You need a 15 hp. 1968 Merc

Is that a factory lip on there?

It's been nearly two years since an update on this sea flea! You've upgraded boats using Space Age Materials! You've attempted offing yourself with CO! Maybe even a couple other things since then! Anyway, get this sucker fired up and SENT IT!

Applying heat to the bearings will facilitate it's removal.. Both bearings should be replaced for that much trouble.

I think the 400R is missing

I watched e1 so slow

you always know its a merc. when it wont krank johnson first pull

Throttle body .mas air flow sensor .volt reg.dist pick up .

we cant forget OMC's rotary race engine, which SCARED THE CRAP out of mercury.

Yep, it's a joke..... most property owner type Lakes with speed limits, around here those property owners have massive Wakeboard Boats that putt along slowly with Ballast tanks creating absolutely huge 'wakes' to surf on ? How about some 18" Wake Laws ?

Great video! Thank you!

you can thank Al Stoker (Stoker Sport Tunnel) for designing and building that boat. He ended Hydrostreams reign as the fastest boats in Mod VP with that hull. I had one beat my Viking with one until I put a 200 Black max on it and before working on the engine it went 10 mph faster. Ive seen SSts with Merc Mod VPs running over 100 mph. Theyre stable and very fast compared to a Hydrostream and wont chine walk. Nice boat by the way, I love watching the vid.

Yes !

99 Astro deep pan and i was hoping just to order the pan with the valve already in it BUT reviews on both when you search Safari or Astro only come up with didnt fit remarks and wonder maybe they had the shallow versions or if anyone has tried the ones linked above? thanks for info and video

Government was going to outlaw 2 strokes but so many people swapped theirs out for one of the new four strokes the government didn’t need to follow through with the ban. Which I’m glad for because I still run my 1986 85 Horse Suzuki on my fishing boat.

Wow, No footers and just sitting on concrete pavers. Have fun when the ground freezes. I would've done poured footers for sure and have the frame start 20" off the ground to help avoid winter snow and give you room to insulate later if you want.

lol you don’t want all Renogy products so now your going to go all Victron? I have all Renogy and can monitor my system remotely. Should have gone all Renogy so then you can really compare apples to apples if you go all Victron.

Every time i heard the sound of that 2 stroke i ran to my gramdmas staircase and stared as they took off out of the channel man the 90s what memories

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😊

Is Bridget the same as piston port? I'm familiar with snowmobile engines

Come on Rob. More boat content please. It must be getting warmer there now. Keep me motivated during our winter.

Dude kinda looks like metallicas drummer. Lars. Lolol

I'm in Brookfield and Land O Lakes. We had a longer sled season down here than up in Vilas. Trails in Onieda and Vilas never opened. Had the snowmobile off the trailer once for icefishing up north.

Yes v8 only

You should have used fumed silica instead of microbeads for your fillets along the stringer when it's mixed with resin it's not gonna go anywhere after it sets

Wow! very nice.

Can I have it 😮‍💨😮‍💨👀

Sell it ASAP !

Hey i love audi where u at ill take pictures

I love dat wagon

That’s the second time I’ve watched one of these anti climactic adventure failures from you guys. I’m upset I’ll never get that time back. Stapling teak foam down for aesthetics vs addressing the motor issues…

Great job very educational thank you

Did you ever resolve this problem?

She would date the female version of herself....red flag there.

Great video's I have a 1976 Baja 16ss Currently not running 🙃 Has a tower of power from I think 2 or 3 different engines But you have rejuvenated my interest in getting it going Been on the back burner for awhile really appreciated the rotten transom video Learned alot Keep up the great work thanks Jim 05/15 /24

The video is 2 fast

Great video!

After a warranty claim through Renogy I am now getting spam emails. They used my claim information to sell my personal data including my address. As to your issue I have found that the Renogy One does not work correctly on a 5ghz wifi network. Try connecting via 2.4

Rob n Sara, you still doing boats or on a 2nd channel? Every hour should be happy hour.

Too much work for too little gain, I love the idea but I would want enough headspace to fully walk erect, thanks for the video it was straightforward and instructive.

Great video, had my Gen 1 in storage for 6 months. Didn't touch it. Started first turn of the key yesterday, drove 200 miles with no warning lights and full IMA charge. Automatic re-calibration once and flew through the MOT today. Auto stop start is even working perfectly. Amazing car and your video is excellent, I have had my Insight for 7 years and normally do this every 6 months to keep battery in tip top condition. Bought a second hand IMA battery pack by off chance and rotate the two. Wonderful car and the engineering is unbelievable, I'm constantly stopped by people asking about it.

My thoughts on re-vitalizing the snowmobile industry. Build some early 70's sleds and make them affordable. Like a 340 enticer, an old school tundra, a 399 Panther, and an early 400 indy. That would introduce more people to snow travel.

i would have to completely agree with you on RENOGY. it states it works with any wifi hotspot, this is total crap, it doesn't. i have a WANDERER controller connected with a bluetooth module. it never connected with the M1. something they don't tell you is that the WANDERER has to be a newer version, mine is only a little under 2 years old and not compatable. i also have a ROVER 20A. it connects to the M1 and like you say, the M1 stopped talking the the ROVER within a matter of hours, do a reset and you have to start again with connection. RENOGY is a load of crap. i decided to make my own monitor using an ESP32 with a built-in display which then connects to any hotspot/WIFI then to my phone anywhere in the world.

Yes , cool video.

As a Canadian I support this message

I put helper leaf springs and air shocks on my 2005 Astro. 265,000 miles.

Years ago my buddy had a very similar boat as that, same colors but a Pioneer with a 200hp. we called it the cheese log. 😂

you do new gen vdubs? mine handels like shit, like lucky to get home as far as windy highway driving goes.

when power washing at home we aim for the door gaps to help rinse that area out, granted most cars aren't already leaking like a siiv.

i always thought chewing through caps/rotors was slop in the dizzy shaft bushings. i put all new ignition system sans coil on mine when doing the LIM gasket. all metal car quest premium dizzy. another guy on the astro safari forums says he has 40k miles on his CQ premium. i will also state i was not able to stab my dizzy in correctly. a multi decade mechanic who have built plenty of SBC struggled to get it to go in on the correct tooth alignment. I wonder if the machine the slots for the rotor alignment incorrectly on the dizzy shaft. #allpartsmadeinchina
