PART 2 SEA TEST 1980's UK Powerboat Cracked Engine Block FIX Ford Turbo, Dorset, Lehman, Mermaid

I'm not a boating person but the mechanical skill in fixing the engine is awesome.

Great workmanship, That payed off magnificent !!! Giving you a beautiful family launch. Very well earned !! Your mum did a great job on squab,s as well

Please stop it with all the jump cuts. Your waffling is what makes your videos so charming

Your boat is beautiful and the engines sound sweet. That was an excellent piece of engineering you did on the block. Well done sir and I'm not jealous of your boat at all, well maybe a little 😊

"Hush, eating time." You tell her mate. :)

So when are the Mercedes OM 606 turbo Diesels Engines being installed lol. Really nice work now its time to pull your boat out over winter and do your ram air intakes. Foam insulate the rest of your engine bay & fix up all your internals ie all the wood work, panneling, update & modernise your electrical gear as now you've got a brilliant pair of engines running perfectly its well worth you taking the boat back to your workshop & filming a whole series over the winter on a boat renovation. I know I'd be glued cuz if your workmanship is even ½ as good on the rest of the boat it would turn out amazing. . .

Hi Luke, I am impressed I must say. I came across your channel through youtube's feared algorithm which presented me with your first mermaid block repair video. I found it so incredible, your knowledge, thinking out of the box and skill that I could only but subscribe to your channel and watch more. Since then I've devoured your content, loved the Patrol & Landy series 1, your Merc's W series test drives and your workshop. I am currently sailing the seven seas and every time I watch one of your videos you make me feel at home mate. Please keep going with these amazing videos! Best . Nacho

Easy on the stern gland . better they drip a little .Than burn out from being over tightened I put a paint tray under mine to catch the odd drip. Wishing you happy boating !!! From New Zealand boatie

Enjoyable video! Love a good engine repair. Looking forward to seeing the improved air intakes!

Good fix, would be amazing to see it when it was first built. Top spec with the duel steering.

Hello Luke, boats a cracker, ive got an old four pot Dorset/Dover engine in my old shot blast compressor, must be about fifty years old at least, still starts and runs fine first turn of the starter button😊

Inspirational content. Motivating me to update mine. Thank you. Essex.

Man I need this. Got 2 99 E300 turbos I want to marinerize. I currently have 2 obsolete 8.3 fuel pinchers. When they go, no parts available. Want the kit.

I believe that red funnel ferry at 17.50 was built in Port Glasgow, Scotland in the 80's

not a boat person .. but NGL that sounded lovely on full chat

Very curious if you happen to know the fuel economy?

My I love he’s videos ❤

An airbox/air cleaner reduces induction noise.

Twin engines and a bow thruster? Yer gettin spoilt😂 Enjoy😊
