[@dwebster50]

I have been around for 73 years & besides my stepson , Chris is the brightest mechanical , father , husband , you tuber & more important very clever nice man . I would be proud to be around you as a friend or neighbour . I had a 27 ft cuddy 350 in the St. Lawrence 1000 island boating for 10 years. Yes I paid $20,000 and you won yours for 500 . My hat comes off for you, you are the Best on You Tube 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@thermos750]

I used to live in Gananoque, close enough drive to the Islands, Hwy. 32 that crossed from Gan to Hwy 15! Great area, big boats. Gan had a lot of work back in the day in the town, now not much. Great when it's busy with tourists, but the Casino keeps that town alive!!

The builder of your boat, Glennis "Glenn" Dexter Doyle, 61, died Tuesday, February 18, 2003 at St. Josephs Hospital in Savannah. Mr. Doyle was born August 16, 1941 in Franklin County, VA to the late Henry Richard Doyle and Mary Virginia McMillian Doyle. He was a self-employed boat manufacturer in Baxley. Survivors: wife, Robin Doyle of Baxley

Impressive diagnosis and repair, especially considering how fast you made it happen. I'd probably spend 6 months figuring all that out and solving it. Well done Sir! Cool video!

I don’t know about 6 but pulling that out drive and replacing that bearings definitely a month of solid weekends.

Chris, you stole that boat for $500! I cant believe you wont keep that one, its the nicest one you have refurbished. And for $4500 is even better deal. Congrats on the baby too, your gonna make an awesome daddy!!

Because the previous owner knew of figured something was seriously broken with the engine or transmission deal.

[@perplxxd]

we scored a similar boat back in like 2018 for about $750. unfortunately the engine in it was locked up solid. still managed to flip it to someone who planned to swap a new one in a few months later! was just a super lucky night of browsing marketplace and it came up. original owner kinda just threw his used beer cans in it after it blew up on the lake so we spent a while actually cleaning the interior.

[@mrjoshua6979]

As others said the bag of rocks absorbs moisture. Keeps the seats n cushion from mildewing. You can recharge them by tossing the entire thing in oven at like 250 for couple hours it will dry them out and they will soak even more moisture like when they were new

[@kaprentice]

Nice score on the boat. I had to pay almost $500 for two tires the other day and you're getting a boat like that. I guess that makes me jealous.(I am). Love watching you work on stuff you are the mechanic I wish I was. Jen is looking great and Gus is having the time of his life even if he doesn't know it. Keep doing what you're doing as it makes most of us happy and I for one am waiting for that little addition to come along.

[@brianpulaski5396]

A tip for removing and reinstalling these outdrives. Unbolt the trim rams at the transom as well. Instead of trying to work the outdrive between them, you just strap them up out of the way and give yourself more room to wrestle the outdrive on/off. Edit* just got to the reinstall portion and see you remove them! Makes life so much easier.

[@ar2043]

That really is a sharp looking boat with sporty lines. I've never heard of them before but… I like them… or at least I like the way they look!!! Great vid and what a fantastic and full day out on the water. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

If you put a product called Krud Kutter (sold at Menards ect) into a pressure washer "foam cannon" and spray it on every surface of your boat...wait 10 minutes and spray off. Works like magic on literally everything, safe and biodegradable enzymatic cleaner/degreaser

I did it with a car, a 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau, I bought it from some dealer in Oregon had it shipped to my home in San Diego for 10k-blown motor, but the body and interior was in mint condition, pulled the motor, completely rebuilt it stock (390 FE 6.4 L) cut a turn and a half from the front springs added 15x7 rims, low profile tires, I already had offers for 30k on it but it was fun doing it!

[@paulmiller7276]

I’ve watched this twice now and that is such a nice boat Chris. I’m thinking that the owner was given a huge repair estimate and decided to get rid of it. Fortunately he sold it to a repair tech who could fix it. Definitely was in fresh water because it’s so clean. Nice to keep or a money maker! Jet

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear NNKH Chris. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, what a great purchase! Congratulations! 🎉 The boat looks, runs and sounds really, really good. Every time you have a good running boat, I think respectively hope, that you keep it this time. My favourite was the bass dumpster (where even a 4-wheeler could be put on). But of course it's mainly about repairing and afterwards selling stuff on this channel to make room for more neglected vehicles. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved humans and animals.

Hey Chris, if you don't want to do all that buffing there is a quick easy way to make that thing look like new. After washing the nastiness off of it, shoot a coat of clear coat on it and it will look like new. I just did a 91 VIP VICTORY on my channel and the yellow was rough looking. Looks like new now. And a hell of a lot faster than buffing
