They make bigger cluches for it to when you at an idle the prop won't spin ir it slows it down a lot i can't remember

Nice vid

Little late on the comment but supposed to glue that handle on so it doesn’t slide

Huh?

Why did you stop making videos?

I want one I'm sick of the high cost of the motors around here and maintaining them. The predators engines are simple and tough.

Why not just make a locking system on your bracket instead of a tie-down like that? I get it's easy but just a thought. That is, if you even have this anymore lol.

Does it drink gas pretty fast? Noticed you got a gas can in the boat

You shouldn’t have to worry about duck hunting. Ducks won’t spook like that, gatortails and pro drives just idle in and the ducks don’t care I’ve done it many times

Just ordered one

You must not be taking care of it right then I mean you got in your house right now so it's extraordinary all human sin I've been sent also I had deer staying directly down wind wind blowing in their face at 10 yd and they did not wind me

Bro, I need the brackets, the shaft and the whole thing that converts that engine to be an outboard. I have a motor, but I want it converted to an outboard. Bro help, where can I get the kit.

It's so back heavy cause you mounted the motor on backwards. Not even playing.

So you float from the Dam, all the way down to West Point and pull out past the bridge?

On

The ducks come back I don't worry about that

Jordan did you use the large kit with the 16hp duromax and would you recommend it for a 12 ft boat

Great review. If you flip the transom mount around so the pivot is on the inside it will give you less weight aft better balance and your rope on the handle it will keep the shaft out of the water for starting and idling, makes starting easier. No one here in Thailand and Asia where these are made stands up they all sit down where that seat doesn't really work out in that boat for sitting. you could pop those rivets out and move that seat back or forward and use a small stool or chair like I do. You can see my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfVqayAq7Zlg8U .. Glad you like it Jon Dobs at Swamp Runner is a great guy.

Did you put your 18hp on a 8-16hp kit? I’m about to order one an didn’t know if it work I’ve got the same motor

It idles. It just doesn't have a clutch to be in neutral. But that also gives more power to the prop being straight drive. Thinking about getting one and slapping a motor like yours on it. Maybe a 20 hp. Idk yet. Probably have the same boat you have

put a little shoe-goo in the foam handle and glue it in !

What’s up bud I fish turkey and whit water creek each spring for crappie gonna try bass for my channel this spring wish me luck enjoyed your video

They call this setup a THAI LONG TAIL --But That is a LIE !! This SETUP ORIGINATED IN CHINA !!! now THAI makes them and exports them. I ve been traveling to China for 25 yrs and was married to a true non communist party Chinese Lady farmer on the Yangzee River in Guangze Province !! I know the true story of the air cooled LONGTAIL !!!! Made and copied and sold from THAILAND -- DESIGNED AND ORIGINATED IN CHINA !!!

Censored by KZbin again by saying KIND WORDS !!! Almost as bad as Facebook-- Rock On Ill Crack a Kool One Now For You !!!!

Hello my friend !! 1 1/2 yrs later I see your video KOOLBREEZE ---Honest Crack a beer FIRST !! Im going to build a long tail kit on 14 ft 36 with 8 hp predator. Im debating on buying the swamp runner full kit I dont want. I only want the shaft drive from motor out and design my own cradle and steering arm and throttle set up. Whatever is cheaper. I ll be making in depth vids of physics engineering and ergo dynamics to make a very efficient and comfortable set up on a 14 ft jon boat. and how to make a stow away handle so isnt hanging out the back when trailering and if only running slow not on plane how to make comfortable balance of motor and such. Very rarely will I need to run full bore. Im subscribing to your channel. Thanks for your vid. Drink a cold one with me !!! If you recieve this comment let me know and subscribe to my channel of 46 now : ) Gods Bless You My Friend. Be safe and take care ok !! ronnie918644 Ronnie Vollbrecht on Facebook. Facebook Hates Me -- Good Deal : )

How would one of these do in rapids? I have always wondered. I hunt/fish a variety of water up here in da UP of Michigan. I duck hunt in muck that is like going through wet concrete, also fish for salmon/steelhead in shallow rivers with lots of rapids. I was thinking of building a jet jon for a while but it would clog in the muck. Wondering if you could run fast rivers with a set-up like this or if the tail would pop out of the water.

Definitely agree with the magnet being weak. Had to modify mine.

how is the sizing? you say you bought a large? how tall are you? I am only 5'6", and probably need a size small, but i just scored a medium size off ebay for only $60, used but it looks brand new. Hoping it's not going to be too terribly oversized on me. awesome suit either way, and can't go wrong for $60.00. even if I have to do some fabricating.

Is that the 100 inch shaft or 85?

I don’t see it no louder that someone coming up through flooded timber with a regular outboard,,and every time they go across a log ,,the exhaust blows up out of the water,,actually not as loud In my opinion,,cause you would b idling,,,and someone coming up through there with an outboard would b gunning to get across logs and blowing the exhaust out of the water,,,so your good man,,,and besides that if your where the ducks want to b they will come back,,,they are stupid that way,,,always go where the ducks want to b,,that way you wont b second guessing yourself

Awesome

the mudkipper prime version is the same thing but cheaper...they make all these in the same factory in thailand. all the 3 letter companies are made in the same sps factory...jt gatoring is a swamp runner shill that lives right next to swamp runner

I WAS wonderin', "What d' hick is iss?" 'til you said, "I finna put it on." It just seems to me if SL worked, the drug cartels would have every shipment wrapped in it, and the demand would make it cost prohibitive and virtually unavailable to the average hunter.

How much is the swamp runner mud motor kit..thx

pretty cool! hows it holding up? btw, whats the thrust on that minnkota?

Amigo muy bien su pque peque quiero hacer uno pero no se cuanto mide de largo el tubo y el largo de la aspa. Si me puedes ayudar con esod daticos

Nice video! Love to kayak from Morgan Falls to Paces Mill. What is your favorite section of the Chattahoochee River to Kayak? Just subbed #239!

I don't know why someone couldn't put some lead weights inside their handle or clamp some on the outside of their handle to balance it out somewhat. I think you could do it in a way that it would hardly be noticeable especially with matching paint. I have other ideas how to make it better but I would want copyright benefits...maybe the owners will contact me ;)

I had the opportunity & the pleasure to ride in the Thais Long Tail boats over there in Thailand when i was in the military. The Thais used. . . . . & i kid you not. . . . V-6 & V- 8 Chevy/Ford engines for their powerplants. And these boats are fast as all can be!!! Thankya young man for sharing this video. Lookin forward to seeing your boat iut on the water. Take care & God Bless.

Where on West Point you fishing?

Modify the engine mount and place the engine more forward of the pivot. It will add weight on the engine end of the drive and it'll be a lot easier to maneuver along with being easier on your back. The Thais run 1.5 liter diesels(HEAVY!) in their longtail tour boats. It's all a matter of balancing the engine and shaft over the pivot.

I’m looking for one but can you take this on Mississippi River

That looks like a good mount to traverse the tight swamps/rivers of Northeastern North Carolina.

Put one round of duct tape on the bar then beat the handle on there and will not come off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6O8Xqxmg896gdk

Can't you just lift the prop out the water for neutral when running ?

Thanks for turning it around, i was sure beginning to scratch my head a little

This is why Amazon reviews are often more helpful than KZbin reviews. Every KZbin review of this thing seems to be a cheesy dishonest promotion, while your video has dislikes despite seeming like just a normal honest response to the product. My experience was similar to yours and I was frustrated by it's design oversights, and many buyers on amazon agree.

Will salt water kill the shaft or props

What size swamp runner kit is that and how much did it cost

Man I live in Waco Georgia, you need somebody running a net so you could’ve landed that fish !
