- I Found A Boat Under My House || 40 Year Old ABANDONED Boat Restoration
I discovered a boat hiding under my new house! From what I can gather it is a 1962 Montgomery Ward Sea King. My plan is to restore the boat and bring it back to her former glory!
The motor is 100% fixable! It is not as bad as it looks! Save it! It's a classic!
@@MrJerobona it is a beauty - It was disconnected from the transom when I found it there. Wondering it had issues b4 I got to it. Still need to diagnose.
@@Pat_Reaganyou can always find a new used motor for less than 400$ for that boat
@@Pat_Reagan that motor will fire right up, clean the carb, clean the points and clean the spark plugs, then that thing should fire up. make shure that there is water running through the motor or it will overheat. if this is too much for you, i do reccomend selling the boat to a loving home or getting a experienced friend. friends are more professional than "professionals" at repair shops.
Fancy seeing you back so soon!
Turbo tortoise thanks for coming back to visit so soon! 🫡
Glade to see you have your own channel now too
Should have made my own channel years ago!
@@Pat_Reagan 🙏🏻😃👍🏻 good luck with the channel can’t wait to see future videos
The spring raccoon traps are actually for locking transom down onto trailer when towing. Don’t forget to unhook when you launch😅
@@jayslater5276 I did discover that off camera! Hoping to get the trailer back on the road in the next couple weeks!
Find the vin. It should be on the back of the boat towards the right side. The last 2 numbers on the vin will tell you the year! Great content I’m here for the long run now!
Also that engine doesn’t look half as bad as I’ve seen before and it still be salvageable.
HE IS THE CAPTAIN NOW. FIX THE BOAT LETS GO BILLY 🎉

@@spicyfilmzyou think we have the budget to overnight parts from Japan??
@@hidef9265 I think we could do that lol
🤣 really enjoyed this chaos! It reminds me of my hubby and mines sense of humour and just general messing about!
Bro got swatted while saying nothing will stop him! KEEP GOING!!!
This ship will sail again once more
Prayers for his nose🙏🙏🙏 (btw I’m new to your channel I’m happy to find it😊)
Notha video coming soon hopefully!
Nice looking vintage boat , keep it
@@peterhoulis1184 aye aye captain 🫡
pull plugs pour marvel mystery oil in cylinders / carb let sit for 2 day new plugs fresh 50:1 mix and bet it will run
That’s, actually not in bad condition for a motor sitting for forty years
I’m in a similar situation I subscribed and liked cause i hoping this will work out for you and me as well
Maybe youtuber mustie1 can help you get the motor running. He usually gets almost everything running again.
@@Triumph-dg4bv might be my only option - Not a lot of compatible motors for this boat. Would have to update all of the steering to a modern setup.
🌴 So here’s the thing it’s not as bad as your saying yea the first thing to check on the motor is try and spin the flywheel on the top of the motor to make sure it’s not locked up or seized , spray some blaster canned penetrating oil on the plugs let ‘em set for a day or so and see if they’ll break loose by a couple new plugs , spray some of the blaster inside the spark plug holes to lube the cylinders , you need to run a compression test on the cylinders they should be around 100 psi for good compression, I don’t know if it’s a pull start or electric start ? You need to get the motor turning over , check oil on the bottom end , and make sure all is hooked up on the top end , squirt gas in the carbs see if it fires up , 🤔 once you get the trailer ready get the boat up on it get to an area to clean out the inside and outside, if the boat is gelcoat it can be sanded and buffed to restore it , the interior will need to be redone at a interior shop , ain’t no need to rush it ! It’s a project boat and it takes time , one by one off the check list 👍🏼 ya got this 😉. You can always resource looking one how to do stuff on you tube 🫲🏼😳🫱🏼
First thing I heard wrong was a suede steering wheel. I don’t think you want suede around water..just a thought. Not sure if it was a joke or not but just wanted it out there.
You can do it..I knew nothing and tranformed a 1963 into a boat that I used for 20 years in the gulf of mexico.

Don’t give up on the motor. It might no be as bad as it looks.
Unfortunately I’ve discovered the motor is worse than it looks..
@@Pat_Reagan looking forward to the next upload.
Great video!
@@MrJerobona THANK YOU! 🫡
W video would love to see that thing on the water
Dude, you did nothing to actually troubleshoot. Rusty spark plugs mean nothing. Learn the steps and do your homework. Most of what you need can be found used cheap or fabricated.
Well your right - I don’t know anything about this motor. At a glance it’s bad and worse in person. Not sure a rebuild is the direction I want to go - time will tell… I’ll crack it open and take a deeper look.
It’s a learning process ease up, arm chair captain.
@@Pat_Reaganlove to see the full build just subscribed
Agree
@@hunterwjames2663 also agree
If you can turn that motor do a compression test on it it thats good then it's probably definitely worth fixing over getting a different motor you will definitely need a new water pump kit for it though if it turns pop some new plugs in it and some starting fluid in the carbs and see what happens you might get lucky.
@@pjboudwin2730 I’m 99% sure it’s completely locked up. The spinney guy on the top ain’t doing any spinin. I think normally the top gear thing spins freely and you can sort of hear whether or not it’s compressing. I don’t really know what the frick I’m doing but time will tell.
The trailer is good. Look around. You might find the wheel hubs, wheels and tires lying around somewhere. They were removed to provide head room while it was stored in the garage. That is a simple boat. It’s fiberglass. A good shoveling out and scrubbing will bring it back a lot. Those chain clamp things you threw over the side were the tie downs used to hold and tie the boat transom to the trailer at the back. The rope at the front used on the wench held the front of the boat. The windshield is plexiglass. That one is in great shape! It scratches easy so be careful while cleaning. It’s plastic, not glass. To replace these, you go to special shops which reconstruct them from a flat piece of plexiglass using heat and a mold form. They are not cheap. The engine is an old Johnson/Evinrude or Gale probably between 25 and 40 hp. You can probably still get parts for it. They made a lot of those and there are still quite a number of them around. It’s a smoky somewhat thirsty two stroke.
Use carvetical to check on the boat
😅
Will have to investigate 🤔
Please please don't trash that boat and motor. Hopefully you can get it going but if you decide not to there's a lot of people who would love to bring it back to live.
Love these vids Best Couples CZcams channel in the game
Loonies to the top 🫡
@@Pat_Reagan hell yeah brother loonies x Spicy taking over
When I turned 16 my dad bought me a 14’ 1962 Crownline. (4 yrs older than me). It looked much like that boat. We took windshield off because it was broken. I think dad paid $500 for boat. Floor replaced, We made a bench seat across the back and where the drivers seat would be. Took out steering wheel. Dad put on a 30 hp Suzuki. I sold the boat, motor and trailer 10 yrs later for $1,500.
Cool video
🫡
It will run not bad at all
I made a discovery today.. it will never run again
I would think if the engine isn't seized, it may be worth fixing.
Too bad the missing trailer parts weren't hiding in the garage.
PLEASE fix the boat please also it shouldn’t be to expensive to fix the boat motor
Boat will sail again - motor will never ever run ever again.
@@Pat_Reagan omg I never thought you would respond this is amazing lol if u need any help let me know I’ve rebuilt many boats before and boat motors and trailers I wish I would have recorded myself doing it but it’s ok I have projects coming soon
@@spikeyjojo5829of course!! Appreciate you watching - had a baby two days ago so hope I can get another vid out in the next couple weeks!
@@Pat_Reagan nice bro congratulations I’m a dad myself I’m 22 single with a 10month old
@@Pat_Reagan can’t wait to see the video
you could buy a boat running for 1500 - 3k that boat fixed still wont be worth more than 1500 on a good day, sell the boat and trailer for 500, you could get 250 - 350 for the motor
It’s not entirely out of the question

2:08 to 2:36 is just 😂 dead funny 100x more funny on 2x speed tho
I’m nine months pregnant, moving on!! That explains the broken nose well done mamma
Yes - don’t mess with pregnant woman 🤰
Might not even need a rebuild .. probably a carb clean new fuel and spark plug I bet it will run fine
Motor will never run again - just found a BIG BIG problem
Trailer?
In da Garage
7:36 sorry for all the comments but are you standing on your car?
No I would never… I’m standing on my wife’s car
@@Pat_Reagan nice..
Hey man I broke my nose before just a fyi I was told I need a nose job too but let it heal on its own. Big mistake because ever since then I can't breath out of my left nostril.
@@angelon7095 also can’t breath out of the left side. Will probably get it fixed at some point.. but I’m having a kid next week so I got big fish to fry atm
@@Pat_Reagan I hear ya man ! Right before my daughter was born I was able to restore a vintage seadoo jetboat in time. Now that my daughter is 1 years old we take her with us on the lake !
@@angelon7095 YES! Daughters need dads with ships!
I am invested in this boat project now! lemme know how i can help
Overnight fedex me a 35 horse motor 😂
@@Pat_Reagan best I can do is a trolling motor. *crosses arms*
Got 5 of them anther name for a boat Is money pit which one pours money into
@@user-cd1xc5di2l two good days when you own a boat… The day you buy it and and the day you sell it
@@Pat_Reagan nah I rebuilt all the engines in mine new decking and fiberglass
The boat would have 0pictures because it's sat under a deck for 40 years
All that trailer needs rims and tires and a winch
Viel Glück. Gruß aus Germany😬
Grüße Deutscher Herr. Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut - ich hoffe, Ihnen hat das Video gefallen
@@Pat_Reagan Hallo, das Video hat mir sehr gut gefallen und ich bin gespannt wie es mit dem Boot weitergeht. Gruß Andy
Dude: Im gonna fix this boat
Wife Hears price
Dude: Feels bones breaking in nose
6:07 bro said he has no money th💀💀💀💀 what a lierrr bro
I ain’t a bum
@@Pat_Reagan thx bro
Lol
Get the 25hp Johnsons are really good mercury will give you problems and forse ive never heard of Chinese crap 😂
Why does the trailer need *smacks whiteboard w/ marker* PAINT?
@@hidef9265 a perfect paint job is one of the most satisfying parts of a project. Takes the least time and makes such a big difference.
WHO BEAT YOU UP AND WHY?
Where yall from? This boat screams ex drug runner
@@billybob501 Minnesota!!
Quit your crime see if it turns over
More like 3 k and dont need paint
Do I hear 4k - 4k going once.. twice…
Doesn't even test anything just says yep let's waste money
Yep
Less talking more footage.
As you wish
i agree with first commentor, The motor is made of aluminum, that stated its probably ok inside, its a old motor but you can find parts. so my advice, simple build a simple outboard motor stand place the motor on it and see if it will turn over, get a loosening spray agent spray the plugs with it, if they are siezed in place. if the motor will not turn over with or with out plugs in use diesel fuel fill the cylinders with diesel fuel let sit for 48 hrs, then see if the pistons will move if not then they are siezed maybe from sitting, you will have to take off the cylinder head cover, next get a rubber mallet and a block of wood and lightly tap each piston see if they move. you may need new coils or points of cleaning up of the old points you will need a carb rebuild kit and a new lower unit impellor check the gearoil in the lower end see if its a milkshake color if so their is water in the gear oil meaning new shaft seals are required. chances are the old motor is fine its not the outside that counts its the inside, you will need new fuel hoses and probably a fuel pump. check out old outboard motor collectors sites they can help you with finding parts. Frankly the new outboards are no near as well built as the one you found with the boat. Best of Luck!
I just walked into my backyard and looked at the motor again... there was a catastrophic failure that I somehow didn't notice the first time I looked at it. This motor without question will never run again :( I will show it in the next video.
@@Pat_Reagan i 'd like too see the issue , look forward to your next video. One other thing their are lots of boats bigger ones for sale for less then the 2500 you may have to spend. thanks for your reply, regards Daniel
