Highly recommend getting the thai prop adapter much better and faster

[@marshman3003]

Do you mean to get it to be able to change the props? I just ordered a 22hp kit and would like to get a high speed out of it.

[@azlongtales]

@@marshman3003 yes you will be able to use any size and brand of thai style props with the thai prop adapter

[@Novagunner]

you can bring the idle down on that by quite a bit..... you can really save some gas if you do !! When they come from the factory they come set to a wroking idle, which is good for equipment that these mowers go on most the time. But you can get it lower and i would definitely suggest it ! you MIGHT not need a trolling motor....

[@tradesmenlife]

Thanks for the info, Sold the motor, going conventional Honda or Merc , docking is a real challenge with the long tails

[@Novagunner]

@@tradesmenlife fair play ! good luck with your next venture !!!

[@cdp50359]

I'd suggest for you to change that front runner. You will eventually collapse your runner's

[@tradesmenlife]

Yeah it's getting replaced

[@dakotabeharry482]

Did you get a top speed on this set up?

[@tradesmenlife]

Sold it before I could max it out

[@justmert2512]

Definitely need to adjust your idle

[@tradesmenlife]

Nope sold it

[@smalltownbigvlogs577]

Why did you sell it?

[@computernuts69]

What was the name of the factory that made the boat ? I know u said was out business just curious tho

[@tradesmenlife]

Alumcraft on the west coast by Tampa , they are still in business, that location factory closed

[@javery50]

I bet it was hard to dock. Anyone realize there was no hand throttle. The idle could be lowered almost to stall speed.

[@tradesmenlife]

Yep, if you have a sand beach launch then it’s fine, but definitely not dock friendly even with a throttle handle

[@javery50]

There are definitely better designs for more favorable conditions. But a long tail mud motor is your best chance of getting through thick country without an airboat.

[@javery50]

@@tradesmenlife not great for long runs either.

[@juliosdiy3206]

That thing might be overkill for my 15 flat bottom but i would like a smaller one with electric start. Im only 110 lbs n its hard for my arms to pull the recoil at times i tell ya my 16 yr old cannot start my recoil suzuki 6hp hes as big as me but is a little heavier.

[@tradesmenlife]

Yep , electric start is well worth it

[@arifinipin476]

Aircraft Engine the best of me how much sir....?

[@tradesmenlife]

Motor sold, still have boat, going back to a conventional marine motor

[@ScottyBeen1000]

You should be getting at least +20 MPH

[@tradesmenlife]

Yeah it's a strong motor

[@ferroferreiratrailers531]
