It's ironic that you do fantastic restorations on boats you buy...yet the Jon boat is in a terrible state... c'mon it deserves some love 😱

i had a 9.5 johnson when they first came out around 1970 paid 400 new. sold it a couple years later out of my trunk in a bar for 250. pretty much sight unseen. i wish i had that motor still

Hey boat guy, I was told on The Hondas when using muffs to put a piece of tape over the inlet just above the propeller, Near the trim tab. It pumps out a lot better when you do that and keeps it from overheating. This comes right from a Honda dealer. I have the adapter for a hose that screws into the side, but I found the muffs to be a lot easier. Take care buddy, I watch a Channel all the time

[@sourhour9054]

Love these vids man i love watching these motors go from bad shape to basically new

[@HanSolo__]

Haven't seen any in bad shape. Come to Poland. You will buy an almost new outboard Honda 25HP at a Honda dealer and when back home it will explode because it is worn out to nothing. No refunds: "Fcuk off! You saw what you are buying!" - that's how it would look like in the court. Case closed. What's the deal with cleaning? He uses Karcher to clean it and some spray paint. Maybe should start rebuilding V6 Yamaha engines?

[@1ihnut]

I've learned a freakin lot watching your vids. Thanks.

[@billco-9801]

Suggestion! Build a semi-permanent weight box for the front of the craftsman if you are going to be using it as a boat tug. Make sure you can still open hood. I have barbell weights (150 lb.) on a removable bar hanging about 12 in. in front of front axel. I damn near flipped mine towing a 19ft boat, mow I can tow my partially loaded dump trailer with ease.

[@waynecasper5346]

Those are good mowers I ran and use the crap out of one just like that with a 18 hp Briggs cutting 5 acres to nearly 8 years

[@vtwinaddicted5852]

Thanks for the link to the pressure washer, video idea, you should post your speed on all the different 25hp engines you had on that boat...

[@johnwalker7592]

Solo? Probably like 25 knots there.. That skiff weighs almost nothing.

[@brocluno01]

A lot of those little garden tractors have grease fittings on top the rear axle hub/flange where the axle exits. Keep em greased so the weight of the trailer tongue does not eat the axles or housing.

[@waynecasper5346]

You’re one lucky dog we don’t have any like that around here in Watkinsville Ga. Congratulations again you lucky dog.

Add a front receiver to your lawn tractor to move your boats. It makes life easer.

[@arjovenzia]

ran one of these for 2 weeks, 6 hrs a day, on a safety boat for a yachting regatta. really nice little donk. must admit im a bit of a yamaha fanboy, but off the back of that experience, id not hesitate on a honda either. these were hardworking little boats. the only thing i didnt like about the experience was they had high torque props fitted, so not as nippy as I would have liked, but thats not the motors fault. and they could tow a stricken yacht 3x their size, which was kinda the point.

[@chinadave2854]

For future reference quick way to tell if locked up [put in gear turn the prop and watch the top of the motor no movement is a bad sign. From an old timer.

That was a good buy...i bought an 85hp for my boat for 400 and changed 2 spark plugs and it fired right up...the motor that was on my boat was a 125 and my boat is only rated to 90 so I sold the 125 and got some more fishing gear and had money left over for other unnecessary stuff. Lol
