Room inside was getting a little tight, so I had to make the lid a little thinner so it would shut. Otherwise having rubber on the lid would have helped. Thanks for the comment.

I've been having some fun riding around in other peoples boats. I will have a couple more speed tests coming up too. Good to hear from you Robert. Have you been getting any fishing in yourself?

@@GoMidwestFishing yes the last 3 weekends camping with some fishing 🎣 on the side 😊

Its been a while since I did this, so I don't remember all the specs. I believe I spaced them at 24 inches. I put the AC at the high point on the roof, so all the water would drain away from it. Its probably best to keep the AC near the center to balance the weight since the roof moves up and down. Good luck on your repair!

Solar does seem to be a popular choice these days. I think it would work well for just keeping the basics charged up, but for charging things like deep cycle marine batteries, you need a lot of power. I'm fishing all day when the sun is out, so the only time I can charge it is in the evening, so solar isn't going to cut it. It would be nice to have the option of either one though.

@@GoMidwestFishing Could you just get two Lithium batteries and keep one hooked up to your boat and the other on shore charging and then swap them at night? I replaced the deep cycle batter with two Lithium batteries that weighed less than the one deep cycle and basically doubled my battery life.

I had a lot of fun making this one. Plus I had a beautiful lake to do it on too. Thanks Fernando.

They should call them roundish lakes. I've never fished a perfectly round lake!

Thanks for the tip. Do they run on 110 AC?

Its been a while, but I think I put $1500 into the roof. It took about a month to do. That was just working on it when I had spare time, a few hours here and there. I'm sure supply costs had gone up quite a bit now, so you would have to price it out. The corners and trim pieces were difficult to find too. The superflex worked great though. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Hey, I'm a beginner too. These are all good questions. You can make the box any size you want. I will warn you though, that this box was heavy! If you want it to be portable, it will have to stay small. Otherwise, you can make it as heavy as you want if it will stay stationary. I think some insulation between generators would help dampen the noise. Just make sure they each have adequate air flow for cooling. Good luck on the build!

I was actually able to find it. Here it is: amzn.to/4cAP3gX This is the same one, but it also has the mesh on the front rack to protect your window.

Thanks!

I was surprised at the efficiency loss. This boat will be used for going up shallow rivers, so it works great for that. It has its purpose, but probably not for the everyday fisherman.

Its a beautiful area, if they could just get rid of the mosquitoes. I will check out Louie's next time I'm in town.

It would be nice to have tilt/trim. The neat thing about this setup is that the jet pump sits level with the boat transom, so you don't even have to tilt it up when launching the boat.

So far all the boats I've tested are in the 30mph range. That's pretty good to go 30mph with a 40HP motor. Thanks for the info.

I've been working hard on getting good audio, so I appreciate that you noticed! I have several more videos coming from Alaska, and I'm excited to see how they turn out. I may have to make a few more visits up there. Thanks P and J.

@@GoMidwestFishing So excited to see your upcoming videos! We are definitely planning a trip ourselves! Not sure when yet but it's happening!

I'm hoping to go back up to Alaska so he can show me how it runs up a shallow river. Many more adventures to be had. Thanks Wes.

It’s horrible

I looked up the specs, and it shows everything but the fuel burn, so I'm not sure.

4 years later it is still holding up great, so I will call that a win. I appreciate the subscribe!

Thanks for the info. I did not know that. I will look it up.

Speaking of snakes, I just had a snake swim across the water and tried to get in my boat! Maybe I should have put him on my line.

@@GoMidwestFishing Wow that's freaky!

Hi Frank from Chicago (Great name).I have not been to trout lake yet. It was one I was considering while up there. Would it be a good lake to try?

@@GoMidwestFishing It's a big, deep Glacier lake, I always fished the South end of the lake, you gotta be careful of the depth, it will go from 50 ft to boulders in a flash, some huge fish if you can find them. I'd love to see your take on fishing that lake. Theres a narrows that separates the North and South.

You'd be surprised how many times people see themselves or their house in my videos. Congrats! You made the video.

Thanks for the vote. We have a lot of gas lantern lovers here, so you are in good company.

Well, a Gar sure would make it more interesting. I have never caught a gar before, but I have seen some in northern waters, so they do exist.

Found it, thanks.
