This is sick man, I am rebuilding a boat of my own it’s a 14 foot fiber glass, it’s super sterdy, I rebuilt a 1988 eveinrude 15hp, Ahyways hope u have fun🎉
@@hyper.orange That’s epic!! But for now I’m gonna stick to the old school lol I’m only twelve and the motor was given to me I rebuilt in the winter but I’m also on a budget
Awesome man, super stoked for you, there's nothing like spending your hard earned money on stuff that will benefit you. Just make sure you keep up with the maintenance, it will last a lifetime. Also, raise the motor up a bit, you look to be a bit low, you want the anti-ventilation plate flush with the hull to about 1" below (on that style hull). You can accomplish that with a simple jack plate, or even a ripped 2x4 or square tube between the bracket and transom, and PLEASE use some bolts on that thing...don't trust those clamps, and it's also a theft deterrent.
That's awesome. Using your original modification vid on your boat as inspiration, I'm finishing up my casting deck. I found someone who was looking to downsize and traded my 2021 8 hp merc for an elec fuel injected 2021 15 hp with about 10 hrs. What a score. What did you do with your first motor? I'm hoping to finish it up in the next couple of days. I'm running a bow trolling set up like you first motor. That upgrade is a couple years down the road. Looks like your build is holding g up well. Great job.
Did you consider a Tohatsu? They make EFI option down to 9.9hp including a 15hp. The EFI would have been nice.... Especially if you don't have a ethanol free fuel available. Carbs + Ethanol E10 is a PITA over the long term. I bet if you put one of those hydrofoils on your outboard that would help top speed and efficiency too.
Yup I was looking at everything. Heard some great things too but at the end of the day I had to choose something and went with Yamaha. Yeah I've been messing with the trim to see what will be the best and might get some kind of board too
Yamaha is awesome!
Yamaha is the best

Thanks I'm so happy with it! I'm still messing with the trim to find the perfect angle and plan to put bolts in it too.
I’ve been waiting for this video been looking for a 15hp for my 14 foot
The 15hp is great! And it’s only gonna get better!
@@hyper.orange 200 hp next?
Yep, that’s the only reasonable thing to do lol

What a score indeed! I have my original trolling motor and gas motor still. Maybe I will make another boat lol Nice man you are gonna love it!

Dude stop petting that thing like it's a new girlfriend 😂 JK I know you had a blast. Getting a 12 foot boat this weekend ! 😂
I can’t help it 😂 Yea this new motor has been amazing!
Awesome man
Thanks!
one day I will get myself a little outboard, for now the trolling motor is putting in overtime for me
I know your struggle all too well lol you are just going to have to play the waiting game
are you going to be taking it off/on from the boat? or just leave it on (transom saver, straps, etc)? That thing is going to zoooom!
Its staying on for the season then I will take it off and store it inside for winter. Ohh yea it flys! Im so happy :)
Now thar youre over 9.9 ypu need to registar the boat
Yup it’s register now
Figured just making sure. Love the content brother. I want to build a boat just like that one now.
Thanks man, means a lot! And if you can I recommend it. It’s changed my fishing completely
