great day on the lake! The Blackhawk was an added bonus too. Keep up the great work on the channel, one of my favorites to follow!

[@scottg391]

You don't see boats that old in that kind of condition, ever. The previous owner must have spent every waking moment slathering wax on it.

[@douglasthompson3787]

Congratulations Makay on your new boat she's beautiful very nice you will be making great memories on the water

[@thomashuttunen4205]

Aloha from Kona Makay. Long time no see. I'm still here building Hot Rods. Tommy

[@lewismocaby3646]

Really good lookin day cruiser, glad to see that McKay found what he’s been lookin for. Was really surprised to see that it’s a v-drive, was expecting to see a jet drive setup. The throttle kinda threw me as well. Half expected it to have a hot foot with that throttle lever used for the transmission linkage. Learn something new every day.

[@toddmccarter45]

1:53 thats interesting, indoor fans with pressed cardboard "wood" or whatever fan blades do the same in humid climats when used outside

[@inlangford]

Awesome sauce!

[@bobtucker8875]

Very sweet boat. Thanks 👍 for sharing guys. Have fun an be safe.

[@adamformanack318]

Reminds me of a old skipjack thats been river&party boated out 😎💯✌

[@inlangford]

Looks like a very cool old boat! Your channel is so chill!! I'm driving to check out the london bridge, among other cool stuff, early next month on a road trip from vancouver island!

[@robertf4540]

Congratulations McKay! That is a sweet boat!

[@1944chevytruck]

CONGRATS!.... NO MORE WOOD STOVES!

[@bradleymadosh911]

I would love to live there. I love in Wisconsin or the Menominee Indian Reservation and I hate winter. It gets so cold and lasts forever 😭

[@joeshmoe1436]

Welcome to the channel makay , nice boat

[@barrysimmons5489]

It's always great when yer able to attain a longtime goal. Congratulations! Hope y'all have many happy boating hours .

[@BG-vq9fd]

Nice old classic. I had an 82 Sanger v-drive but always wanted a Schiada. I came close one time it had a 540ci big block tall deck with Barry Grant built carb, THM400, Casale, and cavitation plates. I rode and drove the boat on lake Gogebic in the UP of Michigan. I still regret not taking it home.

[@dennisrich6577]

Congratulations Makay 💪

[@jerryb1234]

I'm glad you've gotten some help with the channel Merlin, Makay seems like a pretty cool dude,😎, thanks for sharing guys.

[@richardharvey8939]

[@barrymcmillin1078]

Tim brokers some really nice floats. Glad that Makay got his childhood dream boat, I'm waiting on my 25 Eliminator with big power, it's good for the Lower River Junkies part of the river and the occasional trip to Havasu. Thanks for the great channel Merlin...

[@makaycampbell1682]

My last boat was a 28 eliminator eagle ironically purchased from merlin

[@jeffclark2725]

[@redwetjet67]

Love all of these water type video`s you`ve been posting! Congrats to Makay for getting the boat he`s dreamed of owning and it`s a lefty? Very cool old school!!

[@MichaelOliveras-qv8jt]

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Nice boat

[@dockranz]

Wow. Same last name, Spelled the same. Having seen too many people with our last name and that spelling. Pleasure to meet you sir. Makes me wonder if we aint long lost family. 😅. You have a good day, sir., Pleasure to meet you. ✌️ Dennis Kranz. Kind of a coincidence the guy above got the same first name, And you have the same last name, As mine. And the 3 of us are watching Merlin's video.😅 Life sure is funny sometimes. ✌️. Just in case it matters, My family came from The North of the United States. Of course, the great elders come from Germany.

[@pgg0024]

Always nice to go out on the lake. Just took mine out for the last time this season since it got up to 60 degrees outside
