I just got my engine back from the mechanics and I can't believe what it cost. They did a great job cleaning it all up and fixing all of the little issues it had. Now it's time to put the engine back into the FV Southern Girl so that it's all ready for the season. Hopefully I don't run into too many issues getting this thing back in the boat.

It's funny, like you call a shipyard home, or look at the place with all the boats and say "If this isn't a place you wanna be I don't know what is". That's the way I feel pulling into a dragstrip! Then get whifs of race fuel and rubber and think, " why is everyone not here?"! But different strokes for different folks I reckon.

Honestly $3100 seems extremely reasonable of course you did a lot of the labor with removing and reinstalling but I would have expected much larger. Heck a winterization in my area can be well over $600 when your all said in done in my area and that for a single engine. That was a super smart move!

Agreed, compared to the problems all those little hoses and lines and such can cause, seems like the wise decision was made! As he said, saving expensive problems later 😎 And the cost, it really does seem good. I don't work on these engines but I buy a lot of parts and between parts and labor that seems like they did him right.

@garycheavin8768 3 ай бұрын

considering a service on my Diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee costs 1200 dollars, $3100 bucks is cheap, and as to why you don't get SS tools, SS is not as strong as carbon steel which can handle high stress levels without deformation. To protect it against corrosion hit with wd40 and store it in a toolbox, just wipe it before use and spray it again afterwards.

It runs like a dream. Fires up super easy. Turn the key and before it turns over 2 full rotations, it's barked right off. Glad to see it back together man.

From experience I know that is a great price and a very thorough job! Love Crisfields and surrounding waters. They make stainless but the hardness and edge is not the same. Give the tools a light spray of Kroil when you put them in the box. You should have replaced the old hoses you attached to the engine. Now one of them fails and burns out the engine or sinks the boat!

Essex native, living in Ceciltuky these days but I love your videos. Some people may think the constant "negative" commentary during the wrenching is an act, but as someone who has always wrenched on my own junk...its 100% truth. Nothing better than a fine thread bolt in a spot that allows just 1/4 turn at a time with a wrench.

I do recommend putting an extra hose clamp on all of your coolant/water lines they tend to vibrate loose.. and It is a standard here on the west coast! I just bought my boat in Canada and had idk how many leaky hoses, put another clamp for assurance and have had no problems since! I run a Detroit 6v-92 but have buddies with 3208’s! Sweet engines.

I strongly recommend the book “profit first”. With us being seasonal - it’s hard to eat some expenses. It shows perspective on setting amounts aside to take this into account. If you’re not able to set those amounts aside - something within the business is broken. Pricing, labor/efficiency, too much overhead etc. structure is everything within a business. I came for a family with little to no money - and running a business is all money and numbers. Very useful to have peace of mind when shit hits the fan and you have unexpected expenses that is hard to account for

In a way, Luke reminds me of Click and Clack from Car Talk. Self deprecating humor inter spliced with bits wisdom. Watermen love boats and the need to be on the water is primal. Luke, you exemplify this and your videos illustrate it so well. I love your passion. Thankfully, you married someone who understands and appreciates you for it. Fair winds and following seas.
