Today I bought the cheapest speed boat on facebook marketplace and got it running! The boat is a 1996 Baja outlaw 20 with a 5.7L MerCruiser engine! Stay tuned for the next video where we take this boat out for its first water test!

Why you dont say the price why is the price a state secret the title says cheap how can we judge if you dont say the price

@MasonKrug Ай бұрын

Well to be honest with you buddy I wasn’t looking for anyone to judge if it was cheap or not, but if you must know I paid $2k for it which is EXTREMELY cheap for this boat.

My boat is identical except it’s the 320hp MAG EFI version. They are awesome boats extremely fun. Trim tabs help these boats a ton. It’s looking like you have a plugged water jacket in the manifold/riser.

Heck yeah! yes sir I’m hoping it just needs to be cleared out

@dockholiday4915 Ай бұрын

Those bits you pulled out of the t-stat housing looked like rubber. If an old impeller ever broke apart, the pieces like to get stuch in the t-stat and the oil coolers. Back flush the system and look for chunks of old impeller.

@MasonKrug Ай бұрын

No sir they were metal pieces, but i appreciate the advice!

soak the risers in muriatic acid and clean out the water jackets. i had the same boat a few years back. benefited a lot when i swapped the intake and installed a 4 barrel Q jet. The original thunder bolt distributor has a big curve. not sure you will achieve the power band with the after market with no advance . good luck . im following to see the outcome

@MasonKrug Ай бұрын

That’s a good idea! I might have to try soaking them if it does overheat! I want to switch to a 4 barrel but I also want to do heads, and a cam so I’m probably just going to wait to do it all at once. I’ve heard different opinions on locking out the timing “some love it and some hate it” but that’s what we’ve always done on are airboats and we love it, it’s easy to dial in and it’s really snappy with all that timing down low. I appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!!!

Those cooling systems won’t cool properly just pulling the thermostat so If it does overheat it’s could be partly from running without the thermostat in it

@Billyo234 Ай бұрын

It’ll also cause the uneven flow to the exhaust

Switch the wires on the oil read out. Think about it. It was maxed instead of zero.

@allenlebaron8993 Ай бұрын

as long as you can tell when the oil pressure is going up or down it’s probably fine if it’s not perfectly accurate

@MasonKrug Ай бұрын

Yes sir I ordered a new sending unit for it that’s specifically for that gage.

@stephenbeattie2494 Ай бұрын

Oil pressure gauges and senders come in us and euro resistance.. both work the opposite way to each other .. I’ll bet ur sender is a different resistance as your gauge (one us and one euro resistance) hence why it pegs with ignition on.. and why it appears to drop on higher rpm.. because it’s reading backwards

@MasonKrug 29 күн бұрын

Yes sir that’s exactly what was going on, I’ve got the right sending unit in it now and it works great.
