Man! you've come along way since I last saw one over your old tuning video's. You where working in your yard.👍 Congratulations! You'll never know how many times you got me out of a hole. Three sons and three buggies to maintain and improve. As they get bigger they want more speed. Your video on putting spindles on to fit bigger wheels was priceless 👍🙏. Thanks.
I bought a mud skipper twister shaft. Using a stock Predator 224cc motor. Would just doing a carb upgrade and governor removal squeeze more power out? I no nothing about motors
Anyone know how this will do against limbs and logs? I hunt a lot of flooded hardwoods and don' t run into mud a lot, but I dodge floating logs and submerged fallen trees constantly.
Looks neat but appears for us catfishers the tiller handle is gonna be in the way when fishing from the rear of the boat. To bad there is not a way to tilt handle upwarda out of the way
Great assembly video! I sell these feather lite kits in Canada for $1650 Canadian dollars. They work great on the short shaft boats 15 or 16 inch transom!
Yeah I just checked also. That's a total rip off and none of it is marine grade. Some dude welding these in his garage. That will rust out in a few seasons. I could buy and old jetski with a working engine for that much and have an 80hp jet fishing boat lol.
@@Thirdplace4lifeI’ve had one for years, they’re aluminum any mine has held up great with a forged engine at 10k rpm they’re lighter than anything you can make or any other company. I guess just not for poor folks they’re really popular in Florida
Are you able to build something like this for the midwest for ice fishing? I see a few videos of people garage built what they call Ice Scratcher Boats. ruclips.net/video/6qe5K_dF5o0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/7rBgKAivQUo/видео.html
If you want to be happy for a few hours find a woman of leisure if you want happynes for a few years get a wife if you want happynes for life learn to fish ....🎣😁
Like every thing else. Way overpriced! About 3x what it should cost. Everything is nuts and the less we buy the higher stuff has to be priced. It’s just a free fall at this point

I kinda wanna get one of these and a nice flat bottom John boat so I can convert it into a nice bass boat/river boat.
I have been on the fence about getting one for duck hunting. Can wait for the next video!
Dude you're the goat!!! Every project I look up you have it covered in one way or another😂
This video worked great for what I was needing. Thank you!
Very nice change of pace.
Can you go over belt tension

Excellent video, this is something anyone can do for an awesome mudskipper jon boat.
Just got this kit,,, bout to put her together! 👍
Very cool, can't wait to see it on the boat!

Wondering the same thing? Trying to decide between this kit and a swamp runner long tail
@@DHoppey10 I built this kit, i absolutely love it.
Edit: I went with the 16 hp Predator though.
I have this kit. It does pretty well with logs. Im designing a power trim for mine.
It's not as effective in super skinny water, as a long tail.
Good for a small 12-14 max foot boat and it can only carry about 1 person through mud and swamp. Not enough power for any more than that
Good to see you doing different things other than gps sponsored content. They don't do discounts anymore.
Can you please do a video on the belt tensioning..? I’ve already broke one of the belts
Have you found any helpful videos on tensioning the belt and checking the tension? I'm having the same issue.
@@shaunechoudhari no I did not
I had to call the company and get a tensioning tool.
I’m looking for a better belt for my 7 horse mud skipper. You got any suggestions. Thanks
do you know how the reliability of these is without billet parts? whats a safe RPM to run them at without opening the motor but no governor? 4500?
Hey red ik this is a old vid but I was hoping you would answer what kinda motor build should I go with if I get this lil mud motor kit
Need to finish or build v twin want to build but wanna know how it performs
Where do you buy the mud motor drive kit l can’t find it anywhere on line
ON THE 459CC IF YOU ADD A K&N FILTER KIT DOES IT REQUIRE DRILLING OUT THE MAIN JET? ALSO IS IT WORST DOING?
Does anyone know if the predator 459cc (15.8HP) motor will work with this same mudskipper kit?
Why does the prop spin at idle ? Doesn't that kit include a centrifugal clutch ?
It won’t once broke in
What kind of grease did you use?
Blaster Grease
Have to you done a video one the upgrades to the 420 yet?
Como eu faço para comprar um kit
Good afternoon, would anyone know the link, or the website to purchase, just for the rabeta
Dang it, I’ve got a big duck hunting boat. But this kit makes me want to build a smaller one just to tinker with
Where can I buy the drive kit no motor for 22hp
Please do a video with a long tail! I’m working on building 1 right now. There’s no belt to burn out
Are you going to Dino that engine before and after to see what it does make before and after for power.
Do you have kit with reverse gearbox?
Looks neat but appears for us catfishers the tiller handle is gonna be in the way when fishing from the rear of the boat. To bad there is not a way to tilt handle upwarda out of the way
When you gonna do a update on it?
How heavy is that whole setup
Can you put this feather lit kit on a predator 670cc performance same build as your performance build
Or can you point me in the right direction to find a surface drive kit that will fit a 670 performance 25-35 hp
Great assembly video! I sell these feather lite kits in Canada for $1650 Canadian dollars. They work great on the short shaft boats 15 or 16 inch transom!
Update?
Wish you would've did the 22hp kit first with a 670!
Mantap rancangannya.
Donde encuentro ese kit y que cuesta amigo
Bom dia gostaria de saber o preço do kit sem o motor 🤗
How much does it cost¿¿¿
I think the 5-7 hp twister kit would handle the 14hp motor a lot better with its braided drive cable
Did you test the engine on a minibike already? 😀
What was the total price
I'm pretty sure starting the engine will be easier with the electric start hooked up
I need to find just the surface drive but mudskipper only looks like they sell it with the engine
They sell a kit where you can install your own motor... I bought the kit last year and added my own motor
Update video please!
I don't think the clutch bolt takes a 3/16in socket, posted mid way into video so I apologize if this is corrected later.
Son of a gun lol it’s supposed to be 9/16 socket lol.
Hey @RedBeardGarage what is the high flow exhaust called
More horespower u add bigger prop u would need is my guess
I would be great if they made one in all Aluminum so that it can be used in brackish and salt water.
Too cool
Cuanto cuesta un kit como este
Link da rabeta
Boats ~N~ Bro's!
God bless RBG
needs a black mamba jr cam and let it ride
They sell plans to weld up your own for $25. Better than $900
So you have a address? Thanks
@@chuckp3131 Modify it to whatever engine your using.
Holy crap the cheapest kit is $850 even if you supply your own motor. Heck no, I could find and buy a dedicated outboard motor for that money.
Yeah I just checked also. That's a total rip off and none of it is marine grade. Some dude welding these in his garage. That will rust out in a few seasons.

Don’t look up gator tails or any other brand mud motors if the cheapest brand is too much for you lmao

Doesn’t show how to put belt on 👎🏼👎🏼

The price is a joke
Better not price the other mud motors then
Then don’t buy it tf lmfao
