I love your content. It’s informative, interesting, and Sarah adds that, “Je ne sais quoi” to your channel. Hold on to that woman and treat her right because she’s gold! Not only does she know her way around power tools and supports you in your hobbies but she’s such a good sport too.
No need to hold the muffs the hose pressure will fill the leg up to the impeller and once running the impeller (in the leg) will suction/ meter as much water as needed any extra will just push past the Muff ears. Just think when your idling on the lake the water pressure 1 foot down at the pickup point / impeller level is no where near what a hose puts out
I've been near it, once, but never been there for race night. Oddly enough I met Charlie Strang, the inventor of the Stern Drive, very important man in Marine history as he was very high up both at Mercury, and VP of OMC. He died a few months after I met him, was a surreal experience. Once Covid is over I definitely want to make it down there...
Just got my boat out on the water last weekend and this weekend. Probably going today if it doesn’t rain. After rebuilding it from trees growing inside. 1996 sunbird with a 112 spl Johnson. Runs great. 42 mph and plenty of power to pull a tube or skis. Lots of satisfaction on my end. Many days of being covered in fiberglass dust and sweat. I have a few videos on my channel. O yeah I did all the upholstery work myself.
I get you on low weight. Have not had a Civic, but have had two Preludes, my last one being a '98 with the H22A VTEC motor. One of my friends with a 4.6L Mustang GT found out just how fast a "lowly" 4 cylinder can be.
What? Even more ants?! Damn! Oh man, does she sound sweet! Civics are way cool. Over here in Europe we don't really care about displacement. Power to weight is indeed key. And of course: vtec yo!
I was so scared watching her put her arms in the prop. If that had been in gear she would have lost both of them,,,,,,, PLEASE never do that again. Oh and on a side note. There is an old axiom for speed,,, "There is no replacement for displacement". Drag racing in particular, it is much easier to go fast with a V8. Not that 4cyls can't be fast, its just much more expensive. Great video series. Love the content.
Carbon core won't sell that stuff unless you buy 10 sheets apparently.... it sounds like they just use their transom pour in mixture to make up batches as people order them? Sucks. I did find coosa tho!
@@ADDvanced I do remember that it took me like 4 weeks to get the pourable from them and he told me they were out and was waiting on product so they could make up a batch so your right they must only make up batches as people order it. That's great you found Coosa though you definitely wont go wrong with product either can't wait to see that video after you get it in ! 👍👍👍👍
Oh man I have ants too and Joanie aunt Judy and aunt Marie there all over too that was a fantastic video to watch so much fun thank you for the content I love it. My boat is not quite that fast though 🚣
Pike Lake, I left Madison because a boring bullshit house with a 1 car garage is now 300k+ and the only company paying employees decently is Epic. Honestly pisses me off, I grew u on the Yahara river and I'll never EVER be able to afford a house like my dad had, who never went to college and was able to afford on a single income.

Thanks for the kind words!
Did you really just use ‘je ne sais quoi’?? Pppfffftttt……….
No reason to hold the muffs like that!
Buy a better set that stays on.
Please be careful.
Exactly! Why is Sarah having to hold the muffs on?
Kinda dangerous trying to hold the waterhose to the pump while the engine i running , her hands where realy close to the prop
Agreed, she figured out how to hold it from the front half way through this
civics are cool, and that little chat was 100 % accurate
No need to hold the muffs the hose pressure will fill the leg up to the impeller and once running the impeller (in the leg) will suction/ meter as much water as needed any extra will just push past the Muff ears. Just think when your idling on the lake the water pressure 1 foot down at the pickup point / impeller level is no where near what a hose puts out
You'd think..... but it seems like it works better, idk.
Fast & light is a great formula for fun. On asphalt, that translates to motorcycles; not POS Civics ;-)
lmao
It’s the sound….. nothin like a big block sound!
That’s a small block lol
Have you guys ever gone to Blarneys Island on grass lake ? Close to Antioch I'll . If you haven't get there awesome time .

Definitely! Back to fixing stuff today, lol

Terro for sure
Love the old Keikhaefer Mercury logo on the hat! Takes me waaaay back…
Check out my hydroplane build, in other videos. KG4 action!

I've watched a couple of them! Emailed you too, would love any extra cloth you had.
Totally fun! Thank you for sharing (as usual)!!
Just a suggestion, next time use a small bar clamp to hols the muffs tight.
Definitely!
Dude. Sarah is a trooper!!!
haha, definitely!

Anything fast is fun 🤷🏻♂️ idgaf how many holes are in the block
You guys have the best smiles!!
Love it, can't wait for the 8ft to take a speed run!
Waiting on Ron....
Fun video you guys… Good times on the water...
Definitely!
An absolute BLAST! great you got out and into the H2O. A beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Yes it was! Glad to finally get at it.
WE JUST CALL IT SUMMERIZING.....LOL
That sounds like you’re taking something complex and boiling it down into key points
What? Even more ants?! Damn!

Great video series. Love the content.
My eyeballs popped out of my head when I was editing the video. I had no idea she was doing that! Learning lesson make sure to check on your help
Great video i really enjoyed it ! 👍 How come you decided to go with Coosa board instead of the Carbon Core ?
Carbon core won't sell that stuff unless you buy 10 sheets apparently.... it sounds like they just use their transom pour in mixture to make up batches as people order them? Sucks. I did find coosa tho!

Get rid of that trailer...dont even bother putting a hand crank winch on it. lol
It's going to the scrap yard for sure

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the kind words! Cheers!
Best channel I've watched in a long time. Keep the videos coming 🥰
Oh man I have ants too and Joanie aunt Judy and aunt Marie there all over too that was a fantastic video to watch so much fun thank you for the content I love it. My boat is not quite that fast though 🚣
Awesome! Thank you! Beware the aunts.
makes me miss my boat!!!
Great video! What lake was that? Assuming Madison chain somewhere based off the naming on boat?
Pike Lake, I left Madison because a boring bullshit house with a 1 car garage is now 300k+ and the only company paying employees decently is Epic.
Honestly pisses me off, I grew u on the Yahara river and I'll never EVER be able to afford a house like my dad had, who never went to college and was able to afford on a single income.
@@ADDvanced Pike lake in Hartford?
Where do you guys live? That lake is beautiful! I love your boat! Can’t wait to see the blue one on the water!!
Milwaukeeish! Very wisco around here.
Careful she doesn't lose an arm
Awesome content! Looks like lake Kegonsza
Left Madison, couldn't afford to live there anymore
@@ADDvanced me too moved to the Coulee region. Great snowmobiling and lower cost of living.
Same 🤙

What engine do you have in this boat? Is it Factory, or "pumped up"? How many horses?? Thanks=)
Mercruiser 260 aka Chevy 350. It has a performance cam/intake/exhaust/carbs and a gear drive. I'm guessing 350-400hp? Not sure.
@@ADDvanced OK, so Mercruiser engine is same then 350 Chevy??
when are you going to post a video on the mini hydroplane?
Soon ☝️
good luck with 80 mph! usally it takes a hydrostream haul to get past 70 mph...
This hull hit 83mph with a Yamaha 200hp on it when it was new.
She’s not smart at all being near propeller with running engine
Rookie mistake
What lake is that?
Pike Lake
umm, it's July 18th, get on the water!
Yeahhhhh late start. I'll make up for it.
Dude... can you put a wood clamp on your ears while you run it?
Yep, or just hold it in front of the gearcase
Get a ratchet strap next time, don't endanger your wife like that, even though she was a good sport about it.
je vient de regarder votre video c est vraiment tres dangereux de faire tourner le moteur avec ta femme qui a les bras sur l helice
Agreed, I did not see what she was doing. Be aware of what your helper is doing at all times, she knows better now.
You don't have a clue what you are doing
Fake it til you make it! :D
