I bought this neat little 70’s PRIDE Playmate boat so we can use in the Murray River, but I really wanted to try it at home first…. So I do 😂

The "Fibreglass empire "😁
Stay safe out there, inland waters can be dangerous, please carry the appropriate safety gear..... 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Had a pride , and have the same engine as yours. Great strong stable boats And great reliable engines !You have a good combo there . Buy a new fuel pump , carby kits , coil and you’ll be set for life
See what happens when Andy's not there to supervise....hahahaha, good to see you having a blast anyway!! Best wishes for the New Year, take care and looking forward to many more eps in the future!!
My dad used to have one of these boats with a 50hp Mercury motor. Had so many good memories in it on the Murray in Waikerie.
No need/point pumping the fast idle lever when trying to start the engine, it doesn't have an accelerator pump like a car, so there's no 'squirters'. Just squeeze up the the primer bulb like you did, lift the fast idle lever up to maybe half way, then push key in for choke and crank engine until it pops once. Then release the choke and crank with no choke, it should fire straight up, then be ready to lower the fast idle lever as soon as it fires up to avoid an over rev. No need to use the choke again for warm starts or you'll very likely flood it, just crank with no choke once it's been running and she should fire straight up, as long as all the carbs are clean and adjusted correctly and there's no other mechanical issues with the engine etc.😁

@@TheIronEmpire No probs Mark...Love your channel mate. Give me a shout if you need any tips, I used to work at a boat shop👌 Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and Andrea from W.A🇦🇺 I love the UC, I have a '78 UC Hatch, and an '80 TE Gemini wagon..my 1st and second cars. Had the Gem for just on 30yrs, and the UC for 28-29yrs...both still reg'd, one day I might be able to afford to restore them both😁🤷♂️👍
Hilarious,loved it. Just think how good you’re going to be turning right by practicing in the dam 😂😂
I would have done exactly the same thing, and giggled like a school girl the entire time too! 😂
Man I can't wait to see the episode of you and your little lady spending a day on the water @ your dam 😂🤣😂🤣. Piss funny
You could call it 'Dam Proud'. Thanks for the entertainment this year. Hope 2024 is rewarding for you guys. Merry Xmas
Thats friggin rad dude, love it 😅
That was great funny content, looking forward to see this boat get to how you want it. Merry Christmas guys.
Haha ya tripper ! Seriously tho not a all silly idea , one day your going to want to work on the trailer , replace rollers , bearings ect , and having the damn to dump the the boat in while you work or switch out trailers will save you hours of time instead of having to make stands ect for the hull
I think you're going to need a bigger dam

Love your work Merry Christmas
Hell yeah brother Just the intro is something I'd do
Put a big block in it and do circle work in the dam
Merry Xmas 🎉 always having fun
Well, it wouldn't be a new project if you didn't take it for some circle work out the back paddock haha. Have a rad Xmas and New Years dude!
Great vid mate boats are always fun Hope u and ur family have agreat chrissy and stay safe
The revved up Hawaii Five-O theme song just added classic to this vid. Good lil score there Mark, good idea having a practice run in the dam, would have been funny shit seeing you do that first time in the mighty Murray.
Love your work mate!😅
Hey mark, great video mate cheers for sharing your content ledgend 👍🤙💯 cheers from wa 🍻
Wow the man that needed another project lol
damm ha, thats alriiight ay 😂
Next week on the Iron Empire, we build a bigger dam😂
Nice 👍
I probably would have taken the motor flag off first.... but we all understand, excitement takes over
Haha pissa . Looks like ya having a ball man 👌
One of your best videos ... nothing like a day on the water to help hit the refresh button
Merry Christmas everyone 🎉🤙🍻
Laughing like a hyena, now that's how you tell a bloke is having a good time!
Love the hatebreed shirt 🤘🏻
Hey mark, love the vid - I watch all ya vids. Just so you know there’s plenty of superstition around boat name changing . You know - bananas and all that shit!!! Google up the protocols, I’d love to see u do the whole witchcraft thing so that this boat only brings u good luck and fun. Cheers . Love your work!!!!
I had a Carribian Couger, which is very similar to
A couple of Evinrude 110 hp?😁
Love the video, but at times think Andy shouldn't leave you alone😂
Boat bring on another thousand
Pride made good speed boats run some wire or blow out the water tell tail they can corrode up enjoy
Boat boy ahoy 😂
Flake paint project boat
Got 50 cars and the only one running is a boat 😂
It’s supposed to be bad luck renaming boats isn’t it? Is there a house build starting in the background we got a glimpse of?
