Brings back some memories. We were a Glasstream dealer in the late 1980s. They were a copy of Laser boats and performed very well. Fast boats with an efficient hull design. I remember distinctly a black and silver one exactly like this one we rigged with a Yamaha ProV 150. It ran very well. I think radared that one in the mid 70 mph range. They were relatively cheaply built boats though, but were priced accordingly. Surprised to see a survivor. Most would completely rotted out by now. Floor, transom, stringers. Chryslers were our old mechanics favorite engines. Not the fastest engines but cheap, low cost to maintain, simple design, easy to work on, and reliable. They always came with crappy aluminum props though. Thanks for the video. Sentimental for me.

[@dada191]

Man, this guy makes me feel like I've wasted my life, when I could have been getting free boats growing on trees! If only I had the knowledge of MacGyver like he does

Friend of mine had a huge 26 ft ski ,deck boat w a huge Chrysler outboard. Never heard it bog down or struggle , never failed to crank.

[@kentuckyblugrass]

That outboard is actually pretty sought after. I have a friend that builds race engines and his garage is loaded with old Chrysler, Johnson, Mercury and Mariner outboards. Especially the 70-80's models. Great video my man.👊🏻

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah she seems like a pretty quality piece. And thanks man

[@gamecockmike175]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Can't believe you got it going so easy. I mean I haven't watched the whole video yet but did they put power packs in those older motors back then. Only boat motor I ever worked on was my 98 evinrude and an 89 Mercury that I should have tied a rope to and used as an anchor. I loved my little evinrude except when I lost a power pack. The boat ran fine out the water, It would crank and sound regular but stick it in some water and yeah, it would crank and idle fine but put the gas to it and it would run fine but it wouldn't run much faster than idle. It would stand up but never get up enough power to plane off. It's amazing what all little things can cause so much trouble. I'll be damn if Chrysler didn't dabble in just about every little thing. You can't say they didn't try. Yeah, the old Chryslers and around my area the 80's yamahas were the sought after motors. I got a newer model yamaha. It's ok but i'll tell you what, I miss my ole little 2 stroke Evinrude. Even though I lost the power pack, I took it off the boat and threw it in the dirt for 2 years because it had me so pissed until one day I went and got it out the dirt, put some clean gas to it and the damn thing fired right up, still had the power pack problem but got it fixed and that motor ran like it was brand new until the day I sold it. Great work my man. You got a new subscriber. Owning a boat you can never have to many boat mechanic channels, especially good ones.

[@stephenr3371]

@@gamecockmike175 Hi mate what size was your evinrude? I recently got a 1985 ish 50hp evinrude. Goes awesome just is a pain to get started first time if its in the water. With the earmufffs on it starts fine but in the water I'm 3-0 it not starting. Once it starts its fine then and will start all the time in the water. But just doesn't like the first water start. Hopefully I can get it sorted and itll run great like yours. @NoNonsenseKnowHow awesome video thoroughly enjoyed it, looking forward to binging your channel!

[@slicker420]

@@stephenr3371 you might just have a weak starter. i had a boat that wouldn't want to start in water but cranked easy on land. it was just that little extra load on it. put brand new starter on and fixed it right up. hope it helps

Love boat restoration videos... Thats been sitting 30+ years for sure

[@alangoodwin1966]

Much respect dude. I have been wanting to buy a boat but it’s just a little out of reach for the time being. I was thinking how I wish I had your skills. Then an idea came to me thanks to your videos. I am a carpenter of 30 years. I have built hundreds of homes and other large structures in my career and I still build them every day...my idea is to trade my work for a boat! I see lots of people selling boats that are willing to trade. So thanks for the inspiration.

[@lukeclarke1068]

Did you get it yet?

[@alangoodwin1966]

No sir..I come close to doing a trade,but the boat was junk. Probably jut going to by one...they are just so expensive.

[@jonathanfleming8500]

Absolutely love this guy. I have two boats. A double hull with a Mariner 75 and a single hull with a Yamaha 50. The Yamaha 50 boat and engine isn’t in the best condition yet you have given me the motivation to get it running better than the mariner that I use.

[@donparker8246]

Those old Chrysler Outboards were some tough motors. My dad had a 105 on a boat he had. Then, US Marine(force) took them over and things went downhill.

[@melrose9252]

Chrysler was never a solid motor and got better after US Marine was purchased by Brunswick/Mercury. Chrysler’s best attribute was their price. Cheap.

[@PowellRoadDIY]

I just rebuilt a 1996 sunbird that sat for 15 years in a lady’s back yard. It was in the same shape as what you have in your video. Had a 5 foot pine tree growing through the rotted plywood floor , the root system ran everywhere. I have a few videos on my channel. Done tons of fiberglass work and got the 1996 Johnson 112 running like a top. I’ve took it out a few times. I enjoyed doing this project. Looking for a older jet boat for my next build.

[@sjd73ss]

This video is insane lol. Id never ever try to run it like that. Pretty crazy man

Reminded me of a neighbor that had a evenrude motor and when he would come home from fishing he would rinse everything down and he had a chysler motor cover so he puts that on in storage in his yard so nobody would want to steal it . 👍👍

Yeah I'm sure that's total BS because everyone that owns one and knows what they are know they are great engines and boats Chrysler was a big seller in the 60's and 70's of inboard and outboard motors. I have been around boats all my life and everyone I know of the old guys know that Chrysler were great runners. I have two of them a 20hp and a 115hp and they run like a top and get bugged all the time to sell them

I am impressed, sounds like a real nugget. I have never ever in my whold entire life heard of a Chrysler outboard engine.
