Nice! Older vid, but I've got a question. How did the 13hp do on the 12' boat in terms of stability? My brother has a 14' boat with a 6.5hp on it, and it's the slow boat to China! I have a 12' boat, and I'd like to hang a Predator 420 on it, I've just been unsure about how it would do with that much weight all the way in the back... Thanks for the video, and Stay Safe!
So with you an your buddy on a 12 ft boat an that’s motor it wasn’t sketchy as in the rear end being super low? I have 12ft flat bottom it’s 32” bottom an I just ordered the kit but I’m debating on getting that 13hp motor because I’m afraid it’s going to be super heavy I weigh about 170 am seeing you an your buddy on that little boat with a heavy motor just gave me confidence hahah great video guy!
@@GoKartsorGoneFishin yea they are a must in s la. I'd like to pick another go devil up and throw a briggs v twinn on it i have to use around here in ky/tn/va, be fun to show up at the lake bar and grill in that.
How’d you deal with the weight in the back? I’ve got a 12ft with a 420 on the back and If it’s just me, I move to the back to flip the motor around after launching it and I take on water
Its heavy..so what your saying is you drive the boat backwards?..I can tell you this..who ever is driving is usually beat by the end of the ride..thx for watching friend
Wow that’s super cool.that 420 is fast in and out the water.try to put a steering wheel in the front of it and make it work with wheels and metal wire.you can also put a gas pedal in the front
@@floridacrackerdw its original flywheel..u know what..I think it's only stage 1..gov delete, valve springs, exhaust, after market carb but not slide..that's bout all she has..original flywheel
Yeah the parts for the predator 420 are EXPENSIVE! I wanted to build a stage 2 420 for a go kart and I looked at the price of the motor and all the junk I needed to go with it and good lord it was about 1200. I wanted it for all that torque cause even at high rpm they have really good torque

I’m looking to do something like this on my jon boat I have a 12x36 boat I’m debating on doing a 13hp are a 6.5hp I really want to do a 13hp but idk if it will be to heavy with 2 people in the boat the max limit is 455lbs
Now that is what I am talking about ...heck of a build and it pushes that boat nice.
Thank you brother for stopping by..more to come!

It held the weight but he did end up getting float pods...stable with 2 people..thx for watching
Did he make the shaft assembly or was it bought. We dont have 100 proof ⛽ around here. NICE!
I was wondering that too and same no 100 proof
No they sell them down here..not too expensive..bout 200 bucks I wanna say..thx for watching brother...
“Gone fishing” in this one!👍🏻👍🏻 Well at least boating! lol That looks like a lot of fun.
It sure was...thank you friend
That motor is a beast
What part of fl you from? I’m about 40 min north of Tampa. Let’s link up one day I have the same setup.
Man you were cooking in that little Jon boat.
It goes good..top speed coming soon..has is still making adjustments to the set up...thx for watching friend

Thx man..I appreciate it...good luck with your build!
It's not to heavy...scoots along great..but now he has a mud skipper on that 420..its even better
Nate that looks relaxing and fun. I've only been to Florida once but that looked awesome.
It was brother
I had the 16hp duromax on a go devil crawfish model, moved my 14 footer real nice. Also had a beavertail predator that REALLY moved out!!!!
Ya they are really fun boats...thx for watching friend

I have a few more videos with these type of motors..I think 3 different boats..thx again!
First time ever i heard someone say get some fuel with a S ON THE END lol get some fuels lol love it
Thank you friend
Hey great vid, did you have to reinforce your transom?
No sir..it's holding up np..thx for watching
Yup that 420cc got that boat moving
Still tuning...top speed coming soon...thx David!
did you have to beef up the transom, Any idea what the kit weighs? I know the motor is around 75 lbs
Transom has a piece of 5/8 plywood to beef it up..and that long ass tail is heavy..I'd say at least 50 60lbs..thx for watching friend
Thanks for the ride
Anytime!
Thx Jimmy!

Awesome i run aviation fuel in everything i have...$4.95 here i have to go to an airport tho your lucky its at the pump 👍
Yep..right up the road..we run airplane engines on air boats so it's easy to find..thank you for watching brother
Thats sool cool i never knew that...theres only one airport around that will sell it to you
So overall you’ve had good reliability in that motor project? You recommend that?
The only problem we keep having is the clutch not releasing at idle. ..still manageable...yes I recommend..good set up...thx for watching
Wait..this is the long tail..ya its good..just hard to turn around
does the boat float alright? Im doing the same motor on a 12ft boat and am worried about weight.
Yes sir..floats fine..thx for watching Friend
10:48 gator got scared! Nice video guys!
Thank you brother...top speed coming soon!
That engime sounds familiar? Nice footage, and scenery!
Its brand new..and we did a few mods...lol
I have a little 10 footer john boat I will have to try that with a 212 .great video👍
A 212 will push them no problem..they can go anywhere...thank you for watching friend

@@GoKartsorGoneFishin thanks for the link 👍
Thx for sharing
BREEZY!
Thank you for watching brother
I think you should build one of those for your boat
Maby one day...
I’m watching this video again and looking at my 212cc kayak.
We had a 212 on that boat before
How much for the motor & the mud motor kit together , please send me the link where you got the kit from
How do you keep the back of the boat from sitting too low in the water? It’s a very heavy motor for such a small boat. Have you ever run it alone?
It does fine..jonboats sit high out of the water..he takes it out alone all the time
Go Karts or Gone Fishin Does he do anything to offset the weight??
It's awesome video Brother #smallengination
Thank you Doug!
#SMALLENGINENATION!
I run 110 octane in all my toys lol just love the way it smells
Ya man

Where did you find that air filter I’m looking for one for my duromax 16 hp ?

Great video nate
Did you ever get a top speed?
I think it was like 25 when we got it dialed in
What ended up being your top speed?
20mph friend..sorry I missed the comment!
Looks like fun brother ✌✌✌
All day!
Thank you brother
i'm so ready to go fishing
Load up!..🐊🎣
Wow that’s super cool.that 420 is fast in and out the water.try to put a steering wheel in the front of it and make it work with wheels and metal wire.you can also put a gas pedal in the front
Hmmm....future plans maby?...thank you brother
What all mods did you have done to the motor?
Stage 2
What flywheel did you go with to be able to keep the electric starter
@@floridacrackerdw its original flywheel..u know what..I think it's only stage 1..gov delete, valve springs, exhaust, after market carb but not slide..that's bout all she has..original flywheel
What mods did you do to the motor and where did you get your parts? Ill be doing a 420 mud motor soon
Go power sports..good luck

Brooo that's soooooo sick I want that so bad on my Jon boat
The set is about 200 for the shaft and engine mount...maybe a little more..Predator 212 100 bucks..and a 212 will push just fine

Once fishing
This is sweet great video
Thx again for all your support
@@GoKartsorGoneFishin no problem thank you
You guys custom bent that handle?
No sir..it was already a z handle..thx for watching!
That's awesome
My 12x36 keeps doing wheelies and the back almost takes on water
You see aligators and pythons outthere?
Lots of gators..no pythons.......yet..lol
God i miss those prices
I’m looking to do something like this on my jon boat I have a 12x36 boat I’m debating on doing a 13hp are a 6.5hp I really want to do a 13hp but idk if it will be to heavy with 2 people in the boat the max limit is 455lbs
13hp will do fine but it is very heavy..if you dont have to go through alot of weeds a 212cc would work fine..that 420 will wear you out it's so heavy
Great Video!!!! #smallenginenation
That boat will skoot.
Top speed coming soon!
What size prop
9.5 inch
At about 10:50 you should have let off lol
Ikr!..thank you frogger!
Speed?
20 22 mph..thx for watching brother
Go Karts or Gone Fishin I’m thinking of buying a 14’ tracker and put a 24hp predator mud motor on it what’s your opinion
@@brysonchestnut200 surface drive is better than these long tails..the long tails are heavy if not properly balanced..
What size jet you running in your stage 1?
Ya
@@GoKartsorGoneFishin what size carb jet?
