We Started the Sunk Mercury Verado 300 !

When you go boldly you don't do it sometimes you do it all the time ! The unbelievable story of Black Betty the 10M Fluid Rib Boat that spit an engine because of improperly used mounting bolts.This is a Story of never giving up and not giving in to the haters and the Naysayers.
Two Cuban/Americans from Miami went back with two divers and recovered the Sunken Mercury Verado 300Hp after being underwater 11 days. The moral of this epic saga is that you should never give up no matter the circumstances!
Huge Special thanks to the Following Companies:
South Florida Marine Center (Eric and Jeremy)
The Boat Center (Sean Will and Phil)
Marine Express in Hialeah (Oscar Ozzie)
Monster Marine (Erick)
Carrera Powerboats (Anthony and Al
Sirocco Marine Fort Lauderdale (Boyd)
All the people that encouraged us to never give up and helped a lot along the way.

I believed VROOM VROOM. Happy Birthday buddy!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Vrooooom vrooooom vroooooom !

[@RS-cd9cf]

@@AlfredMontaner just found your videos and have to say I’m proud of you guys , I know that Cubans are very resilient and go far and beyond to get the job done . Who else do you know that can take a 55 Chevy and install a carburetor from a Russian car and make that 55 run again !

[@Croiseeman]

for sale, lightly used motor never in salt water. Owner wants gone.

[@RobertGarcia-mk6ph]

Never had a doubt Alfred. I started watching your channel just before the engine was lost and have been watching feverishly ever since. Both you guys have done a fantastic deed of recovering the engine from the ocean protecting the environment and went the extra mile to restore the engine. Much respect my friends!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josegarcia5788]

Congrats Alfredo great work by your mechanic Rodolfo and some times we overlook little things like the bleeding of a line and that causes a no-start situation but the man is a master a very need assembler that requires lots of experience and I'm very impressed with the man that came to help you start the motor that he didn't make Rodolfo feel stupid and treated the man with his due respect. Happy birthday to you and a happy conclusion to the rest of the people involved in this mini-series. DALE! CABALLO

[@5150-b6u]

Wow 😮 congratulations. And thumbs up 👍 to all the haters that said it couldn’t be done.

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

I find it amazing how surprised people are that it runs and good. That's a merc. Ya know how many we save down here in Louisiana. In the swamps. Plenty. Best motor ever. I have 300 on my boat right now. Pushes a load so easy

[@patrickcooper9641]

Alfred, you are a fantastic person surrounded by such good employees and friends...........Love the way you work and I absolutely love your videos!

[@remythemaltipoo]

Alfred you and Rodolfo represent the best of the American spirit. The resurrection of that motor is a metaphor for the resurgence of the U. S. as the best country to succeed in regardless of your beginnings. Love your videos, keep them coming. VIVA OLD NOVURANIA RIBS!

[@64aqualife]

Hey! Love your passion! That did the trick! The never quit mantra is the way to live the life! Forget these haters, they probably don't have anything to live for and that's their choice, they can do anything they want to if they change their attitude! Congratulations and really glad that's going to a charity which is even more cool! I am a charity kind of guy!

You guys are awesome. You persevered, kept your chin up and positively lead the project to a successful outcome. I know firsthand how that feels and it is magnificent. Congratulations!

[@BETTYRIDESHARD]

Mercury should use your video as a promotion! I have a couple of the older version 275 hp with 1200 hours which are attached to a 32 ft Boston Whaler. They have been flawless. You gave a whole new confidence level to Verado.

[@MIAthe305]

YOOO you better go back to that part shop and demand your $1Million (and the BK 🤣) Congrats bro! Lots of hard work, blood, sweat and tears went into this project - this shows you’re not looking for the easy way out - and giving it away to charity speaks volumes about your character. Well done homie 🤙🏻

Rodolfo worked his tail off on that thing. And he did a great job, but even his skilled effort needed just one more volunteer's input. And you got it. Congratulations, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[@FF-lx2ro]

Congrats! I love following this story! Never miss an episode!

[@bcabmac]

After salvaging multiple boat motors several times from underwater, then getting them running again. While it may run excellent initially. Over time the Gremlins will show up. Almost entirely electrical. Rebuild starter generator, recondition, use anti corrosion methods. Overtime you will get shorts and faults, ignition issues. Take apart and clean every electrical connection. Replace wiring that had insulation exposed. Corrosion will ultimately screw with impedance or resistance values for sensors. Your starter may take a crap shortly. Coil packs can fail. Pull all electrical components off, look for anything water breached. Replace it. Use dielelectric grease on wire end before crimping and on terminals and surfaces. Use the industrial kind utility companies use for electric boxes and other connections. No auto store junk. Do that and you won't experience the misery that usually follows within the year. An amazing recovery and resurrection.

[@piotrmangard2090]

Finally it's alive, good job man, I like your positive narration it keeps people motivated and make us believe anyting can be achieved with motivation and hard work!
