Thailand has an engine culture all it's own. Long-tails are something amazing.

Oh wow but it's nice to hear a well tuned diesel engine running so extra smoothly.

That engine moves the boat like it was nothing. Very professional! Excellent skills by everyone.

Master Captain and crew. Flawless operation. Constant checks and maintenance keep that very nice boat running smooth. Great Job

Apart from loading the cargo on the roof😂

Guy driving that boat is a beast

tiny boat that is NOT, those guys have a real nice boat and the piloting skills on display are awesome.

Very impressive. Capt and crew shined. And that motor was just bad ass'd. Cruise the river like the boss with that.

Title is clickbait, the engine is indeed massive but it's perfectly adequate for the boat. The way it's maintained and operated by a master crew, makes me want to ride it ! I see no danger here. Thailand is on another level :)

yea new motor on a 100 yr old boat

Some of the absolute smartest and most respectful ppl in the world when it comes to their belongings and they can build just about anything from an old scrap pile that most others would just walk right by.. Very smooth running engine and well maintained by the sounds of it.

Beautifully maintained engine!

That boat doesn't look so "tiny." The engine and propeller drive apparatus looks to be very well balanced.

I was strangely impressed by that outfit. By example, that sort of boat is usually caned up and down river at insane speed, with little or no thought given to safety, but that vessel was clearly part of a fleet and that example was definitely taking its responsibilities seriously. Everything was neat, tidy and freshly painted. The engine was literally a jewel. A huge jewel, it is true, but everything about it said "care." The crew all had uniforms and handled the boat with precision and teamwork as was the loading and unloading. Certainly, the engine was not being stressed and it took me a while to work out where the throttle was! It was the steel cable from the fuel control unit to the 'turk's head' around the port side steering arm. The skipper pulled on the cablet until he got the revs he wanted, then twisted the turks head until the cable was tight - simple, elegant and almost fool proof. I think the big green lever on the starboard side of the engine was the reverser. And did you notice things were beautifully balanced so almost no steering input was required? He did put a pin in the support bar, but it wasn't even touching the steering arm most of the time. Well done guys, I would love to travel on your ferry and would feel safe and in professional hands.

@gowdsake7103 first off that's tiller steer with mud motor style shaft. It's a very common practice with small engines even here in the united states, as far as engine exposure, they have race boats with the engine open and setting right behind the operator, I live at lake of the ozarks, we have no size limit or speed limit so I see all different types of boats, outboards are literally exposed engine, that little plastic cowl that covers it isn't gonna stop jack if that thing decides to desenograte into hot metal soup, these guys did an awesome job with the resources they have, more then u ever dreamed of building urself

Clearly a well maintained and tuned engine. And plenty of adequate knowledge and skill put in there. I would get on that fine ship, no problem!

I like to see a man that takes pride in the way his equipment looks and runs. Nice job chum.

That is the biggest longtail setup I've ever seen, but it looks very well balanced. The crew obviously takes pride in their boat. Everything was clean, and that motor was detailed to the max. Really a beautiful piece of equipment. BTW, I love the air bleed on the heat exchanger. 😂 I'd think it could be made much easier to operate with a simple cable and pulley steering system though. It would be easy to design and install, and along with a remote throttle and shift cable would make operation much easier and safer.

It's amazing how things get done in a small country, without huge cranes, forklifts, and steel containers. A throwback to the 18th-19th century.

Engines are bigger but boats are also not tiny. Boat and it's engine is well balanced. ❤

I was waiting to see how they got the fridge off the boat. 😊 Such a well maintained and lovely engine. 👍🏼

it is normal, nothing is dangerous, the boat is bigger, not tiny...

love the engine sounds

Looks good and stable. I’d be worried about that tiny dingy bringing in the crew!

Good access to the engine

This job is a real workout look how they all in a great shape love when people care about what they do

I read about the Long-Tails in Phuket many years ago, but this is the first time I’ve seen one in operation, very impressed by the engineering of the installation and the seamanship of the crew. Great video, thanks!

I take it the wine bottle is his pyrometer,,, so cool!

Is just clear they know how to operate the boat because that’s what they do and care about in life anything can go wrong at any time the cuestión is how you are going to act at the moment beautiful v8 hino engine man I got two diesel trucks with Detroit and international I love the sound

I am impressed with the handling when coming alongside. There seems to be so many ways it could go badly wrong.

The pride they take for their boats and machines rivals at 70 year old American and his old c5 corvette… love Thailand

Great ingenuity that is thinking out of the box. I bet it is a lot faster than anything else around

As thai people is normally when you at the beach and see long-tailed boat and them use truk and car engine to drive boat😂😂.

Very very impressive operation they have going there. Everyone really looks like they know what they’re doing

Great ingenuity!

Quite the set up!

I lived in Thailand for a year in the mid 70s. We would take the train from Nakhon Ratchisima to Ayutthaya to visit my Thai friend and his family. We rode the smaller long tail water taxis on the Chao Phraya river quite often. There's a lot of skill to maneuvering those boats and my hat's off to the pilot of this craft.

I see the massive v8 diesel truck engine, but I don't see the "tiny boat". That boat is at least 50 feet long. Hardly tiny. And where is the "dangerous" part of the engine. There's nothing uncommon about the way this engine is installed and the captain is an obviously knowledgeable and well experienced engineer. Headline is starting to look like clickbait. You make it sound like everyone is holding on for dear life while they rip up and down the river at breakneck speeds. Obviously, the engine is well matched to the boat as evidenced by the routine travel and docking.

That is a working man's boat. Water highway. That boat will haul A that motor has a turbo you can hear it whistle he either idles or just above idle in the runs I saw. The boat may not stand up to all the power that motor can put out. I enjoyed watching the men applying their craft 👍

I think the tiny boat mentioned in the title was the blue one they boarded from

I like that the engine is also still completely analog no computers no DEF system. Mechanical injection. Oh crap even Non turbo, that’s rare on a diesel nowadays. This engine will probably outlast the boat.

Nice sea travel..

Great skills on display. The only real danger I see, however, is the risk of the engine operator falling off the back of the boat and encountering the prop. That's always a risk with that style of boat.
