I was just rewatching some of your vids yesterday and was thinking "man I wish he would post something soon." The vids never disappoint, keep it up brother!
Thank you for making this video I used it as a reference when building my 18 52 John boat. This is the best video for what I was doing on RUclips. Much appreciated it saved me money and time and headache.
Really enjoy your channel, love those long tails I put a longtail on a surfboard in my last video was pretty quick! Looking forward to see more of your projects!
Love these videos. I am currently working on figuring out how to put a v twin motor on my boat. But my Vtwin is off of a motorcycle. Off of a vn900 custom Kawasaki motorcycle. On the bike it dyno at 51hp. It was a belt drive bike so I am working out the logistics of putting a long tail on that. My son said just build a small paddle wheel and run a belt to it since Im already being stupid lol
I am in the same logistical nightmare right now with a few motor builds. I have so many ideas floating in my head but until I get time to sit down and play with the engines it is all just insanity. We putting a harley motor on something soon though!!!
I'm working on my 1982 Lowe 1436 right now. V2 had wood framing and 3/4 decking, switching to aluminum framing and 1/2 plywood decking. Installing a livewell, a 7 rod locker and going with lithium batteries. Overall I think I'm going to lose about 170lbs. It was fine before but I'm trying to break the 30 mph barrier. It has been a test of abilities and patience. I feel like I'm on the downhill slide now. 70% of the framing is done. Been working on it in the evenings for about 2 weeks. The first week was a LOT of head scratching. I'm running a 20hp tohatsu 4 stroke.
RUclips was trying to make me dislike this video. Every time I tapped the thumbs up, the dislike button would get selected. Must have been what happened in 2020 as well……
I average around 20mph in my 16x51 polar kraft. 22hp predator bone stock on a mudskipper twister 8.5 inch prop. With a heavy load it drops to around 15mph. Great video man keep it up 👍👍
Just playing scooters advocate here... A pop rivet is a lot different from a solid rivet... Still welding isn't always all that great. especially on aluminum. Annealed aluminum has the structural integrity of bubble gum. And hardening aluminum required knowledge of the alloy being used an oven with precise heat control and heating of the entire part to within a small margin of the melting temperature. Water quenching, often straightening and depending on the alloy an aging process that can be 2 additional heating steps. There is a reason Jon boats are solid riveted from the factory. There is a reason planes are riveted. There is a reason some fancy sports cars are glued and not welded. That said a good welder can make the heat affected area small and some alloys can naturally age over a period of 96 hours to t4 condition. You just have to decide if it's important to have a rigid part and if you can get it or keep it that way when heat is involved.
I agree, and I love solid rivets as well, but the average Joe watching this channel probably doesn't have the tools to do solid rivets correctly. But we will probably cover that in another video at some point.
Good video showing the versatility of the different size mudmotors. 79cc= why does it even exist lol 212cc= solo 10ft to 12ft builds 301cc= double the torque of 212cc and mid grade workhorse for 12 to 14ft builds Might be a rocket on a 10ft not yet tested. 420cc= general workhorse for most 12 to 16ft applications. 670cc= torque monster for anything that can support it from 12 to 14ft vhull to 14ft to 16ft flatbottoms. The best overall workhorse we have found so far is Duromax 18hp 440cc with back up pull starter/electric start #xp18hpe especially staged one. That engine gives you the best value for power and 3yr warranty as well. Best overall engine I can tell for the price and warranty at $429. We did similar speeds with the Duromax #xp18hpe as the 670cc on #2silver2bullet . Keep up the good work my man. SEND IT!!!!!
Cant wait for it to warm up in Ohio. Last time I had my swamp runner out, the boat ended up half sunk and the motor was underwater! She is ready for more action.
I’m interested in finding out if you get the shaft machined and welded can you put the propeller off an outboard motor. Have you tried anything like this? I’m building a short tailed surface drive. Can you help me with this subject?
those weight limits are conservative - companies have to be conservative with those #'s just to be safe, the real limit is probably a little higher and the point where it will no longer be buoyant enough to remain afloat is probably much higher. I am not an expert and you're obviously responsible for your own safety. Even if you wanted to mount 2x 250's on there and go ride around, idc. It's your body, your choice
hey I’m trynna bild me a bowfishn boat to. Hey culd u tolk som more bout ur bowfishn boat bild I dont really no if I wont some lights that run off generater or battery but I guess I’ll do som more reaserchin thanks
Nice video. I got a 1436 flatbottom with a stage 1 420cc and get 20 to 21 mph with me my cooler, tackle, lightweight floor, lightbar, deep cycle battery and a 5 gallon gas tank and my girlfriend. Looking by the end of the season to put a briggs 18hp vtwin on my medium kit and be able to get near 30mph. You should do a boat build with a high rpm motor that would be an awesome mini series
I have a 1542 with a predator 22 hp mudskipper twister motor and I can only get 10 mph it seems to grab untill about 25% rpm then it slips and won’t go any fast just sounds like it doing hauling but doesn’t accelerate much at all
Hey love ur vids I’m looking into getting a a mud motor saw u did this vid and and one for a 10ft I got a 14ft by 48in and I saw ur review on the different brand I was thinking get the beaver dam but was wondering what size motor would u recommend
I liked the hater corner part of the video the best! Haha keep up the great work. Also, I saw a video recently where you did a Jon boat pint job with Anthony Jones. It’s great that you both work together sometimes. Your both very talented.
I know this is an old video but you seem to know your stuff and I'm having trouble tuning my beaver dam kit on a tracker 1448 where about did your prop run with the predator 670 was it in front of where the wakes me or right with it? I have tried many different fixes on mine and as soon as I let down work pressure off my prop wants to pop out of the water.
I know nothing about mud motors, but I have been wanting to get a mud motor before next duck season. This is probably gonna be a stupid question, but I was wondering how often do you have to replace them air filter. I was also wondering where you ran your gas tank to in your boat.
I replace the air filter every year, they do not get that dirty since there is not much dust on the lakes and rivers. I run a cheap portable 6 gallon gas tank for now. Eventually I will make a gas tank that fits under the back bench.
New subscriber here. Love the videos. However, it is now my life goal to be in the scooter section of a video, so here it goes. Your mother was a hamster and you father smelt of elderberries.
I was actually suprised you were able to get the 6.5 to push that 1648 so fast. I was expecting something along the lines of 5 to 6 mph. Btw, scooter who said .050 is metric didn't bother to check context or realize that we use freedom units here. Technically .050 can be either a metric or standard depending on CONTEXT and WHERE it's being used. You can have a .050 millimeter but I know of no metal supplier or parts manufacturer that sells primarily to the US that uses that small of a measurement in metric, besides that metric size is close to micron scale so either he is an idiot or hasn't a clue. Remember scooter, millimeter is a long word, but a shortttt distance.
Brother keep it up man , forget the Scooters I think what your doing is good stuff at least your having fun and it works and if it don’t who gives a Branden
I live vicariously through this channel. I am separated from my boat by the Atlantic Ocean at the moment, but should be home in time for duck season back in Virginia and look to this channel for ideas. You certainly provide many examples.
Glad i can provide some vicarious living my man! Wait till I put a harley motor on one of these things and go full send.... thats vicarious times a million!
I ran the same setup on my 1654 grizzly and got 27mph alone and 22mph with 3 guys and gear. Stock engine with the governor removed and gutted exhaust, was turning a 9in at 4200 rpms. My boat ran great with that set up. Sold it to buy an 1854 gatortail
@@SendItJonBoats Haven't picked it up yet, placed a custom order for a built Gator tail 1854 extreme with the 40gtr. But there is a 6-9month wait time or new boats now. Hoping to have it by august
just here to freakout AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............ wait, what was that about, i'm so confused, where's my pillow....... 🤣🤣 ... great stuff as usual bud 👍
You never disappoint with the videos! 3 in depth mud motor reviews and now 3 different hp test runs. I know this is expensive to do and I appreciate it!
Can't wait to see the bow fishing both the bow and your jon boat. I'm shooting a recurve on and off over at Jackson dam on gar, I believe up tge road from y'all.
I was surprised at the speed you got with the 13hp. I had a 1448 with a 13hp sps Longtail and never got over 15 with an empty boat. I then put that motor on a surface drive kit and could never get the prop right. It actually idled faster than it went at full throttle. As always great video.
That boat is crazy heavy for a 13hp, but I think with some mods it could get some more speed, but dang if it hasn't been the most reliable motor I have ever owned.
Thanks for the information! I desperately wanted a bigger motor on my boat but it’s 12 ft length prevents it. The added weight would be counterproductive in my case. I ended up building my 212 motor out to get the extra horsepower. Hopefully I’ll be able get a 16 ft in the near future. I appreciate you taking us along on your boat building adventures.
any recomendations on a surface drive? im just starting the planning stages on a 16ft tracker grizzly. heavy ass welded boat im a little unsure about a long tail on a wide heavy hull.
@@SendItJonBoats thanks for the reply, whats your opinion on longtail vs surface drive on a 1652 grizzly. its not a true flat bottom but ive only got 800 bucks in the boat and trailer together. couldnt pasd up the opportunity.
What kind of issues were you having with the 22hp to have you change the carb? Im currently troubleshooting some issues with mine as well and I’m thinking it has something to do with the carb
Love your videos! Very informative and inspiring! Have you considered a small jet outboard instead of the mud motor? And also depending on the rivers/waters you run have you considered doing a tunnel hull for the jet or just going flat bottom
@@SendItJonBoats yea I put a deck in front for fishing,,the best for trail riding I think is a 1442 light hull with nothing more that a gas tank and myself and a 22 rifle,,mayb same motor
My guess for the engine you chose is 1 of 3, a Harley engine (would have awesome options for screamin eagle parts) , a snowmobile engine (seen that on a surface drive before and it worked amazing) or a 3 cylinder diesel.
So close but yet so not correct. LOL I will eventually be using a harley engine on this boat, but not yet. I got a few surprise motors to try before we go the harley route.
Great video. But I will say that I started thinking about the haters corner. Awesome that you call them scooter. But the thought I had ( for 30 minutes or seconds or so) is what would happen if their name was actually scooter 🤔
Awesome video! Would love to see 420cc hoped and ran against the stock 670cc. I’ve been doing research on these longtails and they seem to run best between 6000 and 7000 rpm. Makes sense now why most outboards WOT in that range. I think it would be a good race since the stage 2 kit and stock 420 cost about the same as a 670 stock and there’s about a 40lbs weight savings
I will be dropping some serious time and work on some 420's this year. Like you I think it is the best bang for the buck hands down and it makes some crazy power for being a single cylinder. I am hoping after I get the builds done I can find a dyno to put them on, that will be a great video.
until someone drops the coin in there 670, remember the old an true saying, there's no replacement or displacement, if the 420+hp parts= the same price (or close enough) to the 670 then you're in a much better place buying the 670 to begin with (that's why i laugh at riceburners 🤣).........

Could you try out those china diesel engines for the long tail mud motor? They make alot of torque and they are easy to turbocharge
China diesel engines????? Never heard of this wizardry.... shoot me a link on bookface or my email if you can please chris@tbnoutdoors.net
@@SendItJonBoats hell yeah I'll send you a few links
What kind of issues were you having with the 22hp to have you change the carb? Im currently troubleshooting some issues with mine as well and I’m thinking it has something to do with the carb
Even i knew that was in inches. Call you Lamont
LMAO... everybody knew, except scooter apparently! LOL
gas turbine from a huey helicopter???
That would be awesome... but no!
Lmao, I wanted to take the 2 piece mudskipper longtail and only use 1 of the shaft pieces to make a short tail
Im just going to cut down one of my extra shafts
@@SendItJonBoats I'm hoping to test out my beavertail longtail this weekend
Love your videos! Very informative and inspiring!
Have you considered a small jet outboard instead of the mud motor? And also depending on the rivers/waters you run have you considered doing a tunnel hull for the jet or just going flat bottom
thank you for the scooter comments. I've been jonesen for them.
LOL Thanks John, appreciate you watching.
Hey Skooter.. your funny… SEND IT!!!
LOL Send it
If it ain't sinkin, then it's not overweight
Where did the exhaust come from on the 22hp,,you may have mentioned it but I missed it
Jeff Clines. he is on Facebook, builds awesome custom exhaust!
@@SendItJonBoats nice
My 212 with sps on a 1436 did 19-21 down hill.
Nice
Bow fishing. I’d like to try that shit
It is fun!
Perfect video all the info I was looking for and love the scooter talk
Awesome, glad I could help. THanks for watching.
And I get about 21 with a 1542 crawfish go devil frame,,super short frame,,22hp predator
That 21 is give or take
Sounds about right. I like those 1542 boats. They are good hulls.
@@SendItJonBoats yea I put a deck in front for fishing,,the best for trail riding I think is a 1442 light hull with nothing more that a gas tank and myself and a 22 rifle,,mayb same motor
@@SendItJonBoats what did you use exactly for throttle lever,,I’m still using the cruise control lever, would like to try brake lever gas pedal,,lol
@@clayton203 The long tail kits come with a throttle lever. They may actually sell them separate.
My guess for the engine you chose is 1 of 3, a Harley engine (would have awesome options for screamin eagle parts) , a snowmobile engine (seen that on a surface drive before and it worked amazing) or a 3 cylinder diesel.
So close but yet so not correct. LOL I will eventually be using a harley engine on this boat, but not yet. I got a few surprise motors to try before we go the harley route.
@@SendItJonBoats my only other guess is a rotary. That would make an interesting long tail engine 🤔
@@waddell7354 rotary would be fun, but no rotary in the plans right now
Send it
Yee Yee. Thanks for watching
You would be a lot of fun to hang out with
I am working my way through all your videos. Keep them coming Rick from CT. Shared them with my son-in-law. 👍
I always recommend going with the most HP your boat can handle. 👍🏻🍺
What exhaust do you have on the 420
Beaver Dam Mud Runners exhaust. I love it.
Weight capacity as long water stays out you are ok.
I got a few leaky rivets to fix, but other than that it floats just fine.
Leaky rivets is fine means it's still floating. Like an oil leak in an airplane means it still got oil good to go
@@omieyouknowme LOL, that is a good way to put it.
Great video. But I will say that I started thinking about the haters corner. Awesome that you call them scooter. But the thought I had ( for 30 minutes or seconds or so) is what would happen if their name was actually scooter 🤔
LOL, hell I dont know what to do if their name is really scooter! LMAO
I thought my boat was heavy.
LOL, yeah she is a little heavy, but she is about to get heavier!
Awesome video! Would love to see 420cc hoped and ran against the stock 670cc. I’ve been doing research on these longtails and they seem to run best between 6000 and 7000 rpm. Makes sense now why most outboards WOT in that range. I think it would be a good race since the stage 2 kit and stock 420 cost about the same as a 670 stock and there’s about a 40lbs weight savings
I will be dropping some serious time and work on some 420's this year. Like you I think it is the best bang for the buck hands down and it makes some crazy power for being a single cylinder. I am hoping after I get the builds done I can find a dyno to put them on, that will be a great video.
until someone drops the coin in there 670, remember the old an true saying, there's no replacement or displacement, if the 420+hp parts= the same price (or close enough) to the 670 then you're in a much better place buying the 670 to begin with (that's why i laugh at riceburners 🤣).........
@@arronjohnston742 very true
@@SendItJonBoats
Do you watch Robot cantina is is doing really cool stuff with a 420 and soon a 620.
Have you made any headway on a homemade beaver tail motor?
Haha nevermind, I just got to the end of the video.
Yup. getting to it
Need some bowfishing videos!
Coming soon! I love bow fishing
Was that Ryan? If so tell him he needs to be in the dad bod pose on the front 🤣
Yup, that was ol' fireant. I will let him know to pose next time.
Hell I’ll text him. Hell I’m the kid at the convenience store. I know that sumbitch but not sure ww
Where damn it.
Awesome video thank you
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Rivets suck.... weld that chit cuh!
Rivets work fine for me. You weld it.
Very informative and entertaining as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
THATS WHERE MY AXE WENT! 🤦♂️
I still got it.
@@SendItJonBoats What about thr cold steel Gladius?😂
Get it bro!
Yee Yee
I got the same year boat
Awesome. they sure don't build em' like they used to!
I need some surface drive info help!!!!
I am not a surface drive guru but I know enough to be dangerous. What ya got?
Would it be a bad idea to run one in a shallow rocky river where most guys use jet outboards
@@andrewhotzman5502 it will be fine, just keep an extra prop on board incase you break one on a rock
Love your vids man
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
