- This episode we fire up the Holden 6 powered jet Jon boat for the first time. Then we put the outboard powered seadon’t boatski in the pool for its first boat float test!
After having so man for so long in my younger days, I really miss the sound of a red Motor. Was thinking if I came across one I'd buy it just to start it up now and then and Reminisce. I had a Jet boat with a 202 in it and sold that one and Bought a brand new Hull and built my own rig with a slightly worked 308. That was a lot of fun. Great to see an old red Motor and a 161 No less being put to use like this. Looking forward to seeing them both run. Great Aussie spirit, She'll be right and have a go not letting lack of knowledge stop you. It's all a learning curve and fun along the way.
That old chevy six has a burnt or stuck valve. Thanks to your excellent microphone, I can hear the compression escaping while cranking.
Pop that head, I'd bet you there's a bad valve seat.
Wow very good ear you have there! I’m out of budget, so it will be a 🤞🏼 mission 🙈😂
@@motorfab I've had a bit of experience when a teenager, thanks to the steep learning curve on my '65 Apache. I wouldn't worry much, as she's still got plenty of power to push around a Tinny!
Best of luck, I'll be watching from here on the other side.
Aussie engineering 🇦🇺 🤙🏻
😂😂😂 at its finest!!
this is execly what i had in mind and was looking for
That jet tinny is cool af 👌🏻
Thank you. It has a certain charm about it 😂

Fill the back with foam, and sit a bit higher, the old six powered tinnie is rad, love the channel and keep it up mate 👌
I can't wait see you guys race
It’s an adventure, but there will definitely be some racing too 😂😂😂😂
that straight 6 banger is way overkill! I love it
That’s the way we do it! 😂
@@motorfab MUSIC
That trusty Holden powered tinny is ready to sail the seven seas! Gibbo's rig will be far more fun though 😅
Fab an ali fuel tank in the nose, and glass a fill point in from the top. Battery up that end too, cheeky outrigger to sure up the sideways action and she's good to go!

Hey mate, thanks for dropping by! Hope you’re enjoying the show.
@@motorfab always do bud 👌🏻
Careful with the cooling system for the holden 6. Flowing cold sea water into a hot engine could cause you some big issues.
You could use the exhaust to pre warm the water before it runs into the engine.
You could have a good point there. I’ve noticed all the v8 speed boats with open headers I’ve seen doing it are always playing with the inlet tap.
Haha. Awesome guys. Gibbo needs to put some ape hanger handle bars on the boatski. That will just set it off. 👌
That red motor looks better than the 202 in my HQ! Haha 😂
Original paint too, shame to pump salt water through it and rev the freckle out of it for 4 hours😂 It’s only a 161 so it’s ok 👍🏼
Outboards work great on a jetski, however the perfect combination between motor and ski is essential, a 3 seater jetski works best with a 70hp CES extra short shaft 2-stroke Yamaha (15" shaft). Alternatively a 50hp 2-stroke Yamaha short shaft (15" shaft) with electric start and trim & tilt fitted. The jetski itself don't need to be modified much as the controls and fuel tank can be re-purposed for the build. Only the area where the jet pump was fitted needs to be built closed with fibreglass and well sealed. It is important to keep the sponsons on the side of the jetski for stabilisation. The fuel tank is already in the front to keep the nose down and the battery will also need to be installed in the front for added weight in the front. The motor needs to be mounted as close to the back as possible, the mounting bracket can be mounted directly to the seat base with an extension to the floor at the back for extra support. The trickiest part is building a bracket that incorporates the jetski push pull cable to make the motor turn left to right. All other controls can be incorporated to work with the motor without much effort. Important to install an automatic bilge pump. The bottom of the cavitation plate of the motor must be flush with the lowest part of the back of the hull. It will always sit a bit low in the back (even as a normal jetski) but it is made to ride on and not float with.
You know far more than we do lol. It was reliable none the less
Awesome 👍
@sixtyfiveford really appreciate you dropping by. Your channel is massive! We’d really love it if you could give us a shout out somehow?
Thanks so much for watching.
Super
good on you. gibbo will need some pontoons on the side to keep it up right have fun
You need a short shaft motor for the ski
And a plastic Jesus glued to the dash.
🤣🤣🤣They don't call it flow coat for nothing.. Great work boys👍
😂😂😂 So good! 😂😂😂
mUSIC
Love it
Next level winning IMO.
How would it go with the motor mounted closer to transom to get it closer to centre of boat?
Time will tell….
Yes that was a trimaran that pitch poled Rose Noelle.
love this fellas. you could add some additional bouancy floats to the aft of the jetski around the engine mount or some surfboard/foam cut up and fixed along the sides if its still tail heavy, cos under throttle it might try to nose up depending on the thrust angle. cos its opening/ seating hole seems close to the water line. but she'll be right.😃 maybe the thrust at speed will lift it up just right for crusing
I liked your story about the guys who survived at sea. always great to include some random story like that. Im keen for the next update 👍
ps for both rigs.. bilge pumps.. lots and lots of bilge pumps 🤪
Legend thanks mate. Gibbo has added some flotation, you’ll see next episode!
For the ski definitely move the seat as far forward as possible and put the tank under the front.
Glute the motor forward 4 in. Put batt. and fuel up front that would help a bit
Lol if you boys are ever bored, my commodore needs some patch repairs. Haha
i would put the gas tank in the front as a weight on the ski
You need some floatation in that boat with the outboard. If it were mine I would put the seat back to normal and ride it as it was intended.
Batter and fuel tank up the front of gibbos! What’s the worst thing that will happen catch on fire?
XP’s usually sit low in the water and aren’t very stable
Hey boys brand-new subscriber love the channel, great content etc. Can ya's please do a small car motor bike engine conversion at some point in the future as I want to do 1 an need a good Aussie instructional lol
While I have no doubt these boys will do one eventually... if you're impatient, @Nugget Garage is doing a 'Busa engine in a KE10 Corolla ;)
@@TorqHub awesome thanks buddy 👍👍
@@shangoddard1289 and to kick it up a gear, he's throwing a turbo and a haltech on it haha
lol you used one of the most tippy machines
How do you change the oil on this awesome vintage boat
Might wanna move the motor closer to the hull or add some TRIM TABS on the back 👍👍👍
That will be the big question I hope the first water test answers. And yeah then if needed I was thinking trim tabs.
Add a kayak skirt and pump. Then done
I had to google what that is. But that’s a very good idea 👍🏼
Might try moving the engine a little bit closer to the back of the boat it’s acting like a lever
Funny as fuk good video haha
Thanks legend 👍🏼
Fear broats! 😄
Terror 😂😂😂😂
@@motorfab
You got those junkyard monaro pulling the left front t shirts made yet? 😁
I reckon I woulda put the Holden engine in the seadoo and the outboard on the Jon boat
That would be too easy mate 😂😂😂
put the engine a bit closer to the boat on that ski boat and then put a fuel tank up front and she wil be perfect.
We found a slightly wilder solution in the next episode
Need to fill that thing with form an lead along the bottom. Way to top heavy. Open water will sink it.
I think both of them are bloody marvey......
It’s a funny, I always thought Australians spoke English
It is English
Is that a marine straight 6 or ??
No way, straight out of a car, we didn’t even change the oil
fill the whole inside with foam and carve out your seat. lol 😆
Will be a bit of a mess if he shits himself 😂😂😂
This episode got me in trouble with the broom pilot, for laughing too much and too loud!!!!!
😂😂😂 was it the bad jokes?
motors need petrol, the easiest motor in the world to start. you were doing my head in
We aim to please 😉
It’s going to need a big ass float on the back maybe?
Definitely 😉
I’ve got one for you boys….
Why are pirates,pirates????
Because they RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻
Gibbo's Joke shoulda gone:
What is a Pirate's favourite letter?
"You'd think it's the ARGHHH, but it's really the SEAAA"
Where did you think the waterline was? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well… Not that high😂😂😂😂😂
@@motorfab pissa! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Engine to big
Never 😂
