FREE 1960's Boat with 90hp Evinrude WILL IT RUN?

Balls of steel, doesn't even sort out the navigation lights until after dinner way down the river then putts in on fumes, absolute legend.

"i get bored of things........except Jen"......good save Chris 😂😂😂😂

I love the mix of things you save! Boats, trucks, cars, Jeeps, etc. The variety is awesome!

Your statement about good neighbors is so true and so important. We always say that we won the neighbor lottery where we live. Incredibly great people and we all help each other whenever we can!

Old Evinrudes and Johnsons are basically the small block Chevy, and Fords of the boat community. A crescent wrench, duct tape, and plugs will typically get them back alive. Ditch the boat, and keep the outboard

G,day Chris from Sydney Australia. Great instructional video on replacing; the * cylinder head and gasket * supply 12v straight to starter * check the prop shaft gear oil * replace the gas pump * connect nav lights 🌏🇭🇲

This one ticked all my boxes... some MacGyver wrenching, the gorgeous river, the lovely Ms. Jen and the Gus man! Blessed life my friend Thanks for another great ride.

"BEST neighbor ever". I had them also because I was always able to help them with their automobiles and household repairs...That's how it works !

Man I loved the wasp eradication Chris, that was borderline brilliant

Just for info, the exhaust coming from up the motor is what we call ( in france ) "échappement de port" which means "harbor exhaust" It's a way to not pollute the water in the harbor or at the dock when you're at idle, when you pick up speed the pressure of the exhaust pick up and most of it will go through your prop like what you know Hope it help you ! I'm a beginner marine mechanic just discovered your channel and i love it keep up the good work man !

That Honda VTEC outboard actually has a J series V6 in it straight out of a Honda Odyssey, The smaller ones (150hp) actually use a K series from an Accord. I believe some of the smaller ones in the hundred horsepower range used the old single overhead cam Civic engines.

Love the "Junky Boat" vids. Nice work.

That old girl moves right along. Sounds good!

I love this boat and engine. the problem with it for your channel is you wont have enough problems with it. this is probably a great skier too.

I love how u wing it when it comes to lights, registration, title, gas tank, gas, etc. Another great video.

LOVE your can-do attitude Chris... You are One of a Kind man 👍👍👍

Those shirts are dope. I want one! Loving these boat projects btw. You’re a stand up kinda dude and it’s fun watching you and Jenn in y’all’s adventures. Keep ‘em coming

Great video Chris! I thought that boat was going to leave you and Jen stranded at first. I like Downstater ADV’s humor. He’s got good content on his channel as well.

Another phenomenal vid, Chris! Love anything you and Miss Jenn and Gus and Turbo bring us ! Grea t content, from a great young American couple! So much fun. And like others have said, I love the mix of content, and but especially the boat stuff! My Grandpa worked for Johnson Motors for close to 40 years, and so I grew up with all this kind of stuff. That's an Evinrude Motor for sure. OMC (Outboard Marine Corporation) made Inboard / Outboard Motors, and the Cobra was their foray into that World. They could never quite nail it down like Mercruiser. Always chasing. The Cobras were getting good though, before OMC started to crash. But they made some of the best outboard motors in the World, with the tried and true Johnsons and Evinrudes. Great motors, and the V4 was awesome! So wide compared to the tall Mercs. OMC also made the Sea-Drives.... a kinda weird out-drive... not really outboard... not really inboard / outboard. A weird looking thing, and I don't think they ever quite got them right either. But you can't go wrong with an ole' Evinrude or Johnson! I'm with others.... the boat is whatever. But you got something great in that motor - for free! Very distinctive sound when you hear an Evinrude or Johnson cranking. I grew up with that great sound! Also - VRO is basically what you said.... Variated Ratio Oil Injection. The first few years OMC did id... it was not good. Not reliable. It got better for sure. But you can't beat he old gas/oil mix. You're safe to got that way until you can get your arms around that VRO system, and be sure it's working. or maybe just keep it bypassed. I'd put that motor on another boat.

Instead of hanging out at the bar or watching TV, playing video games, etc this guy occupied his time in life tinkering and learning. Now he can fix anything. How I wish kids today would embrace a hands on approach to life like this.
