In this video Peter learns the true meaning of BOAT Break Out Another Thousand

[@Peron1-MC]

or the classic. a boat is a hole in the ocean you pour money into. XD looks great tho :)

[@requiemforameme1]

Two best days of a boat owner’s life.. I guess for Peter the third happiest days are when videos are published.

[@Maungateitei]

Only if you are stupid. He could have stuck an automotive turbodiesel in instead and spent less than a grand, had more horsepower, and far less weight. That thing may not even get that boat on the plane, with its pork, and not enough HP at hull speed rpm to get out of the hole.

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

​@@Maungateiteithat's for folks that do stuff like this. Folks familiar with how to marinize it or run it on a closed loop cooling system. But buying a decent Cummins sure isn't happening for a grand.

[@ToreDL87]

@@goosenotmaverick1156 Yeah and look at this motor, probably has more power than the obsolete "chuff chuff chuff chuff" affair that Peter pulled out of the boat. I've kept my eyes on the market because I've been wanting to Cummins swap a Nissan Patrol. Even automotive Cummins motors are extremely expensive because of the KZbin hype. Then for marine use you need to rebuild it for reliability, last thing that fails has to be your engine. Ocean travel is more perilous than let on, especially to those who haven't informed themselves and with no experience.

​@@Sun-ut9gr I was about to ask if the motor was super screwed up but I didn't want to go through the old video. I do remember that the driveshaft was absolutely munted.

[@Roberto-oi7lm]

Too late for you, but for anyone else doing a job like this, consider using an Aquadrive coupling. It's basically a short piece of shaft with a CV joint on each end; something like a front wheel drive car axle. It allows for a significant difference in the alignment of the engine and prop shaft and offers several benefits. You can mount the engine on very soft mounts to reduce vibration without worry that you will damage the prop shaft stuffing box because of excessive movement. And you can mount the engine more level even if your prop shaft is not perfectly level. But the best advantage is that you can mount a thrust bearing on an intermediate bulkhead so that the prop thrust loads are taken by a dedicated thrust bearing and that eliminates the driving thrust being transferred into your expensive transmission, saving wear and tear. They're not overly expensive either.

[@TekedixXx]

That second to last sentence brought be back to drivers ed when the teacher told us to always engage the parking break before you pull your foot off the breaks so the shifting weight of the car doesn't rest on your transaxle pin and wear it out over time. Bigger problem on older automatics apparently.

[@popuptoaster]

The downside to all that is that you are adding more points of failure which is not good on a single engined boat.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

@@popuptoaster Boats are points of failure. One must accept that as a reality of maritime life.

[@sundayromance7253]

Yea what the guy said 😂 hes right ya know

[@badluck-cp8bv]

@@SetitesTechAdventures well... less PoF's (Points of Failure) is always a benefit 'cuz , like u said , boats are a giant point of failure but the thing is ; the hull is a SECONDARY PoF , MOST OF THE TİME , meaning u need smth bad to happen , for the hull to fail! of course the hull itself might fail on its own but its a very low chance , therefore , having less PRİMARY PoF's (meaning these PoF's are more likely to go off on their own) is a prime benefit Also im not saying your wrong , its just "constructive critisizim" (i actualy dont have a word to explain what this comment is as its an explanation/critisizim for someones logic so ... uhh ... idk i guess)

[@largeleif]

I know this is a huge project but I'm all about it. You're doing such a good job and making that boat look so salty. I can't wait until it's finished.

[@DatBoiOrly]

16:05 i would recommend you get some heat shield's on the exposed exhaust pipe & a exhaust flapper for the end of the pipe so when it isn't running it won't hydrolock since it's not going to be run every day of the year

[@jakeschmautzful]

I work for a company that makes removable insulation blankets for exactly that purpose (among others). They also keep you from burning yourself.

[@remyllebeau77]

I wouldn't mind having longer videos. Really enjoying the project. :)

[@NoblePineapples]

I would be totally okay with longer videos as well.

[@BenjaminAbbitt]

It's a shame that longer, more detailed videos are going the way of the newspaper. People want instant gratification, not the opportunity to learn. Hence shorts and tiktok. Nothing against that in moderation, sometimes it's fun, but it should be balanced. I wish there was more detail, longer videos.

[@Bruh-fc7ik]

My great grandfather who was a mech engineer did something very similar to the project you’ve undertaken (not a lobster boat, but a fishing boat with similar beam and draft, wanna say about 38 ft LOA). Finishing it was an absolute money pit, and so was maintaining it. Instead of getting a fancy car and a big house, he put his cash into the boat. I’m sure to some it was a questionable life decision, but even in the decade after he passed, everyone in the family still reminisces about the time they spent on it and the countless memories they made. TLDR, it might be a pain in the ass and wallet, but it’ll bring value in other ways. Happy you could update us on the project, keep it up Peter!

[@GearheadENG]

That's one reason I don't mind my $5k covered slip lease payment and my $40k Searay Sundacer 310. It's a lot of money to operate and maintain, but the memories are priceless.

[@lotuselanplus2s]

Hi, 8 dont know if you realise but you have aligned the engine to the prop shaft but you will need to do it again after the boat goes in the water as the hull shape will change between propped up on its keel on land and floating in the water , just a heads up, great job so far.

[@usanaluoma]

Very true for most wooden boats we work on. The glass or metal ones not as much but we still check after it splashes back in.

[@akidafloof]

very nice setup. it is odd to be that primitive to be that precise. I worked on a lobster boat. novy fat beam. The shaft wobbled like a jump rope, the engine from a japanese tractor trailer..straight pipe to the sky... over 100db right next to us. Keep on truckin.

[@charlesharper7292]

Dude, from toy planes, to toy boats, to this very cool real boat. You've come a ways! Proud of you! 👍👍🤠

[@richfromtang]

When replacing old wood. Paint new wood before installing, then paint again and seal up cracks and seams after the install. This way, if the old wood you left behind has any trace of rot, the new wood will be unaffected.

[@EmyrDerfel]

Also, protects the wood from moisture you can't see.

[@andrewshoe6832]

This is, by far, my favorite build series on youtube. So fun seeing the progress. Well done!

[@FallenDj122]

Dude you changed this boat completely in the absolute best way! it looks soo freaking good!! i can't wait to see it in the water, also that motor is badass! and sick work with the alignment, i bet your motor is a lot more in line than most boats that'll be in the water

[@handlemchandleson1]

be careful with your diesel heater exhaust you might want to find a more horizontal mounting method those mufflers have a drip hole for condensation on the bottom of them just to let you know! Loving the boat

[@Peron1-MC]

oh are you thinking he might flood the engine if it rains? i suppose if it comes straight from the turbo.

[@Yoshikaable]

Great job on that precision fit! Maybe it is beyond the normal spec, but it can't hurt!

[@dougaltolan3017]

And then the whole hull flexes when it goes in the water.

[@simonallan9941]

I think you really should have a marine exhaust, they're so much better for fumes noise heat and vibration, also the water cooling down the exhaust also cools down the exhaust gas, which acts like a vacuum effect shrinking of the gas helps boost and fuel efficiency, air exhausts are so intrusive and always interrupt conversations lol, when you're trying to have a quiet cruise, what an excellent job, my brother is a boat builder Annapolis from New Zealand, and he also loves overkill, good on you and thanks for sharing your very professional experience.

[@danielleohallisey4218]

[@joshuaedwards3047]

This is easily my favorite project out of your channel so far. Really looking forward to seeing it again in a few months.

[@DracoOmnia]

The cooling system on these is pretty cool. You've got coolant that cools the "jacket" in the engine (engine block and other heat sensitive engine stuff) the raw water pump sucks seawater through a strainer (to protect the pump and jacket water system from sea junk/trash) and goes through a liquid to liquid heat exchanger that keeps the coolant and raw water seperate. The raw also cools your intake air. The boats I worked with ran two of these engines rated at 425hp and I spent 5 years working with them 😅

[@workingdiligently8458]

i'm sure someone has noted it - but you should probably change out the seawater impeller- running it dry can really hurt it.

[@adlwarth373]

Was about to say the same thing, running the engine dry kills the impeller, no more than one minute run and it's done, worse if yo rev it. Make sure when you change it to look it for rubber pieces in the water channels, that cloggs the pipelines. The changing is easy, something like this: kzbin.infoJ4SX0MvVu_Y?si=5O6P1hODPVeYYvnQ

[@marekdenn]

He says he disconnected the water pump for the testing

[@calvinwright5040]

That's awesome! Good work! The only thing I could recommend is a air cutoff for the motor intake! Can prevent a runaway from destroying the motor. $200 can save you a $20,000 repair!

[@the_retag]

And possibly exhaust blocker. Double is better. Als the air cutoff needs to be extremely solid to resist runaways

[@paulholm4827]

Four cycle engine. Run away very unlikely.

[@MikeyisNinja]

The coolant inside the engine is called jacket water, and it heat exchanges with the raw water(sea water)

[@ac.creations]

Yea its raw because its less efficient with cooked water. Temperature differentials blah blah

[@akidafloof]

@@ac.creations ok smartass

[@esqueue]

@@ac.creations The reason why a heat exchanger is used is that the sea water is contaminated with things that you don't want circling around in your engine. You have temperature controlled coolant (lower freezing and higher boiling point than plain water) which has many additives to prevent damage to the engine and cooling system.

[@ac.creations]

@@esqueue @esqueue yes I know that a heat exchanger is I made a joke about raw seawater

[@ethanteagarden6585]

I work at a smaller fab shop and just wanted to say that was a really good “first” weld on a ladder out of position like that…props to you

[@bensidsaph4349]

Hey man great progress so far. Just be careful running the engine out of the water if you have the sea water pump fitted, you can do it with a hose connected otherwise the impeller will get trashed, they are rubber and need the water for lubrication. When you do get round to putting her in the water keep an impeller in a bag near the engine with some tools, sometimes the pump will suck up things like trash bags or the strainer will get blocked with silt causing the impeller to lose water and fail, the first you will probably know is when your engine overheats and then cuts out. It’s useful to be able to change one quickly to keep you out of brown town. Fair sailing

[@Melanie16040]

@@patricktennant1585 Did you hear it sunk because they didn't winterize it? Too busy worrying about car engine blocks cracking and going around to drain water from them... Said they thought because the water the boat was in wasn't frozen, they didn't need to do anything to the boat.
