We Found an ENGINE for Our €1 BOAT | SAILING SEABIRD Ep. 26

That rust don't matter on the motor just go with it

I am keeping everything crossed for you two.
I really love such trusting people like you,,,and me!

The boat is looking lovely.

It's a canted drive so the motor will be level Yanma designed it for that reason don't change it!!

Hello, great video. I think I try to meet you next time I come to port St Louis Du Rhône.

Lots of work, I’ve just subscribed- Interested to see how you go.. Always interested in how people make their dreams come together.. 😊. 👍👍👍👍

Hope she is a good one.

Nice engine , how much was it bru?

Great video great news Aboyne getting the engine enjoy your holiday 😊

Patience and persistence are excellent virtues in a project like this. You've got them in spades! Congratulations on getting the engine. It's going to be super interesting to see how you put these disparate parts together. There'll be bumps in the road but we are with you all the way. Great job.

Did you see the engine hand cranked to make sure it's not froze up. If this Yanmar doesn't have a compression release, then removing the glow plugs should allow hand cranking the engine.

Re the engine mounts, have you thought about getting them sandblasted to clean and strip them back? Once again, it would be cost of sandblasting by someone else v trying to clean them yourself.
Keep cracking on.

Great on the engine- just wanted to say that your music sound like a Max Richter composition which l love… carry on!❤

There’s a lot of anxiety when it comes to buying used engines, I bought a rebuilt engine for my 67 Camaro, I was a nervous wreck until the day I fired that engine. It’s a lot of money on the line, and so many things can go wrong, I hope you are both blessed by the engine gods.😂

Hi Guys. It's Liam from Ireland again lol
Its great too see you two again. You've done so much Work on that Boat. Lovely clean engine you managed to source. I could have got an engine and drove it out to you for €3000 but its too late now. But at least you have one. Listen if there's ever anything i can do for you just let me know and i will give you my Phone number. I ❤ what your doing Stewart and everything is so expensive now. 😊 so keep it up bro.

great job you guys, we love you, keep up the great work

Pozdrawiam

Love your videos guys but can you put the episode number first please? I can't always see them depending on what I am viewing on.

Yanmah-- excellent choice

Hey guys, thank you for this wonderful episode. You are so lucky to have this great engine❤❤❤

.... you got an engine .. well done ..... massive upside, you can do all the beautification/paint outside as opposed to trying to do your best on an engine installed ... bright clean/painted engine room for a pristine engine ..... yes am repeating myself .... well done! .... have you ever seen those people that start out with say a washer and continually trade up and end up with something unimaginable considering what they started with, like say a house ..... all those bags of goodies from the second engine may bring more than you ever imagined ... sorta like that scenario of selling a junker car for say a hundred, but parting it out realizes way more .... love your optimism ... thx for sharing .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...

🧙‍♂️🇬🇧😎🤞🏼🤞🏼😂👍🏼 Stay out of town till things calm down a bit ... 😉

Sump has been sitting in the drink,with stray current they rot out quick,happened on my old man’s prawn trawler in less than 12 months,second hand engine with rattle can refurb.Knowing now I’d have resin painted the sump before going in.

Fantasy and reality collide with low information and hope.

I'm happy to know you found an engine for seabird, that's a good new, continue that way !
Have a good holiday ..

Glad that you have found the engine you want and fingers crossed it will work well. Looks in good nick anyway. Looking forward to your next video guys

Congrats for this very long day and your engine. It’s a great step in your project

All starting to come together. I was a bit worried that the pallet was going to split in half with all the weight, as it was been carried 90deg to hopw it should be. Allways have the top slats across the forks not in parallel. Saw one split once when it was full of crates with bottles in, made a right mess.
Looking forward to seeing the work on the engine and its install.

👍😎

Looks like a lot of spray paint was used on that engine you bought. But great news you have an engine 🙂

I like watching your episodes but please don't play music while you are talking. I want to hear what you are saying🙂

Thanks!

Well done onward and upward slowly

"Look at the size of this van....wow wow a weee waaa"....a line from Borat?......nice....

Hope you’re not being affected by the riots we are hearing about.

That forklift carrying your engine sounded like it's seen better days.

Congratulations on your new engine! (It’s bigger than our Yanmar 3GM 30F, which we just had lifted into the boat.) Nice! Progress Progress Progress! 😎😂😂😂🥰

Be thankful you are not in the States. LOL 4900km one side to the other!! :)

What I like about this is that you guys are taking your time.

Delighted that you found an engine.
you definitely need sometime away from the boat
A bit of time to yourselves, enjoy your holiday.
As always I look forward to the next update.

If you can't sell the 'Spare' engine as is, be sure to strip all the possible spares from it before scrapping. I'm sure you will appreciate having a working spare starter, injectors and such, but I'm also sure you've already thought of that!

Please try not to narrate over background music. When you are old and going deaf like me it's hard to make out your words. Thanks, and as ever an interesting and informative episode.

Please get the whole engine checked over by a Qualified Marine mechanics

As you do the inspection I would clean up all parts of the motor and repaint that way it be clean rust free and you can check all gaskets and fittings good luck

Seeing. The inside of seabird compaired to when you guys first bought her, wow nice job she's going to be a great boat...

I keep reading that as a €1 euro engine 🤣 well dream on 😃😜😉🍻

May you sail the seven seas with your new engine❤

Big News! All the best on this one.

Awesome score on the engine! Excited to see next weeks video. ⛵
