      I have 2 stokes the quiet only thing I have a problem with it when I was on the lake for a long time I switch to charge both batteries when I was coming in the charging system acted up band new batteries on board when we bought them we never paid what we were bought I took it in to see what it was wrong everything check out very well when I had switched to charge both batties the charging system shut down because it throws it was charging a 24 vote battery they put a larger battery to start the boat in the other battery does run the radio and the fish finders and trolling motor I do carry 2 more charged batties on board as well short time after I got the boat we got stuck comming off the lake in a lightning and thunderstorm it came from no way taken 4 hours getting back to the truck to load it up had a lighting strike hit in found were we were going it blow a fuse under the hood out we wear lucky we found a place that had a new one changed it out
      worked fine when back out when time to start the motor both batterys died the isolator failed it drained both batties
      it hard to start the motor with a rope we got it started luckily we are not that stupid to figure out how to start it easy with the rope when we go home the exit day the boat was in the shop to have it look at they found it and put a different type in the boat
      I had a awesome boss when I bought the boat somehow 4 from work had to go the mill to work we had to push in the morning then to put up the boats to go fishing for the day and got paid for it as well 10 of the fulltime know we were fishing the others never knew about it
      but I did put long days in when I worked I start work at 4 am someday stilled 9 pm to help out with loading trucks the bosses never complained about my hours worked the summer was awesome I had to show up to unload and reload the kiln with lumber then back to the lake to build the cabin Monday morning I push in and Friday night I push out I was warned to be on land by 8 am that when work, starts at the lake that when my boss gets up we go fishing for an hour, I start working and have breakfast short time after that we work to 6 and supper was done them we fish to dark have a camper I live in there
      if I had to start at 4 am I go home right after we eat was nice to have a hot shower then a cold bath in the lake supple we needed for the lake I would pick up at work too
      the year later I was going to my sister place she was transferred to New Brunswick plan 3 weeks of the holiday he has given my 6-week drive with my parents down their and back that was an awesome trap to be able to see Canada I worked harder after that too
      I never got paid overtime each hour I worked overtime I got 2 hours regular time and it was banked time for rainy days when the place sold out I had 252weeksk of pay I got paid out to me a short time after o move on was not the same place it was I still hard the hours but was not like it was like before we kept in touch with each other after the company was sold we still go fishing together still
      we now have a larger group to go fishing with we have now 3 boats to fish with we have it in for each boat I have put a pressure pump on mine now 200 feet I can get both boats soaked too the fish cop did not like it much when it was turned on. on them selfs they wanted to check the boat for fish they hit the switch the pumped the water and soaked them self never had on on board after that they did find as in the campgrounds they ask as to join them for the night that got the ground talking when we had to leave with then
      had an awesome time there one of the officers was a friend with one of us

    I bought a 16 foot Arima that sat in the desert for 20 years! Luckily it was covered with a Sunbrella cover! It needed 2 new tires. The 60 hp outboard actually ran, roughly but ran. I was tired of playing with old motors so had a brand new 90hp 2 stroke installed along with a new steering system. I used it for 7 years and sold it last year. Of course I didn't make any money on it but had many fun fishing outings.

    Awesome restoration and didn't cost an arm and a leg either. Nice move tearing the fuzzy carpet off the cabin walls. It looks so much better with a coat of paint in there. Nice choice using rustoleum instead of some hundred dollar a quart boat paint. The money spent on the upholstery was very well spent. Its impressive how much you accomplish with a lot of work and very little money. If you ever get over to port Canaveral, the beer is on me!

    No mention of the structural support - I take it the stringers and transom were in good shape?
    Earthworms living in it would give me pause. Sure, they could just have been feasting on the leaves/mulch that had built up above deck, but I'd have to take a peek own below just to be sure.
    Love the content - keep it coming!

      Sopwithcamel44 I was thinking the same thing. Those stringers and transom HAVE to be shot. The hydrofoil is kind of a giveaway that the boat is waterlogged. Looks good though. I would love to have it.

    I'm guessing the old owner ran out of money from the fuel bill and just gave up. The big black max is a thirsty beast. Great restoration vid mate Cheers !!

      Markolav70 I had a 1994 150 Black Max. Good motor, but she LOVED fuel. My new Yamaha F200 gets 2.5 times the economy and is so quiet....not knocking the old two strokes.

    Awesome video, definitely got a new sub from Australia. Geez $1400, is a bargain, well it would be here in Aus. I purchased just on 18months ago a 1979 14.3ft glass skiboat with a 1979 115hp Chrysler and had to do pretty much same as you(touch up seats,service motor), except clean/paint and I paid $1250aud. So I think it's bargains all round.

    Hi buddy, I'm intrigued by your videos of boat restoration so much so that I've just bought myself one to restore. It's a cruisers holiday 2570 with the mercruiser 5.7 v8 and alpha 1 outdrive. I cant wait to get my teeth into it and eventually hit the water in sunny Scotland 🌧 😂 anyway I wanted to ask which transom lights you used. Keep the videos coming bro. 👍

    little trick if line the inner cover with a sound suppressant you can reduce the noise by quite a lot.

    • @alannapartin336
      @alannapartin336 Před 3 lety

      That particular cover is air restricted as it is. Adding sound deadening make it worse... if anything. Open up the rear air inlet tray and let it breath

      This boat is rotten to the core. Guarantee it. That transom will be covered in cracks after using it like that.
      To those watching these, the cosmetics are the easy fixes. This hull/transom is completely rotten inside and would be super dangerous to be on.
