Will Our Center Console Boat Engine Start?

[@WillFixThat]

So what might we name our center console? We've been thinking about names and we have a few already .... Daze Off, Chillaxing, Dee Stress what ideas do you all have? We just need a few more names and then we'll do a voting pole!

20 years ago I had a work truck just like yours same color and same color cap. A few months ago I was down there from Michigan and parked next to your truck in the parking lot by a@b marina and told my girlfriend and son how I would love to take that home with me. Then a few months later I stumbled upon this channel and love seeing what you guys do down there keep up the good work

[@WillFixThat]

Have you seen that Karriann is always trying to sell my truck? We kid about it all the time! We are the original owners & actually ordered it years ago! Yup I spend a lot of time at A&B and the Galleon next door. Thanks for watching & sharing.

[@mikeyd5969]

I miss my old 7.3 obs ford . Those motors were awesome for their time and that’s still my favorite body style to this day .

[@WillFixThat]

Matt loves his truck it needs a bit of body work in the wheel well area it’s rusting.

Knot-Shifting Nice video by the way, always a plus when the wife helps

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks I’ll add it to our list! Yes we are a husband & wife TEAM!

[@garrettbinley7349]

Whoo boy. Always fun scrapping the old retaining compound out of the back two injector holes on those 7.3’s. Love the old oil fired injector diesels though.

[@WillFixThat]

It’s been a good truck 👍

I have the same Yamaha V4 2 stroke on my boat. It's got a consistent 130 psi across all 4 cylinders. New impeller, thermostats, plugs, gear fluid. The motor just hauls when it's running - but a common issue I've found is heat-soak and difficulty with warm restarts. Otherwise, great great engines. Your boat is sweet, lots of storage compartments!

[@WillFixThat]

This motor got taken off the boat last week … getting ready to install our new one!

[@jennifervicknair7923]

I got a 2007 Yamaha 2 stroke and runs great

[@WillFixThat]

We are re-powering then we know it’s reliable compared to a 21 yr old engine.

[@WillFixThat]

Thank you I’ll add it to our list 👍

[@WillFixThat]

We don’t mix drinking and boating! Too much can go wrong fast! If you know what I mean.

[@timguy4783]

good stuff good luck with the project boat I wish my boat was in the keys for guys to handle, all this work I have had and having done. what a crazy circus

[@WillFixThat]

Lol Tim …. we don’t call it a circus we call it ‘managing chaos’ 🤣🤣🤣 when are you coming back down here?

[@kubeanie18]

my 1992 evinrude 70 still running strong 3 cylinder 2 stroke.. maintenance is key.. glad to see a update to the boat thanks guys

[@WillFixThat]

Plenty more updates to come … 👍 just got engine on order! Is you boat fresh or salt water?

[@kubeanie18]

@@WillFixThat motor is a E70TLEND. Stock still has vro pump Its fresh water stainless steel prop its on a 1990 sylvan pro fisherman 17 foot

[@WillFixThat]

@@kubeanie18 fresh water much different then our salt water!

[@kubeanie18]

@WillFixThat very true. Keep up the good work 👏

[@Turbotalkin]

I got a 97 ocean pro 200 saltwater its whole life still pops off before I hear a crank runs great but horrible fuel economy. Got me looking at 4 stroke swap when I can afford it. Just put 160/30s in my 95obs in July talk about an upgrade

[@lukeboswell2642]

I still do not understand why they are using blow through motors for those Scott pumps. A sealed motor won"t fail as fast if at all they consume a bit more power and produce a little more heat but not damage by condensation blowing through the motor.

[@WillFixThat]

That what is used almost everywhere

[@phillipstitt5311]

I have a 70 year old outboard and it runs

[@WillFixThat]

Wow are you doing anything with it?

[@phillipstitt5311]

Yeah it gets the odd run out in the sea and then washed and flushed and put away with the other 19 engines

[@WillFixThat]

@@phillipstitt5311 pretty cool you just collect outboards?

[@phillipstitt5311]

Rebuild and Restore old British seagull 2 stroke engines and the old younger 4 stroke, just a bit of a hobby

[@WillFixThat]

@@phillipstitt5311 sounds like you enjoy turning those wrenches! 😆

[@badboy1642008]

How about “Keys Disease” for a name?

[@WillFixThat]

Maybe but it would be very difficult for us to have Keys Disease! You must live here?

[@badboy1642008]

Hope to meet you two in September

[@WillFixThat]

@@badboy1642008 sounds like fun let us know when in Sept cause we are celebrating B-day Month 🤣

[@richielittlewood867]

How about Habba Dabba Re-Do

[@WillFixThat]

Yup it’s been a project.

[@captpepin]

Don’t bother putting a VHF on it, if the owner wants one they can use a handheld. The antenna is a PITA to deal with. Then add the expense and time to put one in also something else to break.

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks for sharing ... this is our own boat that we just bought! Matt said we need one for safety.

[@brettbarnhart2905]

Project name? Gonna have to go with a Buffett song, " Honey Do"

[@WillFixThat]

Lol 😂 hopefully not …. But you know boats need work!

[@roypoe1865]

Phoenix, the bird that has risen from the ashes

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks Roy so you're suggesting the name be Phoenix? Appreciate you watching .... do I say still LOL!

[@roypoe1865]

Yes, with the work that y'all are putting into everything, it will be like a new bird.

[@WillFixThat]

@@roypoe1865 definitely we want it maintenance free for a little while so we can have fun.

[@richardbonk5592]

How about "We Fixed This"

[@WillFixThat]

I’ll add it to our list! 🤣

[@terryfry2964]

Need to hit the weights if you’re going to wear a wife beater.

[@WillFixThat]

I’ll be sure to tell him 🤣
