Mud-Skipper Surface Drive SPORT Version Unboxing, Mount And Test Ride With Predator 420cc

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

I spelled description wrong because I'm a big dumb goof😂..thx for watching!

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

@Chuck Barnes that's cool man!..thx for watching!

[@michelegarrett8258]

You'll understand why they sent five props if you get into the logs and stumps 😂, from experience I suggest stick to mud and grass!! Otherwise you better have a stainless prop! My experience was three props for a quarter mile and done, but in really bad terrain 😂😂😂

[@Tdog9915]

Really like this jobnboat the rails are a nice addition 👍🏻

[@mitchellwright7470]

Question: Could you set this up with a steering wheel rather than the steering arm? I am replacing a 25hp merc on a 17ft Lowe type boat. I am hoping I can sub in a 22hp Predator motor. What do upu think?

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

I'm sure it could be done...maybe with a pully system or something..let me know how it turns out

[@buckeye8480]

Awesome video the fishing, and night running made this video! About where were you? Hoping to put together a 12’ or 14’ boat this winter for central Florida river, and back water running. Take care!

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

I'm central Florida as well..thx for for watching

How well does it run with one person ?

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

I wanna say about 24 26mph..it's been a minute...sorry for the late response

[@hunterslifestyle625]

Clean setup thanks for the response

[@DBD801]

Nice catch man! Going to be getting a similar setup but a stage 3 predator 420

[@kristiankitsch6976]

Let me know how that goes thinking about a carb Rod and no governor on mine with heavier springs..

[@DBD801]

@@kristiankitsch6976 it’s definitely worth it, I’ve had go karts and mini bikes and I’ve built all the motors and did mikuni carbs and it’s a night and day difference the amount of throttle response and power gain you get throughout the power curve is insane. These engines are so choked up from factory it’s not even funny

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Thx California..lol

[@justgotohm4775]

All ready have the 420 stage 1, so nice to be able to know exactly what to expect from the kit I’m ordering. Thanks for posting.

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

[@GOODTIMESOUTDOORS]

That thing is pretty sweet!

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

How much did you give for that bad boy? That adjustment bracket that bolts to the transmission is called a Jack Plate you can get them so fancy that they have a motor that brings it up and down but not in and out the in-and-out part of it is always fixed on my Skeeter I had a 10 in Jack Plate and you got to kind of mess with them one turn of the bolt makes a difference. So to find that sweet spot you drive it all the way down and give its a four turns to bring it up and then you will notice the difference each time you stop and redo it. So as you're coming up with it you do Ford turns and then do it again for terms and then once it starts getting so bad then you start heading back down but only use two turns and you'll you'll be able to feel the difference it takes a couple of hours cuz you got to stop kill the motor Maybe give the Jack played a couple of turns tighten it back down excetera excetera excetera. But my point is it's called a Jack Plate

[@bandedcalls]

Good video how do yall think that same set up would do on my boat I have a 14ft jon boat duracraft from the 70s I weigh 240

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

The 420cc will push it..in my opinion..thx for watching friend

I would go with the V twin 22 hp. No vibration and twice the HP

[@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh]

Hows this thing holding up? Man, 19 mph...youre doing better than my 1648 grizz with a 25 outboard and 2 guys with a 4 blade 9 inch prop

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

He actually bent a valve last week..besides that it holding up good...thx for watching Friend

[@harleywayne6456]

I totally dig the surface drives for their turning/gear ratio ability, but where I live I don't have to deal with a lot of vegetation, just the occasional super shallow rocky stretch of river. Which do you think is better for shallow water and ease of getting the prop up over obstacles? The long tail or the surface drive? I'm putting together a 1542 with 13hp for putting around little rivers/big creeks

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Long tail for that kinda terrain..or jet drive..lol

[@seedlessgrapes2605]

That kid included everything a except a six pack of beer.

She would do 25 no problem when we got the trim dialed in...thx for watching

Does it have neutral like it says on website?

Clutch driven so at low idle prop shouldn't spin...however we had problems with the clutch not disengaging..so ya..

How is that kit holding up,,any problems or fabricating to it

Clutch keeps failing..locking up

Thanks Harold!..come on down we will take ya for a ride!

[@seedlessgrapes2605]

It's so crazy that everywhere is closed. What a downer.

[@joshpeglow7404]

How does the boat sit ans handle in the water with just the driver in the rear of the boat? Would float pods be a thought after putting that motor and kit on? I've got a 12 foot jon that I want to put the same set up on but I rarely have a second guy with me to weight down the front.

U dont need the float pods...thx for watching

No problem with the chain or anything

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

@@dirtysouthoutdoor2662 chain is good

[@corymargison2842]

Got a question I just got the same kit in but the belt driven instead of chain driven. The four bolts to mount the belt/chain housing is not threading in easy qt all and instructions say do not force them. My question is did you have a hard time to thread yours? Mine are also Allen wrench style.

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Ya..it could be the powder cout paint in the holes..try to take a file or sand paper to get the paint off the inside of the holes..hope this helps ...good luck

If you know size and thread count, run a tap into the holes.
