- Top speed run on my 2018 Tracker Topper 1236 jon boat, with a 2018 5hp Tohatsu four stroke. If anyone knows about the 7 or 6 pitch prop for these engines please leave a comment. Thank you for watching.

Great top end! Getting weight forward would be far more effective with that little motor than decreasing prop pitch.
I think hole shot would be a bit of an oxymoron with 5 hp.
A lower pitch prop might be needed if it won’t plane with a maximum load but 15mph with a normal load on 5 hp is pretty optimized already.
Putting the trolling motor on the bow and adding a 10-15lb lifepo4 battery as far forward as you can get it. Reduce fuel to maybe a gallon, move fuel tank forward of the seat and carry a quart reserve. Change your anchor out to a Cooper nylon anchor.
On boats and airplanes weight really matters especially with very low power.
Do all of the above and it might crawl out of the hole a little faster.
To get on plane a boat has to climb the bow wave and start down the far side. The bump in the wake of a boat is the bow wave that you are both generating and outrunning.
Or you can just go fishing which is my recommendation. You can add a bigger engine but then you give up shallow water capability, economy, stealth, stability, ease of launching and handling.
In my eyes your rig is perfect as is. Build it for your most common mission not for the mission you might use it for occasionally. Thanks for sharing I am going to build the same boat to replace my Hobie Outback.
Thanks for the comment. I will explore with moving weight forward.
I remember Waterskiing on a 25hp Johnson im also a snow skier so didnt mind plowing water till we got up to speed. That Boat went about 32mph nice water skiing in Maine. Thanks Dad!
Quick video about building the casting deck would be great. Nice video nonetheless. Keep it up
you can change the prop and the carb and have a 6hp that will get a few more mph on that boat.
I'd be thrilled, that's a nice set up Chase. Enjoy it.
Nice set up!
Have you done a video on your front deck of your boat ,looks pretty nice,
Not yet, I'm hoping to do an "Update Video" soon that will have the front deck in it as well as a back deck.
Thank you for this Test. It helps me a lot!
i am 70 and a newbe jon boater lol i just got a 12 ft jon boat a tracker topper with the slimmer hull ..i got a 1976johnson 6hp 2 stroke ,and a 12v 25 thrust troller ..i am thinking of putting a 9.5 on iy but mighty be to much ,,i subbed ya and will need your info on stuff ,,nice neat job you done ,,any advice on led lighting ?also the casting deck is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet any plans available for size etc ,thanks bro ,,nice work
Put a 10hp on it!
Great video, Can’t wait to see the stability video
I have the same 1236 from bass pro. I have a Sea Pro 10hp on it. With the Bimini top up 27mph.
I had a Coleman 5hp 4stroke. It ran 14mph
Will it handle a 20hp ?
Nice I have a 14ft Jon boat with a Mercury 5 horsepower 2 stroke and it pushes me and my brother 10 miles per hour
You need a 15hp.
How did you build the partial front deck? It looks good...
With speed app do you used?
Why is the fire extinguisher right next to the only thing in the boat that can catch fire?
If you change the prop pitch, you will get out of the Hole Quicker, but you Top end speed will be lower?
Was that upstream or downstream time? Looking to get a 2020 tracker like yours. I have a yamaha 4hp 4 stroke. Don't forget to chain the motor down or through bolt it.
Subbed.
This was running upstream into the current.
What App did you use for the speed?
Nice. Check out my vids of the 2020 Mercury 5hp on a 14ft alumacraft. Did 17mph wide open 15mph with all my gear and my wife. Very pleased with the new 2020 mercury 5hp outboard. Trim adjustments go along way.
Yours is a Tohatsu too!
I have a 5HP 2020 Merc 5HP on the back of my square stern canoe. It moves at 12.5mph. Videos on my youtube site. I put 140# sand bags in front. Canoes are not supose to plane. Makes it more stable also.
Drop a Mercury 9.9 on there, you'll be Flyin!
LMAO saying the word Mercury means nothing....when the facts are tohotsu builds all the 9.9 and smaller outboards for all manufacturers...... Mercury don't make it faster
Move all your weight forward. Trolling Motor, battery and fuel tank. Then it will plane out much faster.
You need a Bigger motor!
Send him some money....
Hey Chase, how’s your trolling motor mount working out for you, I have mine in the stern but I’m trying to lighten the weight up back there, just wondering
Working out good so far. I've only had it out 6 times I think, but seems to be holding up fine. Moving that little bit of weight up front will help tremendously.
Mount trolling motor up front! Move battery Infront of aft bench seat next to your feet, it will plane faster!
How much weight can this thing handle total?
Tracker's website says it will hold 480 lbs.
It will hold 5 people! And eventually sink to the bottom
My 6hp mercury won't even put my 1436 on plane
Needs at least a 15hp.
@@NervousNick I put a 9.9 on it and got 19 out of it.
Too heavy should be hitting 17-18mph
He'll no
