DIY Predator 79cc Gas Powered Paddle Board! Part 2/2. Finish and ride!

[@richardcarlisle6692]

Cool build. If you eliminate the rocker in the bottom at the rear it would plane off and go much faster. The hull you have is like a semi displacement hull.

[@Mikefestiva]

That turned out great 👍 What a cool project! Nice idea with the two pumps 👍 I’m surprised that 3HP engine did pretty good. Happy holidays!

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Thanks Mike! Yeah I really enjoyed this build, it was a good learning experience working with Epoxy and fiberglass. I won’t have a garage space with the Ohio home, so I think I’m going to get into some CAD design and 3-D printing on the smaller scale stuff.

[@haydenc2742]

Oh man...that is soooooo cool! Who knew 3HP would push that thing so fast! Great Job!!!!!!

[@alessdiazlopez54]

Wow men look super fun! And It seems ti have a good speed for the small engine

[@kkutube1972]

Awesome and rewarding, a great project.

[@phallicsymbol7393]

You're awesome. I'm looking to build a motorized wooden sup so I've been watching lots of videos with all kinds of creative electric, gas, and different hull material and design solutions. You did it most effectively and made it look easy!

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Thank you! Are you looking ti make something high powered or more of a helping thruster?

[@phallicsymbol7393]

@@JakeItsTheCops Not high powered but I want long range, low cost and not too complicated so I'm going with gas and prop. I really liked your setup. That 79cc Predator looks like a good choice for me but I'm still researching.For a short range helping thruster I would likely just buy one that's already on the market.

[@DrSimonG]

Awesome video, man. Nice work on the board! It got me thinking… I recently built a go-kart with a predator 300cc engine, put in a stage 2 performance upgrade (new flywheel, new piston rod, new cam, new valve springs, removed governor) and I upgraded the carb. Ended up putting out (as an estimate) between 15 and 20 hp. Would be so much fun to do that with a paddle board (if the weight isn’t too much). Thanks for an entertaining video, really enjoyed it! 🤠

[@JakeItsTheCops]

That’s awesome. Yeah idk if that would be too much weight but I definitely would do a bigger motor in tue future, like a 212cc. I was going for low profile on this one.

[@punkbloater]

That looked like great fun, cool build! 👍🏻

Cool Merry Christmas 🎄

[@deathbyparker]

Definitely cool stuff. I bet if you submerged the end of the exhaust in the water it would be way quieter.

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Hmmm I wonder if that would cut down on performance?

[@jasonmorieson4667]

Great build well done*!!!

That came out really great, Merry Christmas...

that is frikin awesome sauce!!!!!

[@ilyanikolayev]

Turn the rpms up. Remove the governor. Dont spin it too fast otherwise you might granade the flywheel. Looks good

Yeeeep, gov is history. Thanks!

Dude your videos are sick you should have way more subs than you do.

[@JakeItsTheCops]

I appreciate the support my dude!

[@ethanturner9110]

That's awesome man! What did you use to glue the foam boards together? What dimensions did you make the board?

[@ethanshort5761]

Why put the pulse pumps in a sealed case? They are sealed plastic, why not just mount them on top of the engine? Ether way, cool build! Looks like it works great!

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Honestly I just didn’t know lol it looked like there was a vent at the top pulse pump so I just played it safe.

[@gokhankeles8998]

Super helpfull video. I was planning to do same with a small bodyboard as sea scooter. Have you ever test to use it like sea scooter. I think it can pull a men easly inside sea.

[@lvwade271]

Very nice sup, where can I get the engine ?

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Harbor freight!

[@playyachino2497]

Did u make the intake manifold or did u order it off a website I need one

[@JakeItsTheCops]

I actually got it off Amazon, I think you can just search predator 79cc performance carburetor. Lots of options.

[@SSRacing66]

I was wondering if a 40cc 2-stroke would work (cause I have one ) 😁

[@JakeItsTheCops]

If I could redue this I’d use a 212cc. Honestly I looked at so many of the DYII builds on KZbin and it seems like they’re always under powered when they try to use a small motor… I would go bigger, or else I would use a very high-performance motor like off a 2 stroke racing dirt bike….but then the motor end up being really expensive….soooo yeah I’d go bigger displacement for cheap motors. 79cc was on the low end of power and that was after upgraded carb and intake etc.

[@alessdiazlopez54]

I'm new to the nautic world haha, do you think It's better the prop like you've mount than a jet system?

[@JakeItsTheCops]

I’d say it’s just wayyyy simpler. And less expensive in that a jet drive for a small engine would be hard to come by unless you made your own. To adjust efficiency of the set up I basically just buy a different size prop, or shave down the one I have. With a jet drive system you’re looking at the size of the prop, size of the outlet, size of a nozzle, size of the inlet, lots of attention to engine RPM and torque curves for the best performance…I’d like to get there just not yet.

With the wind on a good day I’d say like 5-7mph.

[@jasonmorieson4667]

If u dont mind what was the cost of the project?

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Hmm I’d estimate like $800 to $1200.

[@gokhankeles8998]

Don t you protect engine from water?

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Do you mean from sucking water into the air intake, or just splashes and what not?

[@gokhankeles8998]

@@JakeItsTheCops yes dont you think to put a cover above engine? May be this cover with some insulation material can reduce rumor as well.

[@JakeItsTheCops]

@@gokhankeles8998 so that would be an awesome idea but the problem is because this engine is air cooled, covering it would lead it to overheating right away… It actually got quite hot pretty quickly without a cover. I definitely got plenty of splashes on it but because the air intake is somewhat protected with the filter it really doesn’t cause a problem to the engine unless you flood the engine bay area. I will say it’s definitely not something that will last forever, a liquid cooled engine that can be completely sealed would be the best. I looked into those a lot and they are quite expensive.

[@gokhankeles8998]

@@JakeItsTheCops yes i was thinking to use 62 cc 2 stroke engine or 52 cc 4 stroke honda gx 50 engine. If they pull me 5 6 mph inside sea. It will enough for me. I tried with 34 lbs trolling motor but speed not enough and battery is problem expensive heavy etc.

[@gokhankeles8998]

@@JakeItsTheCops i will think again about cover. If there are overheating problem. But 15 minutes working then stopping also create overheating ?

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Sorry there aren’t any plans for this but I tried to include as much details on how I made it in the videos. If you have any questions I’d be happy to try and help.

[@darrylshearon3325]

Check out the mud motor pages on Facebook. Alot of technical info on rpms and prop sizes.

[@JakeItsTheCops]

Yeah I basically amazoned a “3-5 hp” prop…which turns out I needed a smaller on. I even shaved down the fins. Lots of trial and error.
