Get it sorted and I'll be there! 😄
Please help these great guys 😊
PLEASE ❤
That would be amazing 🙄
Awesome Nick!
Would be good to see Nick on the channel
Belly laughed when Rob said ' we're gonna have to try this' and Chris instantly replied ' we're keeping this' FANTASTIC. 🙂
This one had me grinning from ear to ear for the whole 30 minutes. Clean her up, check the engine and electronics, and go have some fun! Summertime's here!
I know nothing about boats but I absolutely love the joy on Chris's face. And Rob can drive it with it being right hand drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No with him being shorter to chris
Boats are nightmare, I’ve got one , my neighbours got one he just spent $100k on new engines Minkota (electric anchor) there never cheap ..
Looks like an old Sealine with Volvo Penta duo drive system, contra rotating props, meant to be good on fuel and does away with torque twist. The 205 engine would be entry level for sea going, but more than adequate for a lake. Basic condition looks extremely good due to its lake use. Dont leave the top up in the weather, store it and use a good quality tarpaulin which allows ventilation and avoids condensation. Your hood will be better for it. Cant wait to see you boys out in her!
Fender storage , is what they are. Got a big smile on my face watching this , can't wait for further updates on the boat .
One is a fender holder for the bow rail. The othe is a swim platform ladder that aattached under the swim platform.
If anyone thought Chris was still a little camera shy....not any more.
One of the best reactions I have ever seen to a surprise. Well done Rob.
However, friends you might be but who is going to be the Captain?
This is without doubt one of the best bargains i have ever witnessed. The age of the boat is irrelevant when it is in this condition. Looking forward to the content over many months on this one.
Only one thing left to get now, but will it be a plane or a helicopter???
Cheers, Bob
Chris is a legend 😂
Love this episode. The lads are like two kids at Christmas with new wellies. They're just running about clutching their tinkles! 😊😊 Here's wishing my favourite RUclipsrs the best of health to enjoy this craft. ❤
Crockett & Tubbs had the Miami Vice boat ⛴️….. now it’s Rob & Chris in the SR UK boat 👍👍👍
I have NEVER seen Chris so animated bless him
Stoke-on-Trent..!! was it the star-prize on Bullseye ? 🎯 🤔
The winning post😂
I'd say those frames are fender racks, probably removed from the engine compartment to allow access to the the moror mounts. That's why there was room for you to actaully get in there.
It’s like Xmas day for both of you 😂 ..... I sincerely hope you keep it and give us some great footage. That’s a lovely little cruiser 👍
I had the 1989 Southampton Boat Show boat. It’s a Sealine 218 Envoy. I should point out that you can have issues with the fuel tank that sits in a tray that fills with condensation. The alloy tank corrodes and fills the rear berth with fuel. The calorifyer can also have issues as little use is worse than a lot. The reason the boat has a new alternator is probably due to the failure at some point of the main water pump bearings seals that seize the alternator when water escapes . The boat appears to have shorepower which means you can run kettles and the immersion heater, and battery charger when connected to the marina power supply. The manifolds are essential to keep in good condition as corrosion can cause water to enter the rear cylinders and seize the engine. All these things happened to me during the ownership of mine in 10 years. Good luck with it boys, but just for your info you can pick them up from around 10 to 12 k for a well maintained example with good service history. The good thing with that boat is the fact it has been on the Lakes which are fresh water. Kept in the sea they corrode quite a lot, and it is over 35 years old. . Bob Voyage. Etc. etc..
Im shocked you only paid £1500, thats a sealine 218, quality british boats, if that runs its worth around £8k with trailer, have a check of the hull make sure there is no osmosis blistering from the fresh water, even if there is its no big deal on a little boat like this, your more than capable of dealing with it, stow log and echo sounder, they were quality units and didnt come cheap, absolute bargain ha ha love it
Salvage Rebuilds and Aquaholics collaboration, that would be fantastic.
There's a collab that I'd never imagined happening until today!
@johnwood4761 It needs to happen now.
Never seen Chris so happy so a result there Rob and got to have a clean up video i bet it will look great , 2 mates like kids in a sweet shop i was grinning all the way through the video.
I live in Stoke, yeh I know someone has too….. but given the motor racing name connection and the photo in the galley I’ve a sneaky suspicion about who the previous owner was. I suspect the photo is of the owner, who used to race single seaters amongst other things a few years back, and if that’s the case then there’s a nice connection to the photo, the boat name and of course your motoring heritage. Nice to have more petrol heads as the new owners. Cracking video and the banter was epic, roll on the next video.
Surely won't be long before Rob drives a battered old Challenger 2 tank into the yard. "Listen Chris, it has had one, the seller reckons it ran over a landmine in the Middle East but, to be honest, I don't think it's too bad. Let's get it on the ramp and have a look." Crack on guys.
I have never seen Chris smile as much over a project as this. The boat is utterly beautiful, cant wait to see you two out in her. Best channel on YT in my opinion
Very nice boat, im very happy for you , that engine is a GM 4.3L , starts life as a Vortec GM 90-degree V-6 block . Volvo Penta marinizes the engine for recreational boating , not sure of HP but i think maybe 200 HP. The suplus metal parts look like ladder extensions for swim deck ? fender holders ?, my brother in law had a very similar mercruiser engine ,love the boat ,love the show.
What an absolute joy this video has been to watch. Your enthusiasm and excitement is lovely to see. I can't wait to see you both sort her and sail in her. 👍
The joy that you two have with this boat is totally infectious! Great video and I can’t wait to see what you do with it! 👍🏼
That look like a bloody peach, so happy for you both. The amount of fun you're going have will be epic. Well done rob pat on the back, but I think Chris is going to nab that .😂
I was going to say best video ever!! But you guys do so many videos which are brilliant!! Best bit - the smiles on your faces. Great friendship, the stuff money can't buy. Priceless. Made me smile to! Brilliant.
The two happiest days of a person's life:
1. The day they buy a boat
2. The day they sell the boat
A cracking bargain, was smiling all the way through this video, Chris like a kid in a sweetshop, looking forward to seeing you guys fixing this boat up, will make great content and just a little change from the cars
If it came from Stoke On Trent was this a wining Bulls Eye star prise from the 80's darts show?🤣
Forget Netflix this is the best channel ever cant wait for the next video.
The reactions are what makes this video! Fantastic purchase, and great shout with Nick from Aquaholic - another fantastic channel. Looking forward to the next update on this beauty.
Lovely purchase guys. Looking forward seeing it on the water. The most important piece of equipment is the cork on the keys....they will at least float when you drop hem in the water. Enjoy.
The energy you two have when you get something you really like is immense 😂 I think this will make a really good series. Off to eBay to look at boats now!!!
Rob and Chris you really are living the dream. Work never feels like work when you enjoy what you are doing and you guys define that. To hear the excitement and pleasure in your voices really is a tonic. Never change guys. The boat is a peach I've done a lot of inland river trips this would be ideal for such use.
Top friends and top blokes. Looking forward to seeing more of this. It's very rare to have a mate like you both have and so nice to see. Well done lads, be safe and have fun
My guess would be the stainless parts are for boat fender storage.
Hi, The stainless parts are fender racks from a different boat. They probably would have bolted to the pulpit rail on the bow. What an awesome find, you lucky, lucky b**********! You never said what make of boat it is, I'm guessing a '90s Sealine S23? Can't wait to see it on the water. Get it running first, then clean and re-antifoul. Don't forget the definition of a boat....A hole in the water where you pour your money!!!🤣
So fun to hear you two exploring this boat.
How much fun will you two have with this unit! Looking forward to the next video on this boat.
My smile😊watching this massive...like watching my grandkids on Xmas morning..
The enthusiasm/love you 2 have for cars,boats and maybe planes 😅😅😅 infectious..
Keep up the great work 👍
Old Chris was already half way up the Norfolk Broads at one point! 😂
Did you do a boat vertical check on it 🤔😁
Really nice to see you both getting excited about the boat project you've got to film an an engine refurbishment and please please film the valeting
Thanks, Chris and Rob. After a crap few days, I smiled through the whole of this. Love it 👍🏼
best u tube vid ever cant wait to see u boys on it well done rob the smile on chris face
firkin brilliant
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Watched you both for a long time and to see you both put work aside for a new well deserved toy is inspiring. We all work and need to, but we also need our family's and live our dreams too. This is the perfect mechanism for that release and you both deserve it! Enjoy👌
Rob what a find well done mate. You and Chris are like two kids in a sweet shop. Chris cannot wait to go on it . Cannot wait to see you get it on the water.
Great to see you both smiling so much, you both deserve some fun. Looking forward to the clean and recommissioning.
I love how excited you both get looking round it. Some would just see a big pile of poo but you both look past what needs doing and see what it can be. Absolute bargain.
My favourite video. Watching 2 kids in a sweet shop.
i think this might be my favourite video you's have done and i think its just because of the sheer look of joy on chris's face and can just see you two cruising on the lake on a nice day with a beer in hand enjoying some down time. literally cannot wait to see this progress.
Gents, been watching the channel for ages, that was quite simply the best one to date. So pleased for you guys, the enthusiasm was contagious 😅
Very cool I’ve never seen Chris look so happy, good find
Hey lads the manifolds which you referred to are called Headers. Every american V configuration has them and they are water cooled. Take them off and check them for corrosion as they fail. When this happens they allow sea water into the cylinders and then your into rebuild territory. If corroded bin them but replacements are around £1000.00 each. Use quality gaskets when replacing. Also check the blowers are running before you start her up, they remove fuel vapours from a confined area before you crank the engine, I've seen these blow!! My qualifications are 27yrs at sea RNLI and I dont want to be towing you lads back in 😂
Best build yet, to see the excitement on both your faces made my day. LEGENDS!!!!
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILD
Really great to see you both SO excited. Look forward to seeing you working on it and the maiden journey.
There fender rails to sit your fenders in wile cruising and so your fenders are with in arms reach 👍
What a bargain! You two are living your best lives there 😀The Chrome rails are for storing fenders
Near choked when you said 1500 Rob !! What an absolute bargain!! The smile on Chris’ face throughout this video was priceless. Got to be my favourite SRUK video to date 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Chris , Rob.. Looks a Cracking good buy... the stainless bars , i beleive are for storing the cushions / seats in a shed, Ashore and save leaving them onboard. to get mouldy when the boat is not being used . When re fitting the Alpha leg check the gimble bearing at the back of the Engine where the drive shaft for the Alpha leg goes through.. ( If they have moved the engine ) to get the Leg off.. Normally there is a dummy shaft you can use to ensure the shaft is running true to engine and gimble bearing .. Keep up the good work .... Andy ..
They are Fender Racks probably locate on the Bow somewhere. Fenders are what you put over the sides to stop you damaging the side of the boat when mored up. Stunned by how much you paid 😂 amazing, and you have to keep it..weekend fishing trips 👍👍👍👍
Made my day, seeing you boys enjoy an appsolute bargain. Dreams do come true!
Talk about excitement smiles from cheek to cheek love it guys you could make a channel for sky. Again don't change a thing
I hope you guys keep this one for yourselves to enjoy. It’s too beautiful to sell and what a bargain. Best of luck with it.
Surely the chrome bits are ladder extensions for the swim deck. Look underneath guys.
💯
Morning boys, hope Im not too late, thats a lovely boat. Couple of things, judginy by the engine cover in the kitchen the original engine was a Volvo Penta Kad32 , this is a turbo diesel and revs to 3000 rpm, your current engine probably revs to double that so you need to research your outrunner to make sure its up to it. Secondly, I noticed one of your rubber donuts in the kitchen area, they go between the engine and the transom there should be one inboard and one outboard they seal the transom/engine connection. Most importantly remember what boat stands for Bring Out Another Thousand 🤣
Oh my gosh, this made my day! Laughed so much, you two are like kids at Christmas :)
What a great purchase, surprises all round 😀look forward to the adventures on the boat, and seeing it back in the water.
Kids at Christmas
You know the bench legs are going to be in that locker
As it has a VHF radio installed you will need ships radio licence or the existing licence transfered into your name, its free to do online, you will also need an operator licence, i think the RYA one is about £65 and the course is quiet quick. Boats are a great toy in the summer, those 4.3s get through some juice 😅
What we like about you guys is your excitement and enthusiasm for what you do which rubs off on to us subscribers 👍. Spot on.
Happy lads. Great feel good video. A deserved present to yourselves for all of the hard work and superb videos you've given us. Chuffed for you.
My late dad always said that you have 2 happy days when you own a boat. The day you buy it and the day you sell it!
Love it already,can't beat a good boat video
Pure gold, like two kids in a sweet shop, and loved the video - an absolute 200% bargain there and you guys deserve it, take your time and this will be a gem
Smiled all the way through, great video! Can’t wait to see the refurb and you guys taking to the water
This thing is amazing! What a project!
Rob, it is not a leg it is a Z-drive. No need to remove or lift the engine for the Z to come out, it might be that the impeller and main baring got changed. The engine looks like a Volvo Penta with twin props Z driver as the cover shows. Do a compression test and make sure the manifolds are ok and not leaking
That is just brilliant isn’t it, the fun that you and your families will have with that. Looking forward to seeing future videos.
That's the best bargain I've seen you guys get, i used to work at a boat builder's in my younger days and I know exactly what they cost and to get the trailer too is incredible, well done to you both and a big thank you to the people who sold it to you for their generosity.
A boat? Stoke on Trent? Why does that remind me of bullseye?!
Somebody gambled the teasmaid for this!
I wonder if there are any mounting points under the tail end for those racks to get swimmers onto the platform easily
I thought that, removed for lifting and towing, if it was an internally mounted rack then it'd be left in place 🤷🏼♂️
Hi Guys, another ripping video,loved evervy minute of it! Talk about 2 boys with their new toy, the excitement in your voices and the looks on your faces is mind boggling. My only concern is has there only been the one video on this boat, if so I look forward to the next installment.
Keep up the great content guys, so genuine and entertaining.
What a buy, an amazing company boat! Loved seeing you both giggling with excitement! It’s what makes the job worthwhile 👍👍👍
The small bracket is a step that goes underneath the bathing platform, and the big bracket is fender storage rack
What a bargain! You should call it "Maid Up" (you said it so many times 😁).
Lovely boat guys can't wait to see you guys out on the open sea the smile on Chris face says it all ❤
I,m not a boat person,but you did so well with that,what a cracking trailer,you always come up smelling of roses
That's a PCM engine as used on most competition ski boats. If you needs parts then midlands nautique have a heap load of experience with them.
Lovely Jubbly, you guys are getting more eccentric as your getting older. Still a great find, but don't let it become an ornament.
Well, you have had a touch with this one,.
I have never seen Chris smile so much... and not looking for change.....lol 👍👍👌
the smile on your faces says it all. You deserve this .Have fun lads.
thankyou gentlemen,this is going to be brilliant content,,👍👍
A few days later...
ROB: "Watcha doin' with all that wood Chris?"
CHRIS: "Buildin' a dry dock boat shed aren't I"
😂😂😂
Loving your joint excitement about this. Looking forward to seeing you both out fishing in it.
I've just watched 2 kids over joyed with a toy, you both will have great fun with. What comes out in your video's is what great friends you are, cherish it your having a exciting life together. 😎👍
That looks lovely, a bit too posh for my town Stoke-on-Trent. I’ve not seen that sat on the Cauldon Canal ……
They are fender racks stand upright with the bolt holes down.
Nice one chaps, great to see 2 happy people looking over a boat, cant wait for the next instalment
Absolutely thrilled for you both - a little bit of fettling and a defoul (which it does need) and you’ll be fighting over who holds the keys !😂
The words, “Chris” and “Cheshire Cat” spring to mind !
Keep ‘em comin’!
JCHK
That's a compressor fridge in there it's quite new too and they are around £500-£600 that was an absolute bargain
