From my earliest memories I've always been building things. When other kids were playing with plastic toys I was walking around with coping saws and pliers. A childhood reward to me was being allowed to use the tape recorder or spin the dials on old shortwave radios. Getting zapped, cut, or setting (a few) things on fire was true learning about life. Jump to adulthood, and I'm still building things when time permits. You never know what the next project is going to be around here...from CNC builds to boat modifications, generators to wrist watch reviews, or PVC antenna towers to truck roof racks, it's all possible. Thank you for stopping by, I do truly appreciate my subscriber's time, comments, and input. Keep building!
Electrified 1959 Starcraft Runabout - A Retro Mod Series
I've been tinkering with boats for decades and love the lines of runabouts from the 50s and 60s. When I came across a clean oldie in pretty good shape and with paperwork I had to pick it up. It's been a slow process during the summer but we're back to making progress. (In between CNC stuff and other interesting builds)
The seats are in, the DIY 10,000 watt motor is operational, gages are going in along with other dash controls, and hopefully in the next few weeks we will get some on the water fun with this oldie! This fall should be a blast. Stay tuned!
Thanks for taking a look!

Solar Charging a Modified 1967 Runabout! Easy DIY Project!
Просмотров 3522 месяца назад
I modified an old 1967 Glastron runabout to use an electric outboard. For charging of the battery bank I've always used a regular house powered charger. As used solar panels get more available and the prices come down I wanted to build a system to use the sun to recharge the batteries. For this build I used a discounted Victron solar controller, two solar panels I found on Facebook Marketplace ...

Nice project!
Many thanks! Should be a fun build.
That throttle came out good!
Thanks! Indeed. Looking forward to testing it soon.
Plywood mounts are a joke.
Your video is not loud enough on high to make trying to hear it worthwhile.
I wanna ask, The motor functions are showing same as original battery with external battery?
The tiller readout makes approximations on the battery state of charge and draw usage. It works but is not as exact as the battery that mounts to the motor.
Can you put a link to this vinyl material
How do you cool the motor?
This build was air cooled. It was a beta test project to see how best to build larger motors. Thanks for the question.
We just brought an identical camper home today and I'm onto the frame kick also. Did you end up putting wheels on?
It’s a fun camper. And, yep, here are the wheels on the frame. ruclips.net/video/v0sf_monK5o/видео.htmlsi=V45NZXbfu-xebaxY
@drez20001 Thanks! I just build a 6 foot wide platform tonight on (2) 8" castor wheels and (2) 8" swivel wheels. Hopefully, it will move almost as easily as your setup while being a bit more driveway tolerant. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!
Congratulations for the build. I don't really understand what's holding the x axis down. It is only its own weight? Is that enough?
Yep. Good eye. Just the weight of the router and the frame are holding it down. That surprised me too when I was building it. Works fine as long as you don’t get too aggressive with the depth of cut. Thanks for your comments.
@@drez20001 OK, sounds interesting. Does this work even with a surfacing bit? Thank you for the answer.
I am also in maryland, I would love to check it out if you are semi close to carroll county
4:15 Happiness is a man and his boat! 😁 That's cool!
Such a cool little project
Thanks. A fun build.
Did you ever do more work on your V17? Be curious to see how things turnes out...swing keel, rudder/tiller, lighting/electronics, rigging... Thanks.
Thanks for your questions. That video goes back a ways. We used the boat for many years on our small lake. We sailed it a little, motored it more, and used it primarily to just putter around. Last summer I gave it to a neighbor that is now working on improvements. Great old boats.
While reviewing a battery, your music should be AC/DC.
That would work!
Hi @drez20001 I am just about to start building a Genesis clock. Found the plans in the 'Making Wooden Gear Clocks' published by the editors of Scrollsaw Woodworking. Bought from Amazon it is a lot cheaper than buying from Boyers website. I am thinking of cutting the gears on a laser cutter using thinner ply and and 'layering up' where I need extra thickness. Any thoughts? do you think this would work?
Awesome. Yep, the plans were included in that edition of Scrollsaw Woodworking. It should work. Laser cutters are accurate enough to be very consistent. It's a fun build that is pretty forgiving. I'd give some thought to making sure your registration is tight with stacking the gears; maybe using pins or some other way to keep them lined up. Best of luck.
Nice work. You nailed it when you said it was slow. :-)
Indeed it is! A fun little project that gives a unique look. Thanks for your comments.
where is this software ?
Have you had any problems using this battery set up since you made this video? Does the different amperage of the 51.2v batteries make a difference(25 vs 50 vs 100 amps)? May be a stupid question as I’m new to all this.
I was going to buy a cricut. No way anymore! I cant thank you enough for this idea 🎉
Awesome. Thanks for your comments.
Price went to $450 great vid thanks 😊unreal how cheap these are getting. Another couple years and I want some sodium batteries
Indeed. The prices have come down fast. Keep an eye out for discount days, prime days, or random specials. Thanks for your comments.
Can you do a photo?
Thanks for all of that info! awesome idea about the ebike conversion kits genius! Next video please give us some battery draw, gps speed, speed at different draws, how long will the battery last at that draw etc. Thats crack for us people who watch these kinds of video's :)
Thanks for your questions. It was a fun build. I've actually handed off the motor to a friend of mine but the rough numbers when I was using it was around a 40 amp draw at top speed; on the heavy fiberglass, deep V boat I was testing it on top speed was around 5 to 6 mph. Battery range and run time would be dependent on speed. A small reduction in speed would greatly expand range of course. On a light aluminum boat it would probably do very well.
I just bought the same package and watched your video to help setting up
Awesome! Great tool. Enjoy.
Awesome project!!! You probably figured this out by now but the shunt should loose its accurate percentage reading when you turn the disconnect off to the batteries. It will show 100 percent until it actually reaches 100 percent. I don't think you will have a problem leaving it on especially with the solar always plugged in. The shunts are actually really accurate once they learn the battery and stay on. You could also connect the power wires for the shunt before the disconnect to make sure the shunt stays on all the time and not loose its calibration. I may also change the ah setting to 90 percent of the nominal ah number just to leave a little head room.
Thanks for the reply! Yep, it's behaving exactly as you said. Hasn't been an issue but something to tinker with. This was a project I had been chewing on for a while and finally got around to setting it up. Always appreciate the input and advice. So far it's been working great. The batteries are always topped off and every mile motoring along is courtesy of the sun. It almost feels wasteful when the batteries are full and the sun is out.
Great review of your set up. I was curious though if you can get the waterfall and specrum display working with the Kenwood cat control? Thanks
Thanks. It was a fun project. I haven’t tried to get a waterfall display set up but it has crossed my mind. Perhaps when the fall and winter seasons return I’ll get back to working on it.
Cool beans man , I was thinking about doing a conversation like this. 😊 Pulley stearing , that brings back some memories
Thanks for your comments! Fun project. And, yep, old school steering still works.
That’s awesome! You made your own Cricut! It’s amazing that you know how to do all of this stuff. A dental pick is very helpful when “weeding” or removing the excess vinyl and when it comes to transfer tape, less sticky is better than more sticky.. I know this from experience! Great job!
Thanks! Great suggestion on the dental pick; I usually use a very sharp knife with a long tip.
Works a treat! 👍 Last year I upgraded my car. The tradein offer was a joke, so I decided to sell my old one myself, by displaying it at a popular local site. All I needed was some window signs, and Job Done! Initially I printed the price on paper, taped it to vinyl, and hand-cut through both layers... BORING! 😴 The car didn't sell! 😱 Lower price number set needed. 😡 I bought a drag-knife very similar to yours; pleased with it. 😃 NO CNC! 🥴 Don't panic... my aging Ender 3 3D printer might work as a poor mans CNC? 🤔 I designed and 3D printed a compliant knife holder, based on the flexure design I had seen in Dan Gelbart's fantastic series on rapid prototyping. ruclips.net/video/PaypcVFPs48/видео.htmlsi=lG9-uE4dMD_vb4pN IT WORKED! 😁 The flexure mount was rigid, and precise... very satisfying! 👍 What was not satisfying was the car... I needed to cut a whole lot of numbers... each smaller than before. 👎 🤬 Predictably, the printer was not rigid enough, eventually the knife dug into the cutting mat, resulting in an exploding compliant knife holder... rigid? - Yes... strong? - NO! I assembled the parts to cobble up a makeshift X / Y plotter, Fusion 360 helped with the design. Really looking forward to this little adventure!! 😛 THE BLOODY CAR SOLD!!! One day... 😜 👍 Thanks for the video... always look forward to them. Don't lose that guitar! Of course my plotter would have been better! YEAH RIGHT!
Awesome job! Always keep trying new things and using the tools at hand. Thanks for your comments.
Is there any way to haul items on top of it when closed, any way to strap down items?
I’ve certainly carried stuff on it. I’ve stood on it as well with no problems. Just ran tie down straps or ropes under the bed.
@@drez20001 Thanks so much for the reply, it's hard to get info like that. so you first attached the tie downs and then left the ends out and then closed the tonneau cover on top of the tie-downs with no problem? Since the tailgate has to be closed becasuse you can't open and close with it on, how exacty did you tie down the load?
@@---tx9xx There are lots of places under the bed to run ropes or hook ratchet strap hooks.
Have you ever weighed that thing? I bet that wood made it twice its weight. Hit my local transfer station AKA dump I have taken vehicles there and weighed them. So I can weigh my vehicle. Make note of that. Then hook up the camper and go there and wait all together. Subtract the vehicle weight from that number and then you know what the camper weighs. Just a thought. I would be curious to know. The lift system on my pop-up is currently broken. And I really don't think I want to fix it because the canvas is not in the best shape.
I'll bought some of the materials to add this same function to my own CNC machine but got bogged down with mounting the cricut cutter to my Z axis. Even though I don't have a 3D printer I got some good ideas from how you did it. Thank you.
Awesome. Thanks for your comments and best of luck!
Fantastic man!
Thanks. Fun build!
I remember those pens from the late 70's to early 80'... lol.
Indeed. They have been around for a while.
Is there a battery you recommend for the 1.0 original not the plus? also what is the part number for the extension that I assume will be the same for both 1.0 and 1.0+
Any 48v battery will do the job from lead acid to LifePo4 units. The LifePo4 batteries will certainly last far longer and can be run down virtually flat compared to lead acid that shouldn't be taken below about 50%. I've had fine results from the LifePo4 batteries on Amazon. I've tried several manufacturers and they've all been fine. The cable is pricey but is plug and play. I ordered mine from Tiny Boat Nation: tbnation.net/products/epropulsion-48v-e-series-lithium-battery?variant=39661945946247¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzby1BhCQARIsAJ_0t5Pt3rJOLUVqOAKmqQk9MBB8EP-B5x2i-w_k3WcIYwI0CO-zDj8V3wkaAnYeEALw_wcB

Hey what did you use on the roof
Would this cool down my ford ranger ? Its a 2 seat truck but i dont have ac in my little truck 😂
What is the name of the part you put you drill pit onto to lift the top?
Ha! Look at that. What a cool idea and boy, that's slick! It probably would work with my Dodge Dakota 6' 6" bed as well. Great idea!❤❤❤
Those motors produce a lot of torque at the low to mid range of the rpm, a bigger prop helps to use that 2000 watts for efficiently. Gas outboards have high rpm output with the torque coming in at the higher rpm. BLDC or just DC motors can turn a big prop easily. Big prop, deeper angle. Paddle that water out of the way.
Do you feel the kit is worth the current price ($995 plus shipping)?
It was a fun build and goes together very fast. The parts are extremely precise and are cut from top grade marine plywood. The boat here is still strong and usable and has been stored out in the weather since it was built. Personal choice on if it works for you. Best of luck.
@@drez20001 There appears to be too much of ME for this boat (limit 200 lbs). But it looks like a fun boat for my grandchild.
@@greghaff229 It would be fun to build it with them as well!
Finally some CNC stuff, you introduced me to JSCUT CAM and it works great for code, sadly no Drilling cycle. Thanks Dude.👍📏🔧🔩
Excellent... and you found the guitar! 👍 😜
Could you please share with me the files that come on the CD?
Boss how much would it cost to have you build me a custom console for my 98 expedition plz hit me back
Looks like this would be good for keeping the back of my pickup truck cool for the dogs if I could figure out how to vent the hot air out. Unfortunately my truck cap does not have sliding windows. The ones I have only crank open slightly.
Hi and thanks for taking the trouble to get this information out to the public. Have you committed any of the battery stats to writing - i.e into a headwind, 5 mph, 3-48 volt, 50AH batteries in parallel = total 150 AH provides a Range X hours @ 5mph ?
Thanks for your comments. It's very happy to push the boat at between 6 and 6.5mph at around 4,000 to 4,500 watts. At 4,000 watts it will pull around 80amps. So ~almost~ two hours of run time with the 150ah pack I have. The motor doesn't seem to fade with a breeze or headwind as there isn't much drag. At 5mph it would be in the 2 to 3,000 watt range, about a 60amp draw, and a run time of close to three hours. Best of luck.
What is that material called and where can we get it? Looks great!
Thanks. It's vinyl soffit from any large hardware store. Easy, light, snaps together, and a simple way to cover stained or repaired areas. Best of luck.
The boat kits from Chesapeake Light Craft use these puzzle joints. These are very useful when making something that is bigger than the sheet of wood we have.
Puzzle joints are great for extending sheets as well as decorative uses. It's a cool little skill to have and with this kind of a method you can design all kinds of unique shapes. Fun stuff.
Another enjoyable and informative video, thanks. I enjoyed it soo much I went straight to your sponsors; nice people, great to deal with... I was so impressed I bought all the widgets they had in stock! 😜 One little grizzle though; as I always do, I stuck around at the end for my laid-back fingerpickin' fix... I'm suffering from withdrawal! 😵💫 🥴
Appreciate the support of our sponsors! Very kind. I'll get back to some music shortly. Just mixing it up a bit.
