First Test Drive Of My Italian Yacht After It Sank - WILL IT WORK?

hey what's up everybody welcome back to

another episode of B is for boat we're

out here working on my boat why you may

ask because about a month ago I got a

phone call on my birthday saying your

boat has sank and it did it sank so we

called a dive team we got it refloated

we pumped all the water out cleaned it

up and the first step we did was get the

engines just running again after we got

the engines running we dried everything

out we reworked a lot of the electronics

and we checked everything that was

broken on the boat we gave you guys a a

detailed report in the last episode of

everything that didn't make it through

the sinkage in today's episode we're all

about fixing all that stuff replacing

everything that we can that was in stock

and that we could order we're going to

replace all of those things then we're

going to tune the engines and take the

boat out for the first time since

sinking the goal is to get this thing

out on the water for the first time

since it sank just basically verifying

that it can still boat around and do

boat stuff that's what's in store for

today's episode let's get to it all

right guys to get started we're actually

going to jump you right back into some

work we just did at the shop all right

we're back back at the shop now uh right

behind me you'll see our new purchase

you're going to be this is a long story

why we're even going down this road but

it'll all make sense eventually so I

just uh Oscar and I just picked this up

off of Facebook Marketplace this is like

a virtually brand new 7 horsepower what

is the brand on this thing you might

think it's a Yamaha but it's a

hangai yep anyways it's a specimen it

looks great and this is a 7 horsepower

motor and it costs only $250 $50 and

then what I had in my storage at the old

shop a dingy this thing did float the

last time I tried it out uh as you can

maybe kind of see by the amount of sand

on it that was in the ocean so why are

we building a second boat you might ask

okay so we need to tune our engines we

need to get them tuned up and running

perfectly good cannot tune the engines

inside the marina because if something

goes wrong and the engines run rich

it'll spit a little bit of gas part

particles and stuff in the exhaust it

spits it out the exhaust and then it

makes the marina look really bad if

there's gas on the water it's like a

it's an absolute no-go it's something we

can't risk so we need to move the boat

out into the river um and we could tune

it out there just a lot less um

liability ton less liability so I

figured you know we could hire somebody

to tow us out there or we could try a 7

horsepower output motor and a dinghy to

tow a 26,000 lb 44 foot long yacht what

could go wrong all right we're going to

test inflate the dinghy and test Mount

the motor

[Music]

[Music]

mingy now this didn't actually come with

the boat I got this in a in a business

deal uh I don't know like second year B

for build or something anyways uh we we

filled it up and we've got some got some

leakage around the valv and I think it's

caused by the sand so we're going to

have to uh unfill it it's similar to

sinking about actually it's just get

some soy watero yeah soy watero yeah

miss you Chris viix can't wait to see

you oh by the way I'm going to visit

Chris and tarish when I'm out uh there

I'm driving in the freedom 500 I guess I

haven't made that announcement on the

YouTube channel I did on Instagram I'm

driving in the freedom 500 over at the

freedom Factory first place gets a

helicopter so I'm I'm taking it very

seriously I've practiced driving left a

lot um and uh I'm really I'm really

excited so I'll give you guys more

information tickets already sold out but

you can live stream it and I'll give you

more information as we get a little bit

closer to that uh but it's going to be

really really fun so uh but I am going

to go see Chris fix and tar so let me

know if there's anything you guys want

me to maybe film for the the second

Channel or anything else like that oh

and while I mentioned in the second

Channel I'll put a link right here down

in the description to our second channel

it's just kind of behind the scenes

stuff and a lot of people had asked me

to get more in depth on the insurance

and what happened with the boat how much

money we expecting to get from the

insurance company and why I feel like I

kind of got scammed and all that good

stuff so we will be talking about that

uh and there's an episode right now on

the second Channel and so now we deflate

the

[Music]

boat dude this thing is going to rip I'm

excited so it says on the back here uh

the the uh the official documentation

board uh it wants Max of four horsepower

so we're almost doubling that which is

straight up the Beast for build alley uh

I'm so excited about this like this is a

great Facebook Marketplace find this

thing's pretty much brand new uh what

was the story didn't the guy say he

bought it for his boat and it just

couldn't get his boat going quite fast

enough said he had like a big section in

between the boat the motor and where he

sat so he just couldn't reach it oh yeah

oh just got rid of it yeah I mean it's

pretty much brand new uh we're going to

go ahead and Fire up for you uh it's

looking like as far as it's height like

going into the water I think we're

that's I don't know enough about boating

and boats and stuff but um I'm going to

learn uh but uh that that looks pretty

good to me uh we figured out some stuff

with the forwards and the reverse and

the gearing and everything like that um

Oscar's going to go ahead and give it a

start unless it's is it too high up or

uh I'll try yeah so let there's a primer

right yep one two

three look out grard coming grindhard

coming cry hard Plumbing here we come

you ready yeah

sure nice a weak hole too yeah this is a

fourstroke uh motor so it's nice and

it's quiet um so are we in gear right

there no it's a neutral it's a neutral

just it okay so let's give it this

forward there we go that's neutral and

that's uh

reverse oh man I'm so excited for this

thing SS nice yeah you want to give us

some

revs

nice sounds like a lawn mower it's a

good lawn mower 7 horsepower lawn mower

you kill it right here yeah

cool dude this this is awesome all right

so we're going to leave this for the

rest of the day and make sure it doesn't

deflate on us before we take it to the

water tomorrow

want to take a quick second out to thank

our sponsor today's episode is sponsored

by Carly so everybody has seen just your

standard OBD2 scanner but this is much

much more you get manufacturer level

Diagnostics you get customization

through coding you can get live data

which I'm going to show you in a second

to diagnose a multitude of different

problems and service functions so there

is a ton of stuff packed into this guy

and the app which I'm going to show you

right now let's go ahead and jump into

my Range Rover and take a look so like I

said before the Carly app and scanner

can provide manufacturer level

Diagnostics cing customization and

access to hidden information inside your

car and you always want to check the

website to see what works with your car

so this is my daily driver and it's had

a few issues here and there and I've

used Carly on in the past so it's got my

history here and I'm going to go ahead

and run a diagnostic scan to see where

we're sitting now while this is scanning

I want to mention something else I think

is really cool is is Carly's very DIY

focused it's the idea is help keep you

out of the dealership and let you work

on your own car and help you uh diagnose

issues help you maintain your car's

health and help you unlock really cool

features inside your car that you may

not know where ever there all right my

diagnostic scan is complete and I'll be

honest it doesn't look good so the red

ones are the ones that I really focus on

those are critical so on the critical

one we only have one and that's the

catalytic converter which I actually

already knew about my catalytic

converter is a little special but some I

didn't know about is the transfer case

is mad it says that we've got an actual

change over solenoid which is voltage is

high and then it says that we've got

some system voltage unstable so let's go

ahead and jump into the smart mechanic

and see what it's got to say about that

so it says that's related to under

voltage or over voltage issues

potentially in the car and now that I

think of it some of these codes are

stored in the history of the vehicle and

I actually know why we would be having

voltage issues so that code was old and

why we had voltage issues is about 2

months ago my alternator went out and

now I've got a new alternator but it

makes an interesting sound and that's

why I'm going to jump into another

feature of the Carly which is the live

data cuz I want to read the live data on

my alternator and see how it's doing I'm

going to go ahead and fire it

[Music]

up and let's look and find the voltage

right here we can see our battery

voltage a nice 14 volts uh and that

means it's running well and it's

charging up the battery like it should I

had heard some sounds and I thought it

might have been fluctuating but it's

holding very nice and steady and I think

everything's good so guys if you don't

already have Carly I highly suggest it

check out the link in my description

right now to pick yours up and if you

use my code B is for build 24 you can

save 15% off of your Carly order huge

thanks to Carly for sponsoring this

episode let's get back to it guys we

made it down to the boat we put the boat

on the boat uh we forgot to bring enough

life jackets to be able to go test the

boat but we will we will definitely do

that shortly we got a ton of new stuff

and another hair brand idea to start off

this day we're going to start working on

the fuel system fuel water system so the

idea is now we're going to build an

inline fuel puller outer of the tank

Runner through the filters and drop it

back in the tank system a loop a

filtration loop system so I bought fuel

pumps I bought filters I got hoses let's

see what we can construct

all right guys sorry I apologize by the

time I got done doing this it got a

little dark but here's what we got going

on this is a small feed line from our

fuel cell that's a return line from our

to our fuel cell um that is the 300g

fuel cell that may have water in it

we're not really sure uh it runs from

the feed line up into an inline fuel

pump into a uh fuel filter and water

separator and another fuel filter water

separator then back down and then into

the tank what I hold right here is a

little switch that runs the uh runs all

the way back to our batteries back there

that will turn this on Oscar's work

working on wiring up that battery and

then I'm going to hit this switch and

I'm really going to hope that this fuel

pump can prime that far cuz it's uh

that's a challenging run to do that's

like 4et vertical uh but it' be great if

it could cuz I don't want to have to

prime it myself you might also be able

to hear there's a little bit of a pump

running we are doing another oil change

on the engines I think we're going to be

on our last oil change that was like

three or four oil changes total to get

all the water circulated out of the

engines this one is a lot better but

that one had a little little too much

oil in it for our liking too much water

oh yeah yeah oil's good water's not uh

so we good Oscar yeah all right I'm

going to flip this all right let's

see it's making sounds there we

go that's interesting and then we're

over

here and I guess we're now going back

into the tank um what's gas and what's

water who

knows all right guys it's the next day

and uh I learned something we drained a

little bit of this out of here and uh as

you can see it doesn't look very

gasoline and you would be right it's

water it's like pretty much 100% water

it is definitely not even

flammable um it's water so that means

that you know the these are going to go

down to the bottom of the tank Gas and

Water separate so you're going to see

that the gas is always going to be

floating above the water gas is going to

stay up here water's going to be down

there so this is going to be pulling

from the bottom of the tank it's going

to be pulling up the water that's in the

tank it's a lot more than I thought it

was going to be so rather than trying to

separate it a cup at a time we're just

going to start pumping the gas out of

the tank into some buckets well sorry I

we're not pumping gas out into buckets

we're actually pumping the water out

into the buckets um and then uh if we

start getting into pure gas or what

looks like pure gas then we can start

running it through these gas water

separators and uh have a shot at getting

it really really clean but for now we

got a probably got a lot of water in

there so got to do our best to get it

all out let's go a shot I don't know why

we got the lighter so close to the uh

gas water mixture it's because honestly

off film I tried to light it on fire

last night and uh it doesn't so this is

just all water um you I wish you could

smell it on the camera but it's uh it

literally smells smells like nothing it

just smells like a little kind of skunky

water and um well we'll let you know how

much we get out of here I estimated when

I when I popped the cap off of the fuel

cell it looked like it was at about half

which is where we thought we left it as

far as gas goes so you know we could

have I don't think we have 100 gallons

of water in there definitely not but we

could have 20 30 40 I'd be surprised if

it was over 50 but let's see all right

that's five gallons of water down all

right that's 10 gallons of water we

brought five of these total so let's

hope we don't fill them all these all

have to go to the recycling center and

it is such a pain so imagine after we

fill these all up we have to take a huge

break put these all in the cars and

trucks and drive them to recycling

center and drive all the way back it

takes a long time well forgot to record

the next one but that's 15 great weather

day we got today nice windy rainy if

it's high winds like this we're not

going to be able to use the dinghy idea

cuz the winds will overpower the dinghy

for sure uh anyways we filled up uh five

5 G buckets so we got to take those to

the recycling center do another round

before it's too dark starting off this

day a little bit differently in the most

dangerous parking garage in the world

which is always going to be a Hospital

parking garage because let's just say

there's a lot of people that aren't very

good at driving in these things anyways

those of you that have been watching the

channel for a long time know that uh I

had cancer cancer diagnosis about 2 and

a half well about 3 years ago uh did

surgery did treatment

did blah blah blah but I'm still in a

phase where I have to uh continue uh

with monitoring which is just like you

know keep looking at my body doing scans

and hoping I don't have any uh any like

reoccurrences or the cancer doesn't uh

didn't spread too far cuz I had a very

very dangerous um very intrusive uh

cancer that spread to my lymph nodes

anywh who very happy to tell you guys

all that um I I just went in I got scans

I got my skin all checked over I got

everything and the results have came
