Finally, a video we can all base a decision of of. Great tips and ideas. THANK YOU!

TIP: use a section of garden hose as a conduit for your fuel line when running it between the seat and hull. You can thank me when you're not stuck in the swamp with a leaking fuel line. Mud boats get a lot more vibration to wear any friction points along the fuel line.

Thanks for the vid bro. I have a 14x36 and I want to make a surface drive for it, this helped a lot. Cant go wrong with that 5200! I found an old boat on a levee with a tree growing through it. Once I cut the tree down and got all the snakes out of it, I patched it up with some cardboard and 5200. I threw a 25 on it and used that boat for four years with no leaks, before someone stole it.

nice setup,what I did to clean up my boat interior is get 3/4 inch pvc conduit and slide it in rib where you have your lines now.Put gas line inside one and battery cables inside toher one.

does work amazing.... powerful to make wake upstream and downstream... two friends on a 14 Sundolphin Scout Elite canoe. Quick assembly, very solid construction. A great buy.

[@rickrascon6487]

Good video brother installed predator motor on my new holland skid steer seems to be working fine fun boat 👍

[@martingarza3383]

Great vid. Suggestions run your fuel line and power cables thru conduit doesn't have to be metal. Use a fuel and dielectric grease on as many electrical components as possible. Shrink fittings are great on your wires are good protection.

If you cut or break off a small pocket knife blade and then hose clamp it to the end of your long tail drive so that the tip of the broken blade is about a 1/16 to an 1/8th inch from touching your prop it will cut and chop all the weeds as the prop swings them by. I wrap the hose clamp in electrical tape. I tried this as a quick fix while fishing crawfish ponds and it worked so well that I never bothered to improve upon it. You could weld it or wire tie it or epoxy it for a more hydro dynamic flow but these things are so crude to start with and it works fine with this 5 minute fix. serrated blade was what i had on me and used. Broke the blade in a vise . The square flat broken tip lines up good at the leading edge of your prop and quickly shortens the pocket knife blade to a usable level. After you hit heavy weeds just raise your prop and rev it once. Weeds will still wrap your shaft in between your blade and shaft but wont matter much.

I would add a stiffener or two between transom and rear seat.. wood, aluminum, something... to distribute some of the torque forward into the hull..

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

I like it. It definitely has it uses. Do some good friggin with it. Go for ever on 6 gallons.
