@@RedBeardsGarage yeah I don't even understand why the heck it matters to so many people I mean are they fishing in it or towing it home at the end of the day lol NOPE it ain't theirs so let the owner do as he pleases with HIS boat period... So what difference does it make if you put treated or untreated on aluminum anyhow 🤷♂️
Good video with lots of laughs! FYI for the next time you need to hole saw through something carpeted, run the drill in reverse and it'll cut the carpet for you. Then go fwd to finish the hole.
I've been watching every videos for like four or five years now and I still don't understand why you don't get more likes. I love everything you put out!
Pro-Tip, run the hole saw in reverse when going threw carpet or vinyl. it cuts a perfect hole without grabbing the carpet. Once through the carpet go back to forward and drill on through. Used to install car stereos and boat radios. Would also run it in reverse through the gel coat before drilling through the fiberglass to not crack the gel coat. Yall are hilarious. Good people!
I just found your RUclips channel and I watched your tubing notcher video. I have one just like it. The way I centered mine was I put 3 thin washers between the black tubing clamp and the gray base. Problem solved. Hope that helps.
Just an idea…Turn the motor sideways and lift the prop out of the water. It will start easier . You just want to make sure it is pointing in the right direction BEFORE you put that prop back in the water. When we were kids(in the 70’s) I watched a friend of mine flip his boat sideways and sank it! (He had started his direct drive outboard with it turned to one side to get a better pull on the motor.) It was FREAKING HILARIOUS…luckily, he was only a few feet from the boat ramp, when he did it!(live and learn, I guess) 👍👍❤️
I typed a rope under a rib on bottom of boat then a loop on the other end.. Lift prop out of water and slip loop over end of handle...problem solved...also good for of I want to stop for something with out having to shut engine down
I have one of these kits, you should have the trim set to where the prop is just under the water and when you pick up speed it should be rooster tailing, if you aren’t you need to trim up
Good build! time together ✊🏼💥💯 next time don’t cut the rear corner gussets, you need them for the strength and integrity of the stern, along with transom rigidity, tying it all in together, next time take a few minutes mark and notch out the wood and reattach the corners to the transom plate as well 🤙🏼
Does the box have a "Fun for ages 12 and Up"stamp?Can't believe Swole Body is a graduate already and working hard enough to buy his own boat,and now this kit.Can't wait to see the mods and see it humming along again.Have fun Braxton !
Its a good idea to leave the threw transom bolt undrilled until you run the boat ( temporally secure it with a cable or chain ). These surface drives can have a lot of tiller torque. shifting the motor side to side a bit will help remedy that. And there is your tip of the day. lol
Hey Greg, Capt. Nick here out of New York. You might have to pull that treated board out. Pressure treated lumber will react with aluminum boats gonna be Swiss cheese. Look into it.
I got the 420 cc version of this and it rips on my 1436 definitely worth the bigger motor and governor delete also I recommend running bolts through the transom to the transom mount on the kit so it actually pulls it tight against the transom
Yea I think the 420cc or #xp18hpe would definetly be a better match for this boat for low end torque to push larger propellers . However I think RGB is going to build a very good powerful and reliable 7.5hp that will get the job done. Very excited to see what he can build out of it.
Shoot y’all like the 420 on a 1436 grab the new 459 on it! 👍 I loved my 420s and hopped them up quite a bit then went with a stock 459 and it’s running me faster than my built 420s were!
This is a cool boat.I put a 49cc engine on my kayak and it was working but I ended up putting a racing engine on it and now it will be faster.I just need help drilling out the clutch to put a rod in it but I don’t have a lathe.You should do a fishing video with the boat.
Red beard brother i don't know what RUclipss promblem is but i have resubbed to your channel 3 times now an i dont do hate comments but all boat transoms i take all the old wood out an put new an use liquid nail an the aluminium plate is a awesome idea
"I cant wait to read the hate comments on this video" What is there to hate? Its something a little different than norm and your helping your Brother in law do something fun. I know Haters gonna Hate. It all helps the algorithm in the end I guess.
Really cool video and build. I would tend to lean away from treated wood for transoms it will corrode the metal. Most boat builders use marine grade plywood and seal it with epoxy as you mentioned in the video. Just posting this information for anyone who is planning their own builds. Just saw you addressed this in the video.
You could get the long tail, and glass it into a canoe or Jon boat for an easy direct drive setup. The surface drives(short tail) work good with torque converters too, with modifications. Ungoverned with torque converter set to grab at about 3000 worked best when we did it on the lake a few years ago
@@rickye-eu8zv it’s easier than you probably think it is honestly. Generally, if you can paint a wall and measure stuff, you can do fiberglass. It’s just a few extra not very difficult steps. Much easier the second time though lol
His 2 best days. The day he bought it and the day he sells it. Seriously fire extinguisher and life preservers for each person in the boat. Also approved throwable float.
Grate video, sweet lil kit I think the shaft for the prop sticks out abit too much it could do with being half the length or is there a reason it's that length. Could u mount the engine more to the right side away from where u sit and put a CVT on it, make a stuby jack shaft for the top belt pully and connect that to the CVT. Thn it will be able to go faster without having to rev the nuts of it all the time and be better on fuel ⛽ 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👊👊👊👊👊😎😎
I built a long tail mud motor and Jon boat almost identical to yours a few years ago. I couldnt afford a swamp runner kit so I built my own using a direct drive system. A couple of tips from my experience, first, use all stainless steel hardware, I had rusty bolts on my setup after just 1 year. Second, start the motor with the prop out of the water or you most definately run the risk of falling out (dont ask me how I know this). And last, I HIGHLY suggest epoxy coating the wood on the transom, I replaced mine with some pressure treated and painted it after it had all dried and and still had to replace the wood after only 4 years of owning the boat (replaced it when I did the full build and built the mud motor at the same time). Oh and like Braxton said, he still has a trolling motor, I had to use mine when the first motor I had on the setup decided to splitits factory fuel lines and my 8 year old and I were stillover 2 miles from the dock. Used the trolling motor to get all the way back to the dock and the battery was still at 3/4 charge.
please stop dipping lost my high school buddy past year man ! your way to important to all of us and especially your family !!!! God bless u brother we love u keep up the awesome work look at how far u have come!!!
If that lil impact and half inch bolt hurts that crank... The crank wasn't long for this world in the first place... 4k rpm does more harmonic damage than that lil impact
That vid was hilarious! I watched while showering at planet fitness... I bet people wondered why they heard Greg's voice and me giggling in the shower for 20min lmao 🤣
For making the u on the sternplate: use a small angled iron/flat that fits between the bends. Than hammer/bent the 90° You make it a bit confusing for some folks. When its an 8 mm socket then its 5mm tread. So an m5 bolt. This happens more with americans talking about metric treads. Want to see the updates on this. Suggestions; look for a free revs coupler on idle( prop not turning) I have my concerns about the propshaft at the back. Maybe an protection bracket during trailering? For how much hp are these units rated?
Need to build some Go carts that are out of the box!😈🙌🏻 What happened to all the custom Offroad builds?! I know we got our KiDz Buggy Build on point! Would love to go out with you once day!🙌🏻🤘🏼😈
I put treated wood on raw aluminum. That boat that was stored outside, in the rain and snow, for 10 years. All raw aluminum corrodes... but, that raw aluminum/treated wood contact area was no worse than the raw aluminum exposed directly to the weather. Treated wood is different, nowadays. Seems like it is not a super critical issue when using todays treated wood. It'll be fine.
Wood is treated with pressure and salt it used to be treated chemically you notice the color difference of old really green treated vs today's lightly blue color .. that's why old Park benches ripped down people were getting sick from the chemicals so watch out lol 😆
so... 212 built... 224 built.. or ghost? on a boat setup.. I already got a gx200 stage 2.. but wanta go with a 224? hemi? non hem? ghost? what you think?.. got a mild diyperformance cam, and alumnum flywheel, springs, etc etc.. like toobe able too swap ot too the 212? 224? ghost? ..need some help..
The chemical in pressure treating will eat the aluminum fast. Within a year you will have holes all throughout the transom. Definitely better off with untreated and then use resin like you were saying.
The prop is supposed to be slightly out of the water when running. It let's the motor turn more rpms and that where the term "Surface Drive" comes from. Your also supposed to measure the transom height for the motor to help the prop sit a little higher. Trim up for what!?
Sorry for another comment, more like a question rather. I hate saw dust and know very little about it... Why aren't you supposed to put aluminum on treated wood? Will it corrode from the treatment?
Kinda Sucks That they dont have a clutch , Would make Starting her a little better also. But At the same time , for the price of $1200 is a GREAT Deal for what it is!
If you turn the motor sideways and lift the prop out of the water, It will start just fine.( you want to make sure the prop is pointing in the right direction BEFORE you put that prop back in the water.) lol
Just wanna say I like the episode and I don't care what kind of wood you use against the aluminum.
😂 Thanks!!

Treated doesn't rot nearly as fast
Treated wood isn't good in aluminum boats because it causes galvanic reaction from what they treat the wood with.
Good video with lots of laughs! FYI for the next time you need to hole saw through something carpeted, run the drill in reverse and it'll cut the carpet for you. Then go fwd to finish the hole.
Thanks so very much for sharing that with us! I’m going to try that next time I drill a hole in carpet.
I've been watching every videos for like four or five years now and I still don't understand why you don't get more likes. I love everything you put out!
So do I!
God bless RBG

Great tip!
now we need to see a built 212 on that mud skipper
You should play around with the motor trim as much as it will allow, a perfect trimmed out motor will gain several MPH
and ride much smoother.
Did you not see the boy trying like hell to get the trim just right on it?
Great video!!! Thanks for showing how it is done. I am definitely going to build one now that i have seen you do this.
Those kits are great you should definetly get one.
Yes been waiting for a RBG mudmotor build forever!!!!!
man that is just right for a little flat bottom boat like that. just toodle around the lake, drop a line, down a beer, good times!
Well I guess now I gotta get a boat. This looks fun as heck!
#boatkart life is so fun get one
I've got one for sale if you happen to be near Buffalo NY area 🤷♂️ she's a ripper too!
@@kevinAuman1 I'm in Northern Wisconsin. Good luck selling it tho!
Heck yeah man! Keep the boat builds coming! You should see how a 459 moves a 1436!!! They flat out move!!!
Yea that would the ideal size but I'm sure RBG will make a pretty good motor out of the 7.5hp. So excited to see it when it done with all the upgrades
I just found your RUclips channel and I watched your tubing notcher video. I have one just like it. The way I centered mine was I put 3 thin washers between the black tubing clamp and the gray base. Problem solved. Hope that helps.
I would like to see you guys do a outboard motor with a lawnmower engine on the top!
The surface drive is essentially just that
I found those once on amazon 173 cc with forward nueteal and reverse
Unforunately i havent found them again
Ice been doing that for over 40 years still use 1 I built 28 years ago
Just an idea…Turn the motor sideways and lift the prop out of the water. It will start easier .

I typed a rope under a rib on bottom of boat then a loop on the other end..
Lift prop out of water and slip loop over end of handle...problem solved...also good for of I want to stop for something with out having to shut engine down
Pretty cool, hopefully it will run for a long time for it.
Cool build.
Awesome video. I can't wait for the next one 😀..
Haha 🤣 cool stuff my little boys were cracking up 👌🌟💕 allsome work from cruzermans inventions 😁👍🎉

So Glad a stopped by your channel....Super Cool...new Subscriber 👍🏻
Keep the air filter if you plan on hunting with it. It helps if you have to let it warm up on the way to the ramp
Awesome video, I'm working on the same project down here in South Louisiana. Except my motor of choice is the FO FITTY NINE!
That is fine for one person to go and fish that is made for swamps and weeds he will have a lot of fun with it
Awesome content! Little boat looks like it will be a blast to play with and do some fishin!!
Definitely!
Looking forward to these series of surface drive upgrade vids
I been waiting on this build surface drive/ long tail. Waiting to see the 23hp(670) to 30hp+.
That peticular boat would need PODs most likely for 670cc but it would handle a #XP18hpe like a champ no problem.
This is a cool boat.I put a 49cc engine on my kayak and it was working but I ended up putting a racing engine on it and now it will be faster.I just need help drilling out the clutch to put a rod in it but I don’t have a lathe.You should do a fishing video with the boat.

In your next boat trial. Could you compare this mud skipper kit with a direct drive long shaft propeller design.

There small gas engines put oil in it and run it thay will last forever. I love the content keep up to the good videos and the Good vibes

It would be col to run the exhaust under water to keep noise down like your typical outboard
Yes that would be an excellent idea. Curious to see how it would effect performance with the back pressure in to water.
That’s exactly what we plan on doing.
@@RedBeardsGarage yes!!!!!! Do you think the backpressure will effect anything? 🤔
Awesome!
Loved the video.
Thank you!
So easy to knock a crank out of perfect alignment when you use impacts on anything crank related
If that lil impact and half inch bolt hurts that crank... The crank wasn't long for this world in the first place... 4k rpm does more harmonic damage than that lil impact
Good video, one question, why would you cut the back corner braces instead of taking a flap disc and grinding down the wood to slide under them.
You two should go on tour!
I have the same kit. Using a Tillotson Electric start.
It's a great kit 👌
Wheels or Water never Hate 👍☮️
Good job guys. Maybe a bicycle brake lever as throttle.
I finally found something worth following again !

That was a good build not trying to make a race boat out of it. Enjoyed it going to Sub to see how see what your about.
Great job!!!Love it!
Is there a way to incorporate a centrifugal clutch so you essentially have a neutral?
Thats awesome you guys finally did it been saying it for years
I got a 7.5 mud skipper motor and if I run it wide open it act like it runs out of gas. What would you do and check first.
If you bend the short bend first then go straight in for the second bend it would clear fine
Another great video.
I would have loved to see this with a ghost on it!
so... 212 built... 224 built.. or ghost? on a boat setup.. I already got a gx200 stage 2.. but wanta go with a 224? hemi? non hem? ghost? what you think?.. got a mild diyperformance cam, and alumnum flywheel, springs, etc etc.. like toobe able too swap ot too the 212? 224? ghost? ..need some help..
Great video
My favorite part it is cross thread the bolt to make it lock in better 🤣
i'd use lund high density composite for the transom..strong tuff and never rotts
This is my favorite video loved watching Wish my dad was like that n did stuff with me
I gotta agree, the better he takes care of his spare belt the longer the actual belt will last. Losing the spare inevitability causes a failure 😉

Be awesome if they was a way u cld set in one spot at ide without it moving been waiting for this video
Now that its been a while, have yall had any problems with belt moving, shredding, ripping, not being able to keep in center?
I wanna see you put that 20hp Ghost motor you built on there and see what kinda difference it makes!
Sorry for another comment, more like a question rather. I hate saw dust and know very little about it... Why aren't you supposed to put aluminum on treated wood? Will it corrode from the treatment?
I'm loving it red beards getting nautical
Been waiting so long to see this. The expert builder on a mudmotor build.
Kinda Sucks That they dont have a clutch , Would make Starting her a little better also.
But At the same time , for the price of $1200 is a GREAT Deal for what it is!
Something to consider having a direct drive has less parts to wear out thus increasing reliability on the water.
If you turn the motor sideways and lift the prop out of the water, It will start just fine.( you want to make sure the prop is pointing in the right direction BEFORE you put that prop back in the water.) lol
I love your videos!!!!
Now that you've done land and sea when you going to do air🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe Braxton is into glamming. Glamour/farming sorta like glamping
