What effect is the much lighter engins going to have on the way the boat sits in the water? is it going to be front heavy now?

@B is for Build Try a wire wheel on a drill... brushing using a wire brush by hand is hardly affective compared to a cheap wire wheel on a drill. They come in all sizes and can fit in anywhere. I am sure you know.

YESSS So excited for you guys! Can't wait to see her back in the water!

2:40: Chris - I can't explain to you how large this is until you see it in person Me: That's what they all say 😂

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

While u content is good, i seem to let oscar and Kyle do all the work. Or most of it at least.🤔

why not use the raw water pump that bolts to the front of the crankshaft?. more reliable with one less belt to contend with and should have the room since gas eng is shorter than diesel.

The yellow MAP/PRO gas tank heat much hotter than the blue propane ones. IMO that nut would have come off if you'd use the yellow ones.

your fuel consumption is pretty much going to double with the new engines so its going to be a stretch to get the 100 miles with a full tank? still.. gotta love the ls swap =)

im curious how do you change the oil on the LS engines... or on the existing diesels... not like a car where you get under the car.

Use a pressure washer!

Are you replacing or flushing the fresh water system? What about bilge pumps?

Should have spray painted the engine mounts and gel-coated the rest, mix and roll or brush on, simple simple and it would last forever, that spray paint will flake off eventually and look like crap.

Chris, What are you going to do about the marine generator on the boat. As it is diesel fueled?

How you plan to have the Cummins Onan generator running on Diesel and the engines on gasoline, are you going to install a second tank?

I'm from Portland to!

Angle 📐 into the driveway or use thick metal plates so that the water can still flow under neath

What everyone think about safemoon?

Matches for backup if you can't fix the boat lol

Loving b is for boat. Keep pushing along.

Next on B is for Lamborghini

thing is not gonna sit right in the water with how light those ls's are. not gonna have the torque to get it on plane either.

Add matches to Diesel tank - getting rid of diesel problem solved. No boat either but hey ho.

Seeing how big the engine was compared to oscar and kyle....good god lol

I don't know if you'll see this but you should use gel coat and a cheap wood brush for the engine bay. It will last much longer and is much easier to clean

I enjoy the boat series too. The channel is B is for Build, not B is for cars. Also you should have kept the one good diesel beast and done a homemade tank build down the road.

Great teamwork as usual. A joy to watch.

B is for BOAT is BACK

We all know what them matches are really for. We’ve seen them red eyes😉

B is for broke 😂😂😂

How much engine oil are each LS engine be running on?

... You are going to have a time with the drainplugs and oil filters.

Twin LSX swapping a yacht is just peak America.

👍

Those engines will be so nice for that Beautiful ship !!!🧡🖤🧡

Maybe you can use the original fuel pump for taking all the diesel out. Or when it’s not to hard pull the fuel tank en rins it out thats always better

Let’s go! Been waiting for this!

Yup sell that one or use it as a rental/income property and get a car friendly property. Maybe something outside the city.

The 110 plug was probably for a block heater. Can’t wait to hear the first start!

Totally Awesome is the best! Use to clean boat vinyl all the time. Just be care and wipe it off after cleaning.

The 110 volt cord is for warming the engines

That good engine was worth a lot of money, right? I would think that someone was in the same problem as you, one bad engine. I would have held on to the engine and tried to sell it. You could have recouped some of the money spent on the LS's. What if the LS's don't work out? I really do hope that you are successful with this change. Us boat guys are very interested in the performance and economy of operating with these gas engines compared to the 2 monster diesels you removed. This is a very interesting project and a nice change from all the normal car projects that everyone else are doing.

Cant wait so the boat in water again with the new engines!!

If only cleaning and painting went so fast in real life !! Great to be watching this project again.

I'd bet those old diesels weigh a lot more than the new LSXs. Might want to check the bow for some ballast. Don't want the front riding too low...

If your old engines were much heavier than the new ones from TS, won't your boat sit much higher in the water and not be as stable? I don't know the answer I'm actually curious

What are you going to do about the generator? Separate tank and keep it diesel or replace with gas?

most employees have time cards, Oscar has youtube videos!

Great you are back to get the boat done

All the guys that were cleaning did a great job. You should get a submersible pump for the diesel fuel with a hose and a couple 55 gallon drums in the back of a truck and drain the fuel out of the tank into the drums to remove the diesel fuel from your yacht 👍👍💯

GET AWESOME IT WORKS BETTER THAN ENGINE DEGREASER

As others have stated, you will not only need to heavily ventilate the engine space, you will also have to completely change the venting of the fuel tanks. Diesel tanks are designed to be “too lean to burn” whereas gasoline tanks are designed to be “too rich to burn”. No one wants to see this cool project turn into a 250 gallon Molotov cocktail.

Hey I was wondering what motor that was in the boat.

what compressor you use for sandblasting that body? I have the same sandblast but i am not sure that my little 100l compressor will be good for that job

Just picturing those new motors in that boat has me excited :D

His insurance agents face when he says matches are good too if we can't fix the boat.

I’m subscribed to this channel specifically and only for this boat build. It’s mid spring. Time to go hard on this. Lets go.

I dont know where you live but can’t you afford something better than that?

More boat episodes please

A fresh cooling system for a MerCruiser 454 will fit perfect for your new engine ! The heat exchangers is a very crucial part of the system and those are just as old as the old engines you should slap some new heat exchangers! Just a thought wouldn’t trust any heat exchanger that is more than 10 years old Check the system I installed on my! And this one is a half system which the exhaust still gets raw water but I just purchased another one for the other engine and that is a full system so only the elbows get saltwater great investment frfix.info/news/aYTHz4OPxXBnh2U/vid-o

Yay, Been waiting for this!

Have you tried calling a fuel polishing service to see if they would want the Diesel fuel? They do that for Sailboats all of the time, and with the current price of fuel...

no masks when spraying guys really....

Eeerrrmmmm..... You should have drained the fuel tanks before doing ENYTHING in there! Dont ask how I know 😬

Don’t forget to change you generator or at least remove the diesel one

A boat episode finallyyyy woooo 🙏🏽

More B is for Boat please!

Engine isnt a piece of junk, because somebody wants it :-)

You could have used a hose to drain the water from the floor of the boat. As long as the end of the hose is lower than the bottom of the boat it would have dine the job in no time.

Love the yacht series!! Shouldn't have jinxed it about getting it done by the 4th though!! lol

Can’t wait to see the new motors

Have you every heard of a wet, dry vacuum cleaner 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

Where’s all the snap on snobs saying that wrench is harbor freight?

Fun fact. Ajax is actually the cleaning spray that protagonist's father is using all the time in " my fat Greek wedding" 😉

Without Oscar this channel will be dead

Awesome is the best to cut oil and grease been using it for years

those new motors are gonna look rad, would be cool to have a clear floor and lights in the engine bay.

Painted new water line before fitting new engines.... Don't forget the bilge blowers for the new engine room.

Wrong ! HP = [torque x RPM's} devided by 5252

Take a look at Seakeeper stabiliser for the boat. It will make it a much better place to be.
