When he wiped sludge on his forehead and said Simba I died. That’s what best buds are for. 😆
The way the engine was cranking I thought that it either had a blow head gasket or some burnt valves. It definitely is easy to replace that head gasket , the engine will run so much better when that it done. I am looking forward to seeing Jens video. Your shop is looking awesome Chris , congrats on that ! 👍🎉🎊
I tell you, Chris... whenever you post a new video, I must drop everything and make the time to view it right away. Your episodes are always so pleasing! Your method of doing things is the way I think I'd like to do it - so similar minds think alike, that sort of stuff. It's great that you can take something that's due for the crusher or junkyard and turn it into something that works again, getting some more use and usually a good time to boot! Keep 'em coming, please! Jenn, Gus and Turbo add an additional touch that's hard to beat... Definitely quality stuff!
... ditto, I totally agree!
when he went "simba" with the oil on yer forehead i fell off my chair laughing
Okay the " Simba" thing was funny AF. Love the video man keep em comin
Bet you'd never have guessed the Canadian invasion would look like this !
One thing I learned a long time ago………. NEVER invite your alcoholic buddies over when doing REAL work. 🤦🏻♂️
yeah this guy alex or whatever his name is......not my kinda guy
That garage is solid! That corner lift will look great, really maximize the space with that. Looking forward to seeing how it comes together
Chris. Leave that Turkey home for the next video. He's kind of annoying. Liked and subscribed! ❤
@@Good-Citizen i thought he was funny, but if on every video you got a point...
@@Good-Citizen THANKS "J" !!!! I like this channel so much...that I was loath to make any kind of criticism. But you are dead on...that guy has issues. Twos Company..Three is a Crowd...especially in this case.
I like that Jenn’s going to help restore the interior and that she’s not giving up on it. Will be watching your channel Jenn.
Jenn puts up good content, just needs to post more often
Thanks, John and Lewis! I would like to post more. I’m still working another job so that takes up a lot of my time. Hopefully soon I can find a better balance that allows me to post more. I appreciate you both for watching Chris’s and my videos!
I like the idea too but what’s the point? The boat is rotten to hell!
@@00700556 not really. The floor can easily be re done. It floats and has decent paint
Smog
just found this vid, with the boat I just finished, I also had to remake the front mount, and did similar. A couple good side plates off a trailer hitch, and some 3/8 U-channel I had sitting around to have it sit on the stringers. No more wood to rot, (I redid the whole wood structure..... the floor was GONE) and the engine weight is on the "structural members". for the bilge pump, I just welded a small bracket onto the engine mount, and hose clamped the pump to it. Works as good as new, nothing to rot, and easy to service
Such a good time whenever you upload Chris. Nothing but respect for you and your craft. Looking forward to seeing the progression of your new shop too. Also for the record I think the long hair scruffy mechanic vibe definitely suits your style lol
If only DADV would keep it shut!
I 2nd that suits him and him personality
Props for the ramp
I drove to another store to buy Blaster starting fluid. Good endorsement by you NNKH.
Some great comedy moments. Saying "China" in a Trump way, the 'smoke on the water' musical pun, etc. Good work. :)
Chris, install a french drain behind the garage, backfill with gravel.
I guarantee after you get that new garage all set up you’ll find the perfect piece of property you’ve been looking for! That’s always the way it is! You definitely need a bigger piece of property!
Yeah I joke about that all the time with jen. Lol. That's how it goes. Maybe it's one of the reasons I'm not in a rush to get everything finished with it. I plan to keep cars stored in there one way or another
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Cruisers beware; PB Blaster repels women!
Loved the comment about needing a Tetanus shot before entering the boat... Great line from "Down Periscope" with Kelsey Grammer!
“Turn on your blower” 😂 “5,000 dollar boat” this guy had some great one liners.
We all need more friends like him.😂 total comic relief👍 hey
Except for the hair cutting. Lol. Don’t need that. The long hair is good
10:50…I had to tell you Chris, I was ecstatic when I saw your toolbox with my sticker on the side. Thank you for sticking that on there!
I like that dude that was hanging out he seems cool and hilarious 😂😂😂
Simba! That was great
I love your friends lazy attitude 😂
I like how you added smoke on the water at 27:25, nice touch.
Lolled at the Simba thing at 4:54 haha
I think it is better when you work by yourself or with Jenn. Glad your truck did not submarine this time ! LOL.
That's the same dock, isn't it?
Your friend is a gem haha
I can see that the boat videos don’t get as many views, but they are my favourite, that’s what attracted me to your videos. Hope you do more.
Your friend is pretty awesome you should bring him back more often!!!
Absolutely hysterical! The chemistry you two have is funny a hell! Great show!! 😅 totally made my day seeing this posted!
Spent many a happy hour on my Raven cruising the Detroit River.
The side commentary from your friend is gold.
Man, the drone shots of you cruising on the water was awesome. Great video 👍🚤
Just watched the Moab trip… and bonus!! New video uploaded!
I knew that was your boat in the 12 year old video!! (I'm the guy who found the video) Looking forward to Jenn transforming the boat!!! Great job on the motor mount. As a doxie owner, always enjoy Gusman's antics and kudos on his new ramp. You have awesome content diversity!! Haven't found youtubers doing frequent boat "will it runs" and there are plenty of cool old derelict boats; hope to see you resurrect more of them!
Chris I know why you're taking the head gasket off the boat engine is because you're a sucker for a pretty face when Jane gives you that smile you melt and you can't do enough for a lovely lady 👌👍. Ralph
your friend is kind of hilarious 😂😂 good vid
This brother or whomever he is, is funny I like when he comes on. Also. Thanks for sharing I wondered about the boat
it's CRAZY how you can see the yellow to orange hues in this video due to the fires in CAN. Love your videos.
Dude,that is just so awesome you put a ramp in for Gus!!! 🥰
This video is sponsered by "its fine" 😄😄 Jen has spoken.....you chose wisely to keep it though Chris 👍
Lol Hi, Phil!
@@jennifersugint hi Jen, hope the air clears soon and the boat gets fixed 👍
I'm looking forward to seeing the progression on the Raven! Also, congrats on the shop, bro! Very nice, looks well built!
Roundabout 20 minutes in, Jen’s smile says everything you need to know about where this is going. That scratches my “happy people” itch for today. There’s nothing like a boat to make your troubles go away and when you get it for a song, that’s the icing on the cake. Most people shovel money into boats faster than they can earn it, so getting one you can afford and managing to enjoy it is just the best.
No worries Jen will make this a great little boat again thanks for sharing this six stars
Hopefully 😂. Thanks Joseph!
Super cool video Chris! That drone shot of you and Jen cruising with the acoustic guitar at 27:39 is butter. Keep going!!!
Simba!...🤣🤣🤣
Smoke on the water was fantastic
I know exactly how you got suckered into working on it more. Your hair is just fine. Thanks for this!
New building looks great Chris. Keep hammering out the videos. You're one of the best. 👍
The only thing i love more than your channel is boats!
"Cool story, where's your fire extinguisher" 😂
Good storytelling on this one :) I like how you show local bars and restaurants. Your pal is funny guy, "Simba" joke got me hard :D
Love the video it’s so awesome that you just spontaneously jump in a boat without even knowing if it’s gonna run I love it that’s what you call living life that boat is a little ball of fire. That thing moves for a little boat. Between you and Jen’s talent I guarantee you can make that boat look 100% awesome again Loving the new garage Chris looks awesome. Can’t wait to see the finished product. I hope you Jen and Gus are doing OK with the bad air quality from the fires in Canada. Stay safe keep up the good work loving the videos. Can’t wait to the next one.💪💪
The high speed boat run was impressive especially with those compression numbers. The boat is cool because it's coming along way to get good again and that's what you two do! Nice garage. TD
My grandfather had a 16.5 foot trihull ski boat with the 140hp Mercruiser. The sound of that motor sure brings back memories.
You guys are awesome. That flirtatious bump at 29 min was classic her in love still. This video was fun and made me smile as a guy that grew up working on boats and living the lake life
Good to see Downstater back. I missed him.
Another great and refreshing video Chris. The new shop is looking good too, can't wait to see how you 'furnish' it. Glad you kept the boat, it's amazing what you can do with 500 bucks and some 'No Nonsense Know How' pun intended!
Every time I get the notification that you’ve uploaded a new video. I literally drop any plans I had that night. Love your stuff man!
Good to see Jen sportin the PFD.
I absolutely love your content. I never miss a video and I've watched all of them. I subscribed all three of your channels and they are great. This video was great. I needed a good laugh. You too are funny together. Keep up the great work
Thanks!!
Im from Alberta Canada and I'm sure I speak for most of Canadians that we are so sorry for the smoke and air quality. not much we can do but still.
I’m glad Jenn wants to keep the boat for now. I’ll love to see you get the engine running well and the interior fixed up. I’m in western Connecticut and the smoke was really bad….very eerie outside.
“Cool story, where’s your fire extinguisher?” My favorite line
Love the boat video. The friend in it I could do without.
Yes! Been waiting for the boat vid!
I've been waiting for this one
39:00 something oddly lovely about hearing your hens in the background while you work.
And myself being a veteran serving in the Marine corps for 20 years I always appreciate when you give a shout out to us from the military background I know I can speak for all of us we enjoy it and we thank you so very much also some of us were meant to serve the country and some of us were naught but the ones who did appreciate your thanks always speaking as a former Staff Sergeant in the Marine corps thank you Chris for your appreciation of our duties serving our country
HEY! Hello Chris and Jen ! Hell yeah!!
Well done on another great video guys. Your going to have to be really careful in regards to storage when moving into the new shop or you will be out of room again before you know it. Ask me how I know😂. You and Jen make a really good team together and Chris, I’m glad you value Jen’s opinions. Even though it’s against your better judgement, Jen wants to keep the boat, so for now you’re keeping and fixing the boat. All the best to you both, cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Don’t forget to weld the alternator bracket or fabricate a new one Chris! 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
Garage builds usually do well on KZhead if you split it in to two videos to kept the length down! Would be interesting. Looks awesome though can’t wait for it to be finished!
chris, love your and jens videos. Im more of a marine nerd, but still enjoy all of your content. Keep up the great work !
Me and my cousin 50 years ago, turning peoples throw aways into useful stuff. We are old men now but still kicking. Keep up the good work
Drinking game! Every time “it’s fine” are spoken you take a shot 😂
Great content! Luv watching you're videos. Learn so much to try, or do things yourself.
I have no idea why . I'm a car guy through and through. But I find myself watching your Boat and Ebike Videos and enjoying them . Cool new shop ! Godspeed Chris and Jen, Gus & Turbo. Although what happened to the Squirrel 🐿️?
4:55 morning coffee through the nose. lol - got me good
Thank you for the update on your new garage/work shop. as you showed us how it's done so far, you do know that later down the road that you can expand that down to almost to the end of your back yard = you'll have everything put away nice and neat (no rain, no sun damage and no snow on your stuff)
Indiana got a little hazy but nothing like what your experiencing, wow! Love your filming and editing man.
Same here in Wisconsin. Very hazy......but it didn't look like a shot from a Mars rover like NY did.
Love the vids. What ever happend to your squirrel buddy? What do you think makes more money flipping cars or boats?
He stopped coming around a long time ago. Hopefully he's all good. And definitely flipping cars. Boats have all sorts of hidden problems.
Maybe the squirrel is flipping boats for him
@@NoNonsenseKnowHowMaybe check the film and tv angles for renting out stunt jet skis and somewhat destructable boats? Is anyone doing a Miami Vice reboot? Would urban Fishing expeditions be a thing up there? Seems like a boat might be a fine canal summer home for friend in need. Def get your money & time back out of it naturally, but simultaneously build a sherlock holmes like network of skater friendly roustabouts to give ya heads up for barn and side street finds? When ya going to do a Cesna will it start?
I just acquired this exact model from a customer. Seeing your work makes me more confident in keeping the boat and doing some work on it; although mine was parts salvaged. My ultimate goal for it will be converting the trailer into a universal one and changing the motor to an electric. Thanks so much for sharing!
You are great Chris, American dream kinda stuff going on here. None of the political nonsense, just fixing stuff, living your life. You and my dad have much in common, he is an independent Mercedes and BMW mechanic, owns and has solely operated his own shop for 35 years in Bend OR, he also loves to buy stuff second hand and fix them up. A dozen cars, 2 boats, a rhino just like yours, 3 motorcycles, 2 snowmobiles and a handful of other stuff. I originally found you when you did a fuel pump replacement on a Mercedes E320, I watched that video to do my own fuel pump in my E320. Been a fan ever since. Please keep up the good work, I personally have really enjoyed watching.
Brilliant video Chris, you know your stuff whether it's cars, motorbikes or boats. Class act.
I'm 50yrs old. I say, grow your hair out while you can!
7:25. Bend allowance guys.. bend allowance😅😅😅
It's not everyday somebody get a new shop! It looks great. That's just nuts, that there is a video of the boat. When you discussed with Jenn about sinking more money into the boat, we all know who came out of the house with pants on, lol. Thanks for the uploads, along with explanation and trouble shooting tutorials.
That’s the kinda friend you only hangout with once in a blue moon and get reminded why you don’t like hanging out with him…
Your better half knowns best she a keepers
Glad you made a ramp for Gus We have a Doxie and she has back problems. Had to stop her from jumping. Love your videos!
You and your buddy are hilarious! You mess with each other like my buddy and I do. We were checking cameras on a property where there are hogs. My buddy was head down, butt up pulling the SD card so I had to shoot a round into the dirt just to mess with him. What you guys is funny, but quite a bit safer...sorta.
Don't cut your hair! It's fine. It suits you.
this!!
Bleach it !
Good ol' caveman look It does fit Chris though
Was here to say I also vote that you keep flying that Freak Flag! I wish I hadn't cut mine long ago becuz SCUBA was a PUTA when my locks would inevitably loose from its binds and make it like swimming thru kelp... Love the boat. If you cleaned out that hole back to transom, reboarded/released then replaced engine floor and blew some 2 part epoxy foam it would be stronger than new! But yeah, pulling the motor starts to make it hard to stop restoring... Love it! Rebuilt/built a few in my Waterman Days.
He's keeping it long so he can use the womens restroom without getting hassled.
Hey bro I enjoy your antics but man u do some sketchy shit, keep it up. Jen ur a brave lady.
With you all the way, Jen -- I love my first boat too (no matter how bad a shape it is)! Teaches you a lot, lots of fun projects! It's love! Chris, you're a champ! It's amazing how much you know and can fix -- wow! Mega respect! You ARE the man! God bless!
interesting that you are getting smoke from Canadian Forest fires and where I live in Canada we get smoke from American forest fires out of Washington, Idaho etc...love the lines of the boat also! Had the same 4banger in my 18'Wellcraft All American....reliable motor!
Other guy “ the bushing is shot” Chris - “eh the bushing will be alright” Other dude. “ yeah it’ll buff out “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like something me an my best friend would say
You gotta have your friend in more videos,had me laughing.”Boeing Skunkworks” 😂
That’s going to be a great upgrade for a garage.awesome 👍
Your friend was correct, you look better with short hair. Great job, videos are good. I have seen them all.
Great video (with the exception of your buddy and his lame-ass comedy routine). I was hoping to get a peek at the garage soon..looks great!
