I grew up in the Florida Keys, one time I put twin 50 horse 2-stroke Mercury he's on the back of a 14ft mirrocraft flat bottom Jon Boat! Needless to say I blew the thing over twice! I figured my top speed was around 75 miles an hour even with the nose trimmed and me sitting in the Val I could not keep the nose on them water that flat bottom Hall just picked up too much are! Love the vid thank you
Arr the serenity! Lol great video made me laugh. You realise you will never be happy with a slow single egg beater tinny ever again. 66 kph doesn't sound that far but when it's on the water that's a great speed out of that package you put together. The next test would be can you tow a skier with it? Great video cheers for posting it.
Sweet. I have a 3.5 m Hawker DeHavilland made by an aircraft company that diversified into boats. Forward controls and a 9.5 hp Johnson delivered standard. I modified the transom to handle a 35 HP long shaft Evinrude which tops out at 50 kph. Short shaft Evinrudes are rare. I also run various other 25 hp Evinrudes on the boat as well as a rare Sportster motor Evinrude made in 1972. Your boat is a classic hang onto it👍
Great video. Love it when these boats get modified. You will free up some speed if you raise the engine height. The "Angel Wings" the engines are throwing out to the side are an indication of being too deep....then play with adding cup to the 13" props. BTW.....also saw a Merc 200hp on a 14' Tinnie tonight as well....look it up on here. Not kidding!
the motors are 15" on a 20" transom you cant go any higher without 2 custom stainless props and the angel wings are from water off the lower bracket not the lower unit...only way that rig goes faster is with bigger props period 15 p stainless high rake perf props.
Love the setup... Need to get the props a little deeper I think. I could hear some cavitation on the turns as the outside engine was sucking too much surface air... Would be worse if the water wasn't so flat.
Hi! did the same with 2*30 hp merc\tohatsu outboards back in 2015, tested it both at river and at the Black Sea (over 2000 miles on the salt water), won a race with it, goes faster than single 60 actually) the setup is ok, as long as you find the correct props!
@@netikracing it's an old riveted 16' aircraft aluminum soviet hull from the late 1960's made from surplus airplane materials, called "Progress" here, so I doubt it will help where you're from. They are pretty common here, so I bought a hull to restore in the 60's style, when they had 2 outboards as a factory option. Here's what I I got.

does it affect your transom on your boat with the weight of 2 out boards in a engineering sense? what size motor was the hull rated for originally?...but is a great set up and fast little boat
Hello. get a counter-rotating propeller, and swap forward and reverse on this motor! You will be amazed how much better the boat is and how much faster it gets!
People think that you go out fishing around the bend a few miles away. Usualy you runn about 45-1 hour tothe first fishing spot .Then several miles to other spots. 20 miles normal. The peace of mind to have Twin outboars amazing. I run a 12 Ft Starcrcraft with twin 15 Hp. Pace of mind.Ok till today and for 40 yrs my single Hasn't failed me even when way out yonder. But?
Finally someone that comprehends what my other comment means! I said the same thing, in different words, and was told it wouldn’t matter and would make it slower😂 With that being said… Can you imagine that thing with a 12” or 16” jack plate, with hydraulic height adjustment, and power trim?!? SHEEEEEZUUUSS that’d be one wicked little b@stard!!!
Chuck some 15 pitch props on. Hard to find but on such a light tiny you'd get away with it lol. Running twin 30's on my centre console 5.2m rib at 60kmph. Must be heavier than your tinny hence I think you can prop up a bit lol
Check out the different gear ratios for more speed lol your wasting fuel those engines will rev and not go any faster. but that's The highest pitch prop you can buy for that engine the older 25 xds have better props for speed
Awesome - Loving the kill switch setup, safety first !

Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
Lucky no wind is getting in under the hull...

Just came from that video.... in two ways....
@@bmw328igearhead pics of one of the ways?
@@Gooie69 only for your mother....
That is just a fine combo for getting to the fishing NOW
Absolutely Cool. Nice motor pairing.
Nice tinny trimmed well looks good

I saw this in the river near Mungab! I was fishing in my boat and had to do a double take. Never seen a twin engine tinny before!
Hi , I go past mungab all the time , give us a wave , I love this part of the Murray river

Mate for a budget river boat it's certainly not slow!
You did great
An a fun idea
You followed through on it
The rest of us watched and marveled
Well done!
Thank you , I’m looking at 3 motors next

my god....I love the sound of it,,,,,
I always wondered what a boat would do with 2 motors mounted mid ship one on the left and the other on the right with a tie rod steering mechanism
Nice! Now I have to watch the triple! 😀
It might not look that fast from the shore or on camera but I’d bet a months pay I’d have a smile from ear to ear if I were getting a ride on it.
Not bad? That bad boy is flying.
does it affect your transom on your boat with the weight of 2 out boards in a engineering sense? what size motor was the hull rated for originally?...but is a great set up and fast little boat
We did strengthen the transom , may have been originally rated to one 28 to 30hp long shaft I have 2 short shaft
@@netikracing ok nice ....
Can u do a vid of one engine full forward and one full reverse to do a fast spin and full reverse
If you could clean the water up coming from the feet of the motors I bet I’d run a lil faster but dam does it need too lol looks fun
Nice Tinny . !
Awesome rig bud. 🤘🇺🇸👍
Gorgeous setup. Might accept more prop pitch?
Humanity restored.
Hello.
get a counter-rotating propeller, and swap forward and reverse on this motor!
You will be amazed how much better the boat is and how much faster it gets!
Spin em in and get some stern lift at speed
I have a quint 2.3 hp set-up on my 17 foot jon boat. It gets lots of stares
Do the props not cause cavitation being so close together?
not enough to worry about , more thrust from a extra motor gets rid of most cavitation
@@netikracing Good to know, cheers.
Very cool video
Makes cool noises
How many ft the boat with twin 30hps
Just under 14 feet
Strut this boat up, put on strong overbuild and kitesail this boat over the north sea. Its an order.
I am guessing with that kind of power, you could go with 19 inch pitch props
Best engine ever next to yamaha 90
wow 66 m p h ?
I have a small 17ft key west center console. Two 50's would make it run faster. Then you have the added assurance that two motors gives you
they go like a normal tohatsu mine flies on a 11ft tinny.
People think that you go out fishing around the bend a few miles away. Usualy you runn about 45-1 hour tothe first fishing spot .Then several miles to other spots. 20 miles normal. The peace of mind to have Twin outboars amazing. I run a 12 Ft Starcrcraft with twin 15 Hp. Pace of mind.Ok till today and for 40 yrs my single Hasn't failed me even when way out yonder. But?
u see the odd spray off the side of the stern ? its from wrong motor depth vs stern size. needs a jack plate
Put 10 inch diameter by 17 pitch props on and you will hit 55 mph put 10x19p and you will hit 65 mph ask me how I know
That's awesome
I say put on a jack plate so you can trim down. she hops.. but otherwise I like that set up. wondering about my pontoon boat now
Try it with 2 15hp on a 15 foot square stern canoe . Is it scary!!!!!
Very cool
Get those puppy’s higher on the transom!! Will pick up a lot of speed and rpm!
Finally someone that comprehends what my other comment means! I said the same thing, in different words, and was told it wouldn’t matter and would make it slower😂

Why not just put 1 60hp on there?
Good question, the reason is one big motor will have a much deeper draft , 2 small motors are good for shallow rivers
Two motor sweet
Nice
Too funny, the transom will take off without the boat.
👍👍👍
Mate, that's about as much speed as that hull can handle. Looks a bit dodgy
Time for twin 50s
Yes ,
Nice river rat
Looks like there is room for a third... just sayin'
I’m on to it !!!

i want to get balistik 15 inch props but they have been out of stock for a wile
@@netikracing get merc choppers if you can find them or some good high rake round ear props ...i never had real good perf with ballistics.
66 kph I bet you would get 70+ in salt water

Very flat when in the turn, more like a cat.

Bad-ass but you should be waring a life jacket if you get tossed out and knock out it might F-up your plans for the rest of the day.👍
