Diving off a Thundercat Review

[@lifetheoryOG]

Amazing content! I’m very impressed by your production quality as well.

ive had 6 people and full of camping gear and my Thundercat planned just fine.

[@codemang3635]

This one is almost 15ft long. I could really use a 60 or 70hp. It does ok though. A stainless prop will eventually happen.

When I was a kid living in Croatia around the Adriatic Sea, my cousin had a similar set up. If I remember correctly he had 70 or 75hp 2 stroke mercury outboard fitted, that thing absolutely ripped. The boat almost spent more time in the air, than it did on water, absolutely ridiculous. We used to go scallop diving together ( more like he ) used to go scallop diving, I was there just for the boat ride. Nice video sir, diving on your own in those waters is not for the faint hearted, stay safe 👍.

Love your setup!

Would it be possible to fit it in the bed of a truck or does it have to be transported by trailer?

[@codemang3635]

You can get them in pretty much any length. I would say it's doable, as long as you support the transom with a sturdy bunk from underneath. You could probably do that with something homemade that goes into the Hitch receiver

Hello, do you think a 4 stroke 25hp is suitable for this boat as well?

[@codemang3635]

It would be underpowered. However, they do make a smaller version of this boat with an air floor. It still has the hijacker tubes too. That would be a good pairing. Plus, you could fold it all the way up and haul it without a trailer.

Here is the link to the boat. But, yes, they have tons of options. You can get them configured pretty much however you want very easily, from 11ft up to 20ft. They will even make it in orca hypalon if you want. Mine is 1.2mm pvc, instead of the typical .9mm Custom colors, graphics, floor, even style of transom.

Just make sure to get a 15" short shaft. I kinda screwed up getting a long shaft, and had to weld a riser on. It still does ok.

@@codemang3635 it’s very difficult to find 2 stroke motors here in the USA, can a 4 stroke be used with them.
