Yo guys, welcome back to another episode today we're gonna be sitting down with Will. He's the person I met six months ago who led me to my diesel long tail river boat, and let me tell you this thing absolutely rips. Over the past 10 days we've acquired some 15 plus million views across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and I've even had reports of it making the local news. But today I'm gonna be sitting down with Will. Will is the person I met six months ago through Instagram putting out a post looking for anybody in Thailand that speaks English. He happened to be one of those guys and runs a marina. So I knew he was gonna be a great help and that's where he led me to bird. So bird is the whole designer. He built this boat by hand with no molds and it's just pure craftsmanship. I believe that he learned the skill from his father. We then acquired an engine, two driveshafts, and got to rip in and that we did. So I hope you enjoy this episode. It's a little bit different than the other ones, but let's go. Okay guys, we are here with Will. This is my main point of contact if you saw in the last video about when I put out now looking for somebody in Thailand that spoke English and Will Ozn operates a marina in Thailand. You want to talk about that a little bit? Do you guys do it here? Yeah, sure thing. We just we consider ourselves as a premium storage facility and services. So surfaces can range from anything as to do it like you. Get it stuff. Whatever you need. We'll figure it out. Yeah, manly just fully enclosed storage units. So when you're away, your boats are. It's really cool. I didn't know what to expect from the first map. We never even had a phone call or a video call. I was just messaging over Instagram. And then I get here and he's just like each one of you out there and me. He's handy. He knows how to work on stuff. He loves modifying. Engine and he loves boating. He loves everything to do. That's how much has an engine, right? Yeah, anything fast and loud and awesome. Yeah, right? Okay, so he's you know, bot boats and fix them up. And so he's really building his passion here, right? So you guys have billows to rent and everything when you're here. I mean, yeah, we got those rooms to stay this man. If they're full, plenty of near-by-resorts to take from too. Yeah, there is there is. There's a lot going on here. There's lots to eat. There's lots to do. If you love boating and you want to travel somewhere more affordable, but having an amazing experience, this is like the perfect place. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I'm you barely got to see. I know. I'm sure what you saw this morning. I did barely saw anything. We went down to the dam and there's all kinds of absorbs of those. But I mean, I would rather be here than somewhere else like that. So that's a little bit about what you do. But we have a huge problem with this boat. Okay, and we knew this was going to be a problem from the gate go. And that's pretty much getting it home, you know? Yeah, so I mean, actually, I think the haul, getting the haul there is not as difficult. It's actually the heart of it's the Indian. Right. The Indian is going to be tricky, but it's going to be tricky. And you know, we've talked to brokers that help, you know, make this process easier. You know, I came to them with questions like, hey, the boat doesn't have a whole identification number. And so what they said is as long as it's a finished product, you know, as long as all the wood has been sanded and finished, then we're going to be okay to get it back. And then I can get a whole identification number in the States, get it registered, put lights on it, you know, and make it completely legal. And that's the plan. Yeah. Fire extinguished areas, build pumps, build pumps, fire extinguished. Yeah, yeah. The cold switches is another one. And then life deserves for everybody. You know, there's all kinds of rules of regulation, which we're going to get dialed in on the boat once it gets back. Okay, so there's been a big language barrier with the builders about what we're going to do with the engine. And so you've talked to the builders, you know, the engine builder and the whole builder on what we're going to do. I mean, what do you think the best plan is to get it? All right, I'm going to jump in right here and say that the engine is not coming to the States. And that is because it is an Asuzu 4 JJ1 that is out of a DMACC truck. These engines are not certified by the EPA or the environmental protection agency that governs pollution and things like that inside of the United States. And therefore, I have to source one of these engines state side that has already been stamped with an EPA certificate. So there are some that are available and I plan on acquiring them. But for now, the engine is going to stay in Thailand. You drove it. What was your reaction, Mike? I knew it was going to be gnarly, but it's a full-on respect. And you picked up on it. Quick, make it in me. Thank you. It was easy. Boy, it was out of sweating. You felt the vibration. Everything. They're your phone. You're trying to shift and hold yourself. Like I need more hands to drive with both. You do. You do. It's one of those things. It's like, you know, driving a different dirt bike or four-wheel-drive or boat or race car for the first time. I was the first day. I was so built up with jitters. I was telling everyone, I'm super nervous to drive this thing and I was, man, it's a handful. But it's very rewarding. It is. Once you get it chopping the water and running, it's, it cruises nicely. It does. It does. It's especially just cruising. I mean, how much fuel did we burn? And we rode for what, 30 minutes? We didn't even use 30 liters. I don't know what that is. I'll put the gallon of 30 liters right here. And that was that was a lot of rip in and high speed rides. Laying into the throttle quite a bit. Yeah, we actually feel efficient, I'd say. Dude, what you talked about with the respect of these guys who have ridden these things through canals, like we had a huge open lake. These guys are going through canals, a concrete on either side. Laying into the throttle for 10 or more seconds. I mean, I laid into it for two or three seconds on an open lake. On an open lake with a sketched out. So one thing I did learn, which is really neat is, you know, like there's so much power and torque. How much power we put down? Yeah, 500 is what they're claiming in the thousand foot round. 500 horsepower, a thousand foot pounds of torque. And, you know, laying in the throttle real smoothly and coming off of it real smoothly was easy. You know, it was a lot more smooth. But if I like laid into it real heavy and then let the throttle get in and just yeah, yeah, the whole boat towards the whole boat. And then the steering handle will jolt like a foot this way, I'll include a clip right here on what I'm talking about. But it's it's a machine to handle then. Yes, definitely cool. It is. It is. So Gator tells coming home where, you know, right now it's Thanksgiving day back in the States. Yeah, it is. Yeah, that's Thanksgiving day. So we're going to see how long this promises takes and do our best to get it home and have some fun with it. I got a lot of plans and hopefully to have one day you'll come and repair this in the States. Yeah, why not? I've been to Florida yet. Gotta come out for recleague and cars or something like that. Yeah, that'll be safe. We're planning all of them when. Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely. On April 5th, 2024, the freedom 500 and cleatison cars are going to be going on at the freedom factory. It's going to be an epic event and we are already expecting it to sell out. The LeMolds event that went on this week was at about 95% capacity. It was a packed house. They had an absolute insane time with fireworks, burnouts, monster trucks and I'd imagine this three to five hundred shows going to be even bigger. So make sure you guys get tickets now. I believe that they're cheaper if you buy them now than, you know, leading up to our actual event. So hopefully we'll have the boat there by then. If we do, it's obviously going to be on display because as I said earlier in this video, I want to be able to share this thing with everybody, you know, like I want content creators to reach out to me and come out, rip it and teach you how to drive it so that we can all fun and bring more awareness and, you know, to what the Thailand is going on because they want to modify everything, right? Yep, everything. Even like my mate, she's yeah, an exhaust and a scooter. She's got an exhaust on her scooter. I mean, I see I think I see wheels and tires on every single car. Pretty much. They don't like leave anything stuck here. Yeah. Well, hey, man, Thailand's been absolutely epic.
