Who Gave Merlin a Chain Saw? Operation Shipwreck Getting Cleaned Up... But for What?

[@marvincarter870]

It's sad that the engine couldn't be salvaged for other use. You guys had fun and did a lot of work!

[@ApacheBob41]

4 bolts holding the A/C in, Genius.

[@georgevindo]

Mercruiser could use that in an ad for sure. You guys have too much fun! Thanks for the video.

[@susansmith-franks684]

Sharpening the most dangerous power tool known to man with the 2nd most dangerous power tool - classic Merlin! 😂❤

[@eugenenelson5398]

That boat looked like it could have been rebuilt into a nice party barge,just saying.

[@ronaldsears834]

That was painful to watch

[@jjbjjb6547]

I don't want you guys to help me move! EVER! 😂

[@NickManCuso59]

That boat engine kinda sounds like the African Queen ! 🤣

[@John-bx8km]

😂😂😂

[@paulcooper9135]

Those old straight sixes may have been gutless wonders ... but they were as close to indestructible as possible. Gonna make a fun Dive site if she lands right side up! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@kimetherington2252]

"There she blows," Not. Who would have thought you could start an engine that is underwater and it run for 20 mins? Crazy right? Not if Merlin, Brad, Makay, and the rest of the gang come to the rescue! You can believe whatever needs to happen happens! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

[@VernLang-m7o]

Nice very cool project thanks for sharing this adventure with us!

[@paulshannon4576]

Whistling Diesel has NOTHING on you boys. 🤣🤣🤣

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

That air conditioner was installed with a few screws and brackets. The chainsaw was both Overkill and Entertaining. Like Demolition Day on a home improvement show, the unnecessary use of the sledgehammers makes for more time for cleanup and better television.

[@jeffstephens7958]

Thanks Merlin watching you video today wae a great pick me up sit here in the hospital my gallbladder died had to have emergency surgery thanks to you and the crew

[@bigjay6743]

I know a lot of people are saying it probably but that old boat could have been put on dry dock and saved. I would think there would be lots of people that would Have wanted that boat.

[@pgnandt]

No slips with hookups available.

[@brentcason4353]

Merlin can get anything running it’s amazing

[@jackvaughn6667]

That motor gives new meaning to the term water cooled.

[@Sullysspirit]

❤😂❤ Brings me back to that young girl and daddy's 73 Nordic! Long live echo lodge And daddy's boat warlord. He was in a boat Club then, all dudes had to name war and he picked Lord. That was with Coors can in hand on shore. Back then, they showed off early on the water. Then the party on shore began, strawberry wine, Harvey wall bangers. Good thing we had angels over seeing the wild ones❤

[@steven.h0629]

Dang, that was a lot of work. Gotta admire how well it was built.

[@zdiver1]

Should get with local Dive shops and sink it in 50 feet of water and make a dive site with it. It will quickly become a fish habitat.

[@Yuccabillybrad]

Great idea! Only a few would appreciate that idea.

[@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage]

yup sounds like a plan🏁🇺🇸🔧😊

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Never saw anyone sharpen a chainsaw with a electric grinder before did not know such thing as possible​@@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage

[@zdiver1]

@@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage The A/C hole will be popular for a swim through. I was lucky to dive the WWII Japanese Sunk ships at Truk Lagoon and Palau Micronesia.

[@pgnandt]

Our local dive club will find it.

[@alkennedy1124]

Poor little 6 banger, poor little things, lol Rest In Peace ☮️ six cylinder, 15 minutes, lol thanks BigAl California

[@larryalexander4833]

If anyone remembers the Lucas commercials for the engine running without oil. This has to have had some Lucas or super oil treatments. Rip one tough marine inline 6💪😢

[@TOm-g9x8f]

A lifetime of learning, expertise and wisdom, and grown men are teenagers again... .."Run'er till she blows!"....😮😢😂😅😊

[@pgnandt]

Maybe do an interview with an 'official' so people understand why its going to the bottom and not the land fill. Also how they will ensure it sits upright on the bottom. I'm sure it will be a dive site so it will have to be sitting stable. Maybe interview someone from our local dive clubs. They're going to love to have something new to dive on.

[@matthewgreen1312]

I always thought inline 6's were tough. I'm old enough to have owned several. Good Lord what a tough motor! Water pressure!? ROFLMAO! Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Love you guys!

[@jeremyhanna3852]

There not they will run a long time due mass of engine to hp ratio but a stock bottom ls or truck ls will take a 800hp all day long and 1000 for a while

[@granthaney2570]

hear i am still running there engines in home made equipment 50yrs later and several pickups they will out run the cars they came in not a lot of power but very long lasting and under rated

[@bigbob16]

Full steam ahead... I'm giving her all she's got captain

[@UncleManuel]

That little engine didn't want you guys to get lunch... 😂😂😂

[@Terry-lu2dr]

Guess I missed why you did not want to salvage this boat.

[@vernlemasters6504]

What are you doing with that thing. It looked like it could be salvaged and possibly used again.

[@larryalexander4833]

Good Sunday morning to everyone. Hay thanks again for the video Merlin Hay everyone remember Jesus Christ in your life and heart is the true answer through it all ✝️🙏

[@rondogwil]

Great video! That engine refuses to die. LOL. That was hilarious. Good work guys! Thanks for bringing us along. Be safe!

[@martyzuno4807]

Merlin with a chain saw is always good news

[@patrickvanhoesen9425]

Someone was either smoking the devils lettuce or some go fast crystals outta that thing

[@donwilliams3626]

It seems the motor is still the best part of this house boat!

[@daviddial7010]

Are you wishing you had salvaged the engine?

[@DennisVerrelli]

Ya'll have way too much fun. LOL That motor was insanely tough. It made me have a whole lot more respect for those old in lines. Damn.

[@larryhager7109]

Throw that blade away. That's why they make a chop saw. We ran a Hillside Hemi for an hour with no oil. That's the greatest gas 6 cylinder made.

[@jacobthornock317]

I agree, that motor will get you home.

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@maxnoe3079]

That house boat could have been restored and used. So sad you all destroyed it.

[@ericwight919]

Ran out of gas trying to blow it up!😂 fitst time i heard that. Love your chanel

[@juanziegler1471]

Cant believe it isn't becoming the Party Palace .. lol

[@bobbarker3781]

I feel like I sawed that thing by hand. Priceless

[@toddmccarter45]

So this is like the reverse of the yellow submarine, neat

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

It's a marine engine block it's going to be tough sad to see it go

[@johnperun232]

Merlin,Brad, Makay Your Teamwork and determination to clean up the environment and make sure that the most of the situation is cleaning up the environment OUTSTANDING WORK AND GREAT CONTENT 👍 I ran a ? 235 chevy straight 6 from Denver to Sterling Colorado with a cracked in the oil pan And a corner of the block pouring oil out, right into a gas ⛽ station it was still running, I couldn't take the knocking anymore the gas station attendant gave me $100 for a 63 Chevy weather beaten blown up, bought a 66 Pontiac Catalina 😢for $ 250 and continued to Chicago October 1975 to end my 3 year Stent in the ARMY You and your Team and Family are doing Great 👍 Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless You and your Family 👪🙏

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

I used to have that exact two tier shelf on the living room side of the bathroom wall. Chrome curved ends with wood shelves. Miss it as it was a handy shelf. Great video fellows.

[@davidcampbell4465]

In the Navy you would be having a "working party".

[@TNT-projects]

You need a bit of dawn dish soap in that water , clean all the oil out into an emulsion

[@robertr4193]

It was amazing that the motor ran as long as it did after it was drained of oil. Kind of amazing that you got it started again at all.

[@marktelin7259]

Could have drove the boat to its sinking point. 😅 😮 Love the video Merlin. !!!

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

No, they couldn't ... They had to " scrap " it first!!!!

[@MrSuperchargeron]

Good morning Merlin and Family! Thank you for a great video!!

[@mikekerby814]

Should have got it running that first day. You could have driven it to where it is.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

6=8. I love the inline 6.

[@davidschneider9237]

I luv the sound of Big Blocks in the Morning

[@rattles3044]

Gilligan, the Skipper and the Professor ? 🤣

[@mudpuppy2158]

guessing the government won’t let you have the motor

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

HACKS!!! Y'ALL ARE GOING TO SLEEP WELL TONIGHT!

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Did not know you could sharpen a chainsaw with a grinder never saw that before that is amazing

[@jacklobley9836]

Gets done all the time, even though it works it scares the purist

[@jeffclark2725]

Thumbs up,Merlin is loose with a chainsaw, great video

[@robertwestern5908]

Dang wish the motor and drive could have been salvaged as long as it ran it was a bullet proof motor

[@garynewman9976]

Why in the world is the dumpster so far away from the job? That job would have been done three times faster if the dumpster had been near the job, My old man always told me to work smarter, not harder. JS, But anyway good job fellas 👏

[@jeremynelson8496]

I think that engine got stronger the longer you ran it because towards the end, it started sounding like a diesel.

[@lambo300zx98]

Why does the bost get sunk and not thrown in the landfill

[@trappedinkalifornee]

I would have had a hazmat suit on for those mattresses 😳😱😬

[@yeababyyea123456]

Why dont you restore it and sell it?

[@burnamon]

Just curious why you didn't pull the motor and save it

[@bobtucker8875]

Very interesting 🤔 content guys 😎.

[@aquaticservicesofmohavecou7202]

Great video. You guys had me smiling and laughing the whole time.

[@TNT-projects]

Any Quagga muscles 😂… Paul’s your man

[@RuralTowner]

Someone should've been playing TAPS for that poor motor...

[@rhondasweeney7271]

You did well on the chainsaw! Hope you have drained the oils and fuel from the engine before it gets sunk. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@leonajameson8902]

That was fun.

[@RusThompson]

Now that was amazing.... Should of had Dan get another gallon of gas,, HAHAHAHA!!

[@katreniaclark]

WOW, I thought that slant 6's were tough.

[@markrobertson9015]

Yeah that motor needs to be saved That straight six is the one that was built on Tuesday or Wednesday Monday they would have been hungover and Friday that motor would have been blown up years ago. Maybe a good little golf cart motor for your friend at the golf course.lol . So we say good bye to Spytanic Take care. Bloop bloop.

[@NJFatguy]

Wow! You guys swim in that water? First the yellow submarine runs after being in it forever now that motor runs with lake water instead of oil. I thought Jersey water was bad. lol

[@lawrencekedgettjr2364]

It’s sad that you just could not beach it fix it up and donate it to a homeless Vet ,, the structure still looks good and sound at least,,, that would have gave a homeless vet a nice place to live in ,,,,, just a thought ,,,,

[@pgnandt]

You can't because Johnny Law.

[@brianmoore2508]

Watching this video makes me want to take a shower 😂😂

[@mattnash5508]

The navy calls it a working party

[@kevinshorter5861]

You should take the motor home put on your boat !!

[@edwinschlee8374]

That was just plain crazy running that long without oil and then on water.

[@jamesthomson9065]

300/6 is bulletproof lol😂

[@PlainStraightShooter]

I don’t think I’d sink that engine. It just needs bearing and polish the crank out and run on distilled water and it be just fine.

[@Greg-x8g]

Hi guys did great job on the boat love seeing your shows every time so so cool 😎

[@kc6nfv746]

Merlin I seen this boat in other video my question for you has this house boat been out their since the 1990 my self seen a boat like this and a person took me and a friend out their to look at it question is their another one

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always great content very entertaining

[@JoeFilardi]

hi merlin good ep i think you should take the boat back out on the water buy a use submarie and sink the boat ha ha

[@59vaughn]

This would not be the future I had envisioned for this floating oasis ...so sad...bureaucratic indifference, .....it was a runner for cryin out loud...😩😒

[@lancecorey6582]

The bar needs to be adjusted on the chainsaw. The chain shouldn't droop away from the bar.

[@ksingleton101]

The African Queen!

[@billyg7281]

A logger Merlin is not!!!😂

[@gene5904]

What about the oil in the v-drive or transmission

[@antuajacobs3373]

Why damage the engine

[@robertheinkel6225]

She’s going to the bottom

[@billhayes8526]

So take the motor home and lest see the internals, how clean are the pistons now? Merlin I am kind of surprised you don't keep the boat, put in a Cummins and then use it like a pontoon boat (base camp) when all of the family comes down.

[@IEchuckie]

Mercury should use this in a sales commercial 😅

[@caseyriches7899]

Need to restore the motor for another project.

[@mikeslayer5926]

DAMM dem Metal 2x4's Mike

[@gregmedcalf4822]

Shoulda used it to help steam to it's final resting place,I think you could a made it!
