Thats so sick, you should try 4 low...rookie

do you ever hit the corners of the box when your turning?

cleann slim setup bro🤘🏽 when you reverse or turn on full lock does the toolbox hit your truck or get near it?

With a 12v battery for a winch with the solar panel, in your box, there is no need for a break-away battery too

love IT, WILL COPY.

We're waiting on those k30 videos lol

How fast is it now? And what RPM?

Great find. How will you dispose of the hull?

Koool boat 🚤💦💦💦

Hose the undercarriage down with surface shield......great product for keeping rust away. Cheers.

Looking good, I'll be following this build. I found a StarCraft like yours locally I may pickup to pair with my Texas Maid, also been eyeballing an air boat. Keep it up, love the videos

Just ran across your channel, any updates?

Cover it with 1968 Country Squire fake wood panneling and print up some GarWood stickers.

Nice toolbox setup I liked it , I will do something similar to my trailer , thanks for sharing your ideas

Be careful. You'll hit your truck with the corners on that bow. It will limit you turning radius.

You ever heard of pipe thread sealant or otherwise known to us Hillbillies is pipe dope that'll fix your leaks

What trans are you going with? I have an 89 cummins first gen that I'm using to repower my 91 burb. Using the dana 61 & 71 axles with 307 gears for a good freeway cruiser & 47RE trany. Prob switch to a K27 turbo... maybe compounds. Eventually it will get a common rail. What company makes the fiberglass hear shielding you spoke of & how does it come? I'm keeping my chevy AC box too... lizzard coating the firewall & bottom of the cab along with the AC box. Not sure I would encase to too of your exhaust... better to end the aluminum sheet so heat can escape faster, maybe hood or fender vents... Im going with 80s tramsam side vents.

Interesting setup! Always a few kinks to work out. Back in the early 80's, father in law ran across an 18 foot Slickcraft, with a 4 cylinder Chevy/Mercruiser setup, that didn't get freeze plugs pulled for winter, so got the boat/trailer for a song! Put a 455 Olds, with Barr Marine water jackets on it, and 9inch exhaust out the back. Mercruiser outdrive couldn't handle the 455 though. Got a salvaged Mercruiser Alpha One, from a Cigarette, than burned in a marina fire, but outfruve was in the water. Then it was game on, with the stailess cleaver prop! Was hard to launch, as it was so rear heavy, so had to jam styrofoam coffee cups in the exhaust, to keep water out of the manifolds when launching. Dangerously fun, on a smooth lake (had to wrap your arm around the steering wheel BEFORE opening up the secondarys)!! Never got a true number on top speed, but with a 27 pitch prop, you KNEW you were cookin'!! Just had to take the opportunity to share. Y'all be creful and have fun!

love those old school Blaupunkt 6x9s...😊

This thing neeeeeeds a supercharger!

Ron I have a brand new, never used set of Hardin LS exhaust manifolds and other Hardin items to sell. I'm in Kawkawlin and it would be great to meet and show you the boat I've been building. The Hardin manifolds did not fit in my engine space so I had to go with log style manifolds.

There’s a few aluminum “fish &ski” type boats I have imagined would be great jet boats

Big Motor, little boat No beam width, Don't get Cocky for Speed. Wear a Life Vest On ALL RUNS, Tied to Kill Switch. The unkown Happen Quickly, BE prepared NOW. Good Luck.....

Consider setting jet pump back so clean-out is behind transom. Make a race plate, which makes removing bowl easy. This may also help with the driver seat/helm position. A 4200 would be fun, but it's tall and long and will be $ in long run. Same with other motors. I would rather spend $ on AL ls for weight savings in transom. Power per dollar matters.

Really appreciate your videos thanks!

Those Corvette filter regulator work great when hooked to stock fuel pump its designed for. Dont talk crap if you don't know. I've used em on several vehicles. If you're using a non factory or jacked up pump don't use this regulator. Period.

You're a mad man doing a second haha, one was enough for me to build. Looking forward to your future build videos though 👍

so if you get her up on the step then just back her down to where she stays there what kind of fuel economy do you think you're getting?

Inboard boat motors and car engines are different. Boat motors have more torque and water manifolds. If you tried to put a boat motor in a car you will have problems overheating.

Cool boat but im here for the square body. What a beauty

Thanks for the boat ride I don't know where thats at in Michigan it doesn't look formiler to me i am in central Michigan

How’s the boat?

I just love that starcraft do u want to sell it bro

I'm so glad I stumbled across ur channel. I'm now binge watching all ur content. Lol anywho keep up the great job. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

I like that truck.😊

A little off topic I'm sure but sweet ,Chevy. That thumbnail grabbed me from a mile away. Beauty

thats not a gate valve so make sure its wide open , also consider the gps the motor actually requires . and maybe a thermostat. or heat exchanger. best wishes . mapbe a P C issue

LS Motor and it’s not even fast 😢

I only ever seen two of them I was going to buy a pump with a what I think was a bushwacker but i couldn't find anything on it and it had a weird bracket for the trim ? Seemed easier to buy a new one if I ever get the transom replaced

Just based on this video, you seem to a good balance with hull shape and horsepower. Have fun!

You got a video on that pickup? Wow

New subscriber here. I'm just glad I stumbled across ur channel. I'm really excited for more boat videos to come. Def would love to see alot more boat content. But other than that great work and dedication towards the channel. Ur doing an awesome job. So with that much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤.

Make a race plate out of 1/4 aluminum and do away with transom housing. It's a little time-consuming but well worth in the long run. I was able to seam my race plates horizontally with a tongue and grove rabbit joint right at the water intake tube. I think the C impeller is going to be a negative but worth a try.

I have one of these old starcrafts and wanted to do an inboard on it, this is awesome!

Hello, I just got my project boat running and it is modeled after yours. I started with a Starcraft holiday 22 and rebuilt everything. I did a 4.8 LS with a standalone ECU and custom stainless exhaust. In an effort to get the sound under control I copied wake board boats and made a type of fresh air exhaust. This wouldn't be ideal for shallow water, but certainly makes the sound more manageable. I am running a Berkeley 12JC with a A cut impeller that is probably a bit more aggressive than the little engine can handle for the weight of my boat. I am also dealing with the pourposing issue over 30 mph and am looking for your experience on how to get this issue resolved. I am going to start with a place diverter and see if that takes it out. trim tabs are also on the table. My issue is also enhanced due to the 30inch deep swim platform welded to the back and the 90lbs of kicker motor I carry on it. Overall my boat is close to a copy of yours and thank you for posting videos to illustrate the build. It has been extremely helpful on mine!

Need a shoe and adjustable ride plate for the porpoise. Then adjust the ride plate to tune out the porpoise. You want ear ringing, try over the transom headers. Cool boat.

Thanks for posting these videos, always good info. I was debating trim tabs on mine, I have to keep the place diverter pointed down so it doesn't porpoise, like you said, no biggie but I wanna be able to throw rooster. I'm swapping my spun aluminum block for an iron block so the extra weight may even make it worse. Who knows we'll see.

Im so glad you're back! I love your style of video, packed full of nuggets of info. Keep up the good work.

What volovo pump? The 8.1 or the 5.7 pump?

Looks great, I been thinking about a winch on my trailer to pull up landscaping rocks on a sled.
