In todays episode we’ve got 500HP worth of outboard engines were going to mount inboard our pontoon yacht! What could go wrong!?

How do you get it to the water?
As a precision welder for over 20 years, for that size of engines overkill on the mounts are always a good idea. The motors are only overkill if your a slow driver. I personally think 1 250 is enough. But I like to just cruise on the lake.
In my opinion you should have left those pieces on and used them for the bottom of the plate for the engine.
i dont know if you saw it on one of the other videos but this professional boat builder guy commented saying "it WOULD NOT work to have the hot tub in the front it would just sink" or something
Good choice on ob choice – cheap and plentiful parts… still lots of new-in-crate floating around… might I suggest jackplates… far easier to adjust on the fly when the time comes… and that time will…. ( 3 cats and 8 jackplates myself )
That transom mount on those engines is cast and machined where I work! If you look inside the webbing on the boat side of it, you'll see LSI (LeSueur Inc) cast into it.
Engines? I just see two big black anchors you bolted onto the back

might be under powered. WMF Marine is running Tritons with twin 500 mercs
banyak omong
Drain holes
What is the weight of engines vs the weight of the "hot tub" full of water?
Need to add rubber 1/4 plate in between the motor and motor mount.
I would think of building a box in the middle part. And. Build a bulk head I have would want my motors sticking out more then my pontoons. Just saying. 😊.
Not enough power for that big and heavy. At the min 3 – 500s
it didn't look like the blades would clear and id put a gyro on it if using on the ocean and id use toroidal blades
It's like the flybridge off a yacht, on a dock, with motors. Admittedly, the flybridge is always the best place to be.
Top tip …. You’ll definitely need bow thrusters 👍👍
😂 this is your "dream" yacht?
can this be called a yacht?
You guys should teste them with the propeller’s on, shouldn’t you 🫣
I would have done 2 350 or 400Rs 🎉
Why is it that you jump to other stuff before finishing your other builds.
Yup thats gonna be difficult as fuck to scrape barnacles off of. I cant wait to see this thing done!
Is this type of yachty better than the one you typically see ?
Chris, you must add a drainage hole. Rule of thumb, water will always find a way in, so give it a way to get out.
Trust me. I'm not an engineer and I have zero experience in buildings boats. I'm just reiterating what I've read in the comment section 🤓
Welp learned seafoam/expandable foam oof. Gets wet sinks boats.
Apologies for spitballing.
I wanna see the trailer your gonna have to build 😊
I think you are making history on this build and will get many orders.
500 hp on this is going to be slow lol. Maybe 25-28
Be sure to have two 55 gallon drums filled with water. Make sure that the prop and about one foot of the engine is pointed down into them. You can burn these engines quick if you dry ran i t…if you haven't thought of a bathroom. On that I'd do it especially just right into the water.
