For the water around here 80 gauge does just fine but if you got huge boulders and rocks I would go with 100 gauge......If you step up to a 115/80 or 90/65 outboard I would go with 100 gauge
The impeller is SS and can take a pretty good beating before you need to take a file to them. Most nicks will come from getting stuck on gravel bar and leaving motor running. Running over shallow bar without dragging at high speed normally want pick up enough rocks to do any damage to impeller.
Another great video, keep them coming!
This is cool, and love the boat landing.
Man I love shallow water boating.
Genial saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile
Awesome
I am really searching for a boat like that.
I'm looking to build a boat similar to yours a Blazer SS with a 60/40 Mercury what's the smallest size boat you would put with that motor?
My boat is a 1752 80 gauge with a 60/40 that runs 30 mph.I would go no smaller than a 1652
@@1fastgmctruck would you go back with a 80 gauge or the hundred

Can we see the impeller after few shallow passes?

Interesting, just thinking because my jetski try suck everything in even very slow speed. Meybe this set up is way more different or better parts jne
@@solopomodoro5853 difference is this is a jet drive outboard not an inboard jet the intake is much different
Not much room for error on that water.
Badass how much was this setup
In 2012 I paid around 15k brand new
@1fastgmctruck good old days haha now they are 20k

1fastgmctruck Thanks looking to get a blazer and bring it out here to California, don’t know it I want a .80 or .100!
If you plan on running it on big chunk rock water I would get the 100 gauge but if it's small gravel,sand,mud bottom 80 gauge would be fine.
