I Bought A NEW $300 eBay Gas Motor... Here's What Happened

Is the HANGKAI 4HP 4 stroke motor on the Intex Challenger 3 (or Seahawk) worth it?
I bought a $100 inflatable boat with a $300 outboard trolling motor and put them together with a $30 mount. Very portable and easy to store. Let me know in the comments what you would like my next video to be on, or if you have any questions.
This whole setup is under 500 bucks... (some of these are affiliated links :) )

The motor is too low in the water

I know the Mariner 4 is a lot more expensive, but if you are going to put a motor on an inflatable, it's the absolute minimum you need. The hard floor helps, plus more stiff pvc pontoons.

Love the vid, bro! Nice work

[@backtothe80s97]

Put longe r beams through the ore holes so motor won’t sag!

[@pascalzauberer9815]

Good Video. The Problem is, this Type of Boat is to soft for a Gas-Ejgine.

[@decardcain2549]

The motor mount is the problem he should get the one with the longer arm top mount... The shorter top arm can't support the weight and thrust of the motor

This is the most video ever

[@RileySorensen]

That’s the truest ever

Tengo el mismo problema con un motor y un bote excursion 4, el motor cuando acelero empuja abajo del bote, encontraste alguna solución

[@Wakeblake]

I think Chad the camera man is probably my favorite.

Lake Mead ? Oil from gear box

[@upsidedown1986]

Hi, we've got the same problem with the motor bend down low line that. Did you fix it?

[@sparklauerei1]

i have drilled more holes to raise the 'transom' plate and set the tilt of the motor to max. I need to make further mods to distrivute the force of the motor to the back of the boat to make it flex less. im running a 1.3hp 4 stroke gx35 clone and a intex excursion 4. im getting 6km/h max now with 2 people and some gear. for my small-ish lake thats good enough. But i wish i had bought the 4hp gx50 clone. or a 2.2hp yamaha. But that would give even more flex. a mariner 4 is better for motor, but with some diy tinkering you can also get a small motor running without leaning to much on a excursion 4/5

It can't function properly on that boat it's nearly immersed in the water.

[@mattlylofttv4308]

you mount your propeller to deep.. adjust it more higher.

[@RileySorensen]

I will give that a try

[@barry8458]

Gotta start somewhere…my best advice is to always carry a paddle or fins ..😂

[@RileySorensen]

Haha wise advice, I always take paddles with me

[@barry8458]

@@RileySorensen …I live on an island in the pacific( rough waters) runnin a jet ski…something goes wrong w/out help paddles ain’t going to do you any good..screw the j/ski…put on the fins and save your butt…👍🏼lol

[@rainerneumeister5239]

It's a 53 cc 2-2.5 HP. The boat is too soft to take the power.

[@RileySorensen]

Yes I agree! I will try a better boat next time. I over inflated it and ruined it last time

[@kerrytheclown]

Does this take gear oil?

[@RileySorensen]

Not that I could find!

[@Budget.bass.fishing]

Oh yes it dose . You gotta pop the bottom seal off .

[@dirtrascal171]

I subscribed after let’s go Brandon

[@francismarcoux8944]

Inflate it more next time

[@RileySorensen]

I did this last time and it ruined it. I will need a better boat this year
