00:00

you ready oh man all right let's see

00:03

what

00:06

happens if you didn't see it I've made

00:09

two really really bad life decisions in

00:11

the videos before on the Crusty lobster

00:13

boat

00:15

video this is really bad decisions part

00:18

three installing a really awesome

00:20

Cummins engine into my new crusty

00:22

Lobster boook wait a second how do we

00:25

get to this engine starting well we had

00:27

to remove the old one and if you want to

00:29

see take out this engine this is a video

00:31

part two link below before we put this

00:33

new engine in I've got to clean these

00:35

engine mounts out now I can do my

00:37

favorite thing in the world collect the

00:39

40-year-old bilge sauce I got to

00:42

pressure wash the inside of this get it

00:43

nice and

00:44

clean the engine room also needs to be

00:46

expanded so I'm going to cut this

00:48

fiberglass and balls of core and expand

00:50

the engine bay to hold this new engine

00:52

this new engine is actually a little bit

00:53

narrower below but it's fatter on the

00:55

top so some modifications need to be

00:58

happening

01:00

a little bit of the wood is rot out on

01:01

the inside so we're going to replace it

01:03

with new Douglas

01:05

[Music]

01:15

fur wa look at that this is the cumins

01:19

qsb 5.9 I got the 380 horsepower version

01:22

I spent about $26,000 in this motor I

01:26

can't believe I paid for this a lot more

01:28

than I thought I would ever be spending

01:29

on a boat motor however marinai stuff is

01:31

extremely expensive and I want the best

01:34

quality so I bought a used secondhand

01:36

motor this motor is a 2007 engine with

01:40

400 hours on it and that is exactly what

01:42

you will get if you spend this kind of

01:44

money why did they do this oh did I also

01:47

mentioned that this transmission for

01:48

this boat is very expensive this was

01:50

also about

01:51

$9,000 yeah boats are really really

01:53

expensive and I kind of really regret

01:55

all this so far but I think I'm going to

01:57

have a really sweet boat by the time

01:58

this is done all right Sam let's see see

02:00

what you've done

02:02

here all that bits great look at that

02:05

like he's an expert machinist or

02:07

something well moving on with my poor

02:09

life decisions it's time to put this

02:10

motor in the boat we made some new

02:12

aluminum brackets but first we're going

02:13

to lower the engine down get a look on

02:15

things take some measurements pull the

02:16

engine back up drill the brackets and

02:18

install them hammering them these are

02:20

just some big Overkill pieces of

02:22

aluminum angle iron that should be

02:24

definitely suited for this

02:28

job

02:31

oh hey how's it going you may be

02:32

wondering how I got here well it turns

02:34

out I don't want to pay a professional

02:35

do this so currently there's 1,500lb

02:38

engine hanging above my head suspended

02:39

by two

02:40

4x4s and I do not have health insurance

02:43

currently how's your day

02:48

going all right Sam you definitely are

02:51

Jack of all trades let's see how this

02:52

thing works out it should be close we

02:55

got the PVC we got the end of the oh my

02:58

God look at look at that it's like whip

02:59

really within the ballar for a bunch of

03:01

amateurs wrestling around with a giant

03:02

engine and a boat never building boats

03:05

this turned out really good that's a

03:07

huge weight off my shoulder man there is

03:09

definitely not a user guide for this

03:10

kind of crap now the really cool thing

03:12

about 3D printing is you can make all

03:13

sorts of things and we got this special

03:15

Gadget if you haven't figured it out yet

03:17

this is a laser jig I've seen people

03:19

align these motors and half's really

03:21

tricky about this style of boat is the

03:23

engine is actually aligned to the drive

03:25

shaft the drive shaft is built into the

03:26

boat and then the engine is aligned to

03:28

that so this is going to go on the back

03:30

of the transmission if this laser comes

03:32

straight out the back side of the engine

03:34

the boat hole on the back it's dead

03:36

center so I'm going to take some

03:38

measurements and we're going use this

03:39

laser beam to get this thing as straight

03:41

as possible so we can get the engine

03:42

going in because there's no U-joints or

03:44

anything flexible in this drive line

03:46

situation it's literally a shaft a

03:48

coupler and the engine you have to get

03:50

it like perfect with these little screw

03:52

holes I designed I can adjust windage

03:54

and elevation and get this thing

03:56

perfectly bore set it's actually a bore

03:59

sight for a gun so that worked out

04:00

fantastically oh it's getting so close

04:03

look it's like over there on the ground

04:05

I I need to tweak this a little bit more

04:07

we're getting so close to this is

04:10

fantastic now for total amateurs I've

04:13

just been reading around the internet

04:14

and apparently we're supposed to get

04:15

this engine within about 300s of an inch

04:18

but I misread that and I thought it was

04:19

3,000 of an inch so with fuer gauges we

04:22

got it extremely close and the expert

04:24

came out and he freaked out because uh

04:26

it was a lot closer than most people

04:27

typically get so I guess that makes me

04:28

feel pretty good although credit is due

04:30

where credit is due Sam is the one who

04:32

really could figure this thing out so

04:34

without Sam this probably would have

04:35

been a lot worse so anyways that anent

04:37

Lin is spoton Sav me a lot of money and

04:39

time because both people are not cheap

04:40

to hire for anything and there's one

04:42

thing I'm learning about this boat is

04:44

that I bid off more than I can chew and

04:46

it is also requiring me to learn a bunch

04:49

of things or perhaps pick up new skills

04:51

that I need to learn which is why I'm

04:53

happy that skillshare is sponsoring this

04:55

video skillshare is a massive online

04:57

community filled with thousands of

04:58

experts passion on all sorts of subjects

05:00

on things that you want to learn about

05:01

the neat thing about this boat is I'm

05:02

also learning a ton of new skills to

05:04

make this boat happen such as the laser

05:06

guided 3D printed jig and if you want to

05:08

learn how to make this and things just

05:09

like it at home skillshare has a

05:11

complete courses on Fusion 360 the

05:13

software that I used to design this part

05:14

now the very neat thing about the way

05:16

skillshare works is that if you're

learn as fast as possible and also go

05:29

back and look for any bit of information

05:30

that you might have been missing it's

05:32

the year 2024 the boat's still not in

05:34

the water but my skills are definitely

05:35

improving if you want to improve your

05:37

the link down the description below the

05:44

first 500 people that clicked the link

05:45

down description below we'll get a 1mon

05:47

free trial of skillshare now it's on to

05:50

fixing more of the drive stuff with the

05:52

boat this damage to this through hole

05:56

where the shaft goes for the drive line

05:58

I'm going to actually use this as some

06:01

sort of mold just kind of put some epoxy

06:05

back there put this plate

06:07

on and tighten it and pull the plate off

06:11

few hours later

06:14

and dang look at

06:17

that and we're back so I got the Sha

06:19

today built this crazy rig right here to

06:22

kind of hold that lucky for me I found a

06:25

secondhand shot for some awesome guys up

06:27

in North Rhode Island is that

06:28

Massachusetts I think it's Mass Jesus

06:29

that's where I got this shaft anyways

06:31

we're going to put this in the boat it's

06:32

a solid piece of stainless steel better

06:34

than the old tolbin bronze shaft I had

06:36

so I'm very confident this stuff we also

06:39

upgraded the shaft size the old shaft

06:41

that is in this boat was a 1 and 3/4 in

06:43

shaft this is now a 2-in piece of

06:45

stainless steel we'll put this ram rod

06:48

in and tighten it up it's time for magic

06:52

will it fit did we do all this for

06:58

nothing and that is how you do the drive

07:01

line in the boat watch your head you got

07:03

it free yeah hey that's a cool shirt you

07:06

got there I wonder where I got that

07:07

from

07:11

Timber all right I can finally get some

07:13

of this crap off get a good look at this

07:15

boat so in between working on the engine

07:16

and all that other crazy stuff I also

07:18

wanted to remodel the rest of the boat

07:20

so obviously we finished cutting out the

07:21

windows and reinstalling them if you

07:23

want to see what it used to look like

07:24

check out the first video before we

07:25

really cut this thing up the old windows

07:27

were leaky too so they kind of needed to

07:29

be f fix well I went for the over fix

07:31

thing and literally just redid the

07:32

entire Pilot House to look

07:34

[Music]

07:40

different now we're going to increase

07:41

this combing on the back side combing

07:43

roof overhang I don't really know what

07:44

it's called but anyways so we're going

07:45

to extend it because I want to place to

07:46

get away from the weather and I think it

07:48

looks a lot

07:52

neater for a lot of this stuff we're

07:54

going to use total boat fairing I didn't

07:55

realize this but total boat make this

07:57

really cool two-part epoxy putty that

07:58

you mix together and it l turns this

08:00

green color and you can smear it

08:01

everywhere and fill your boat out or

08:04

whatever you're working on it's making

08:05

this a whole lot easier because I really

08:07

thought I had to fiberglass this whole

08:08

thing build up layers of fiberglass sand

08:10

it all down and try to put resin on it

08:12

when you can really just fill it in

08:14

addition to fiberglassing of course so

08:16

we're getting really itchy my dad also

08:17

came out and helped finish up the roof

08:19

because uh this thing is this is a

08:20

serious project and it's getting into

08:22

the month of uh September

08:26

now I learned this really neat trick

08:28

from another YouTuber who built boats

08:29

you lay out some cardboard down and you

08:31

trace it to your part and then you take

08:33

that cardboard and put on your new

08:34

template it's like a really fast way to

08:36

make templates and it is dead on

08:37

accurate whoever came up with that

08:39

cardboard or stick trick from framing up

08:42

stuff that you just don't want to

08:43

measure that turned out awesome look how

08:45

tight those gaps are no musing no

08:47

fussing with measuring and whatever just

08:50

cut it to fit and then you got yourself

08:52

whatever panel you're working on one

08:54

more thing I got to work on is the Mas

08:56

on this boat I don't think I want to buy

08:57

a Mas and I kind of want to build my so

08:59

we're going to get some 6061 pieces of

09:01

aluminum now I don't have a welder cable

09:03

of welding this up so I just pay someone

09:04

to weld it but now it's time to paint it

09:06

all right now time for the masterful

09:08

centerpiece Crown I don't know what you

09:09

call it let's put this thing on the roof

09:11

this thing will definitely hold my

09:12

search light and will also hold the

09:13

radar and some other fun LEDs and

09:15

doodads and look cool on top of the boat

09:17

no boats complete without

09:18

one so this boat is definitely changing

09:21

a lot it used to look like this on the

09:22

roof and now it looks like this

09:25

definitely kind of improvement in my

09:28

opinion

09:30

for this boat there are a bunch of

09:31

through hul fittings for picking up seaw

09:33

water and running auxiliary pumps and

09:35

stuff like that however they were too

09:37

many today was nothing but tons of

09:39

grinding and sanding cuz we had to patch

09:41

all these through holes there's five and

09:44

we're going down to three one for a wash

09:47

down pump one for the engine and one

09:49

hole for the transducer for figuring out

09:51

how deep the water

09:53

is wow it's a lot of G10 that board over

09:56

there that was $800 boat building is

10:00

definitely not cheap rather than doing

10:02

it the way they used to have it with

10:02

some wood blocks we're going to embed

10:04

these giant pieces of G10 fiberglass

10:07

epoxy them down fiberglass them in and

10:09

then fiberglass filled on other parts of

10:10

the boat where I plan to plug the

10:11

through holes and now I'm giving the new

10:13

through holes these huge backing blocks

10:15

because I really want to make sure none

10:16

of these fittings tear out because if

10:17

these tear out you have a really big

10:19

hole in your boat and it would sink very

10:21

fast if you don't catch it you know

10:23

you're doing it the right way when you

10:24

have a generator a TIG buer the titig

10:27

pedal and a ladder and now you're about

10:30

to do the jankiest weld you've ever

10:33

done and that would be my first

10:36

stainless steel tigw laugh about it in

10:38

the

10:40

[Applause]

10:41

comments the heck is holding it

10:44

up oh were you holding it I was holding

10:48

it

10:52

up these exhaust parts come from seabo

10:55

Marine they designed and do all sorts of

10:57

Custom Fabrication and things like that

10:59

if you got any sort of boat project

11:00

you're working on that has a engine

11:02

or if you need to get a ZF transmission

11:04

these guys are definitely the expert

11:05

they've helped me with a lot of my

11:06

questions and I really appreciate them

11:07

taking the time out to help someone kind

11:09

of dumb like me figure this stuff out

11:12

all

11:12

right time to install the heavy fuel

11:16

filter this is only a couple thousand

11:19

freaking dollars rayor fuel filters

11:22

installed so I'm going to install the

11:24

fuel filter because it's very important

11:26

that I don't have contaminated diesel

11:27

fuel going to my motor cuz I want to

11:29

make sure this motor is happy and

11:31

healthy it's important to do some

11:33

preventative maintainance so this is the

11:34

engine after cooler it cools the

11:35

turbocharged air mixes it through

11:37

radiator with sea

11:39

water I want to make sure this thing

11:41

doesn't corrode or have any leaks so

11:42

we're going to pressure test this real

11:44

fast and then once we're done with that

11:45

we're going to lube it up with some

11:46

metal Lube so it's easy to take apart in

11:48

the future and

11:49

clean and for the next step we put oil

11:52

in the

11:53

motor and then I think we're good to

11:55

start this thing and see what happens

11:57

all right the time has come we we're

11:59

going to hook up all the electronics on

12:00

the boat if it blows up I want it on

12:02

camera uh let's see so now this cumins

12:06

engine has a little ECU doohickey that

12:08

needs constant 12vt power we're going to

12:10

plug that in right now and now I got to

12:12

wire up some of the additional engine

12:13

stuff fortunately for me and this

12:15

marinized version of this engine a lot

12:17

of things are really plug-and-play and

12:18

that's thanks to Seaboard Marine they've

12:20

actually designed a whole bunch of

12:21

controls for my motor a to turn this on

12:24

yeah this comes on so I think the

12:26

engine's trying to Prime itself right

12:28

now it's making this priming noise I

12:30

think it's it's a lift pump lifting the

12:32

diesel from the fuel tanks to the fuel

12:34

filter to the motor and I think all we

12:36

have to do is hit start turn it on

12:39

voltage is moving you ready oh man all

12:42

right let's see what

12:43

[Music]

12:48

happens oh damn this thing fires right

12:50

up that's a huge relief off of my

12:53

shoulders when I did buy this engine I

12:54

did see it running so I I knew I was

12:56

getting something that's working but you

12:57

got to wonder that if you did did it

12:59

right you know after moving it all

13:00

around manhandling it for a while it

13:01

seems pretty happy and okay for

13:06

now so we can't run the engine for very

13:08

long right now cuz I got to finish the

13:10

rest of this exhaust stuff

13:12

up and right now it's using the internal

13:14

radiator fluid I'm not sure if that what

13:16

what's that called cuz there's no

13:17

radiator there's a heat exchanger give

13:19

it some

13:24

juice so you can start it without an

13:27

actual water system but you have to disc

13:28

water pump and all that stuff but you

13:30

can't run for very

13:32

long so

13:39

cool I wouldn't keep it on much

13:57

longer

13:59

sounds so

14:27

cool

14:30

I am very happy with

14:38

this this thing sounds awesome it starts

14:41

that's amazing you're probably watching

14:43

this video in January or maybe February

14:46

I said I was going to launch the boat

14:48

last year and well let's just say I bit

14:49

off a little bit more than I can shoot

14:51

now I'm very happy because the boat has

14:52

an engine in it it's got the prop shaft

14:54

and everything in there and we're

14:56

getting very close to putting it back in

14:57

the water there are still bunch of

14:59

cosmetical things I need to finish up

15:01

however it is way too cold to work on

15:03

the boat anymore and quite frankly I got

15:05

to work on some other projects to afford

15:07

this boat it's extremely expensive but

15:09

Winter's going to be here soon so I have

15:10

no choice but to winterize I know

15:13

there's water in here cuz it blew it out

15:14

but might as well put some of this crap

15:16

in here to make sure it doesn't freeze

15:19

or the water doesn't freeze and break

15:20

parts of my engine that really shouldn't

15:22

be

15:22

[Music]

15:25

broken look forward to part four coming

15:28

really soon where the boat actually will

15:29

go in the water probably coming this

15:32

July make sure you check out part one

15:34

and part two if you want to see more of

15:35

the lobster boat and make sure you

15:37

subscribe if you want to see part four

15:38

because we're going to put this thing in

15:39

the water and we're finally going to be

15:41

able to do some research on the water

15:43

this boat is actually support vessel for

15:45

a bunch of projects if I haven't really

15:46

made this clear by now is that this boat

15:48

is literally going to be used as a

15:49

vessel to allow me to get to places so I

15:51

can fly airplanes or do things on the

15:53

water submarine airplane anyone that

15:55

one's coming

15:57

soon

16:01

just kind of hold it there just slowly

16:03

go up a little bit and hold

16:10

[Music]

16:14

it
