When you checked the oil and the level was way high I knew immediately it was full of water. You won’t see the water on the dipstick. Provably from when it sank. Drain that oil and throw some cheap oil and a fresh filter on it unless you are determined to scorch the bearings. But if it sat for 5 years with a crankcase full of water it’s toast anyway.
It’s okay it’s a parts boat that I had never had intentions of selling the engine. It’s had water in the oil for 5 or 6 years it needs a rebuild anyways
People really don’t understand that when a boat is in this condition, EVERYTHING needs to be redone. Even if you don’t think it does, IT DOES

Yeah I bought it knowing the motor was probably junk
We liked it … boat videos….. thanks for entertaining us … good job 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
We used to run an old Supra. Hundreds of hours a summer. Had seven people up behind it, pyramids & barefooting.
absolutely, this is my 4th one. sadly this one will probably end up being parted out. i cant find someone that wants to save it.
looks like a ford v8 engine?motor sounds goood!!!!
it runs very good for having such a bad carb on it.
Seems like a lot of water had been sitting under the cover and the points probably had corrosions, just need a little
sand paper or a file.
Why the çhoke is not set up to work?
When those particular holly's 4:22 gets corroded, it needs the choke.
I should have taken a video or pics inside the carb, it’s sadly not fixable. I did buy a new one though so we can water test this boat soon!
water pump dosent have the belt hook up you need to hook t up or burn up the motor
I agree..what an idiot.
Probably because when he supplied water via the hose he bypassed the raw water pump so hence no belt to it. 🤔🙄
You can run small blocks without water for 5 mins or so no problem I’ve done it many times, at the end of the video I hook water up for a longer run
I honestly could care less about the motor the gauges alone will sell for 4x what I paid for the boat. I bought it to part out this is just for fun.
For gods sake, drain the water 😂😂😂😂
Soon haha
Those Supras rot out bad. They were rotting out the factory
The same year Nautique, Is a cadillac of ski boats.
They are great! I honestly prefer this era ski boat over newer ones.
You should drain the bilge.
I will before it gets much colder, I bought a carb for it so we are gonna try to put it in the water for a second video
Pleasure Craft puts together a nice package.
your tranny looks like it's been changed.
I agree and another guy told me the tranny is a reman.
Why the automatic çhoke not working?
She's got a nice prop looks like an o j
Sadly I believe it’s slightly bent from when it sank.
You should have water at the start. Instead of saying it’s hot put water to it and keep running it without the water!!
I’m not too worried about it, I bought it to part out originally anyways and at the end of the video I put water to it and the motor is just fine.
Man that battery dead as hell that not Gona do nothing
You ain’t kidding haha
I am sorry but supra is a çhevet of a competition tow boats.
It may be but I’ve had them all and these work the best for me but that’s only my opinion
hard to watch u not drain the water bud

You have no idea wtf u are doing😂😂😂
I’m sure your content is amazing I’d love to see it!
I think you should stay away from boats buddi.
I’ve worked on boats all my life, it’s been sunk so I’m my mind the whole things junk anyways. I got it to part out originally
