The pvc will is very light to work with but bear in mind. It does not tolerate heat
0:21
I had it on my boat painted in dark gray. It almost melted away loss form and I live in germany
0:26
It is not so hot here in the summer. So there you go I actually we were just talking about this in that video that came out the other day
0:34
It'll be a few weeks ago sent when this video comes out But pvc again, it has a melting point of 185 degrees and you painted a dark gray
0:45
So you've got this pvc dark gray that the pvc board will melt at 185
0:51
It's going to disform it, you know, say 160 or so and you painted that with a dark gray
0:59
And yeah, if that's sitting out in the sun in the middle of the day I bet it's 140 degrees in the middle of summer and with that heat
1:07
Constantly like that with that dark gray. It could get even hotter. So
1:12
That's there you go. It will disform. I don't like using pvc board outside of a compartment inside. It's also
1:21
uh, it's just not as durable as starboard and Yeah, you'd use it only for making shelves or stuff inside the boat where it's going to be protected if you try and use it
1:32
Outside the boat you're asking for trouble just like ivan Had happened to his boat magnum opus if you test the engine in water and it works
1:40
Well, is it necessary to do the compression test? It is a used 2001 150 horsepower mercury engine and what would be
1:49
a reasonable price for this engine Uh, I got no idea So yes 100 if you're buying a used engine do a compression test
1:58
Even if the engine runs well in the water at a 150 2001
2:03
That's a two stroke. I would be doing a compression check just to see what everything looks like again
2:08
You have a 115 and a 135 psi cylinder difference That's telling you a potential problem. So
2:15
Definitely do a compression check if you're buying an engine do a compression check two on the price
2:21
A 150 I couldn't really tell you. It's a 2001. It's a two stroke. Is this an optimax? Is this a xr6
2:29
I'm, pretty sure they were still making xr6s back then. So Uh, which which is it on that front and then also what's the condition of the engine
2:38
I mean does it look all beat up? Does it have 5 000 hours on it? Does it have 100 hours on it? I wouldn't be paying more than a few grand for them, but i'm a cheapskate so
2:46
Uh, it I would a few thousand dollars would be the top that I would pay for it because it's a 23
2:54
Going on 24 year old engine two stroke so You know fresh water salt water a lot of variables there
3:03
If it looks all busted and trashed out then then You know
3:07
That's kind of what you Those factors play into the price point of what you would pay for it
3:13
