Pelican Intruder 12’ Jon Boat w/ Hangkai 6hp motor

Here's my Pelican Intruder 12’ Jon Boat that I'm modifying with paddle hold downs and I also added the Hangkai 6hp outboard motor.

[@immunepyrex631]

Dude the foam in the bottom of the boat ridges is the best idea I’ve ever seen.

[@Pitmaster]

Foam?

[@immunepyrex631]

@@Pitmaster maybe I am mistaken, what did you use to fill the ridges at the bottom of the boat?

[@whareisthelove]

I Really like what you did there sir, :=D you've made that vessel one 'Dynamite Gal'! I can't tell you how many hours I've spent watching KZbin videos of John Boat builds, upgrades and add on's, etc, However the simplicity you've kept in your boat is, in my opinion, Way Better than any of that, Hats Off to You Sir!!

[@Pitmaster]

Thank you very much!

[@scottsbaitsandtackle]

Same exact set up I just got. Same boat and motor. Still setting mine up. Taking it out tomorrow for first time.

[@PainShock_99]

I have the same boat. I love it. I just bought a outboard motor for it today. I made some custom plywood plank for front and back section. I also put my trolling motor in the front. I'm gonna do some more DIY to it here in the next week. Goodjob with your setup👌🏽👍🏼

[@FoolisH409]

Be careful not to make it too heavy buddy won’t be safe!

[@boprather6218]

Thank you for posting this video! I have been wondering what to do about the seats… I got it now!

[@dfwfishfeen8909]

Nice simple setup. Just got one, took it out twice, awesome. I need those seats and a outboard. 50 thrust trolly works great as well.

[@anthonytyler8627]

I'm really debating on getting this boat to get out farther on the river and lakes to be able to do some more fishing. I'm already a kayak fisherman but I like how you set yours up.

[@michellwarner3777]

What are the name brand of the seat brackets. We bought some attwood and the bottom is too large to fit between braces on the seats. Ours looks like yours but they aren't fitting correctly.

[@Bullmanure24]

Do those seats not pop off all the time while your sittin and lean over or something?

[@sikkadventures]

What seat mounts/clamps did you use for the seats? I have some and theyre too large to fit between the ribs of the boat? Thanks man

[@jn1096]

How do you find the flex on the transom with the outboard motor? Out of all the concerns that seems to be the #1 concern.

[@CHOWDRYFARMS]

Hi, where and how did you get the seats from and install them . Are they sliding. looking to make a similar set up.

[@chancemanning7]

Really digging the set up man! now I'm I'm itching for one!

[@salmenda]

hows it handle 2 people? I weigh about 280lb and my kid is around 100. Curious about adding trolling motor and battery. just curious how it works for you if you have 2 people in it

[@803Catfishin]

I have the Sundolphin American12 wich is very similar. How stable is the boat? And how stable are those seat? They just clamp on?

[@RONALDB62]

Hello Again. Did you get the Attwood Swivel base with clamps from Walmart or the Marine Raider product from Academy Sports? Thanks.

[@Pitmaster]

Amazon, boat seat mounts

[@brucebotimer3534]

Can you please tell me where you got your seat clamps that fits your Pelican Intruder. Having a very hard time finding them let me know thanks Bruce

[@RONALDB62]

hello have same boat also, waiting for my 6hp 2stroke arriving tomorrow, I thought the swivel seat holders were too wide for the bench dividers but looks like they fit ok, which brand are those? Thanks.

[@Pitmaster]

Just something I found on Amazon

[@robertdillon3171]

I was wondering if one should put stabilizer floats to make the boat more stable if you stand up. I've read some reviews on others that when standing up on the Intruder, it may not be that stable. Trying to find stabilizers that would fit this boat.

[@JorgeRodriguez-tu3lm]

What exact grip tape is this from home depot? My son has the same boat amd we want to do the deck flooring just like you did. Thank yoi

[@Bbqhowto]

Yes, just grip tape from Home Depot

[@frugalfun4817]

Any videos with the engine running on the water?

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

Neat setup! Do those seat clamps hold tight? Looks like the bottom of the clamping bar doesn't fit between the seat support ribs.

[@DropsOne206]

The clamps definitely do not fit between the ribs. Saw a guy modify the clamps to fit but on mine I'm using one of the sliding seat brackets riveted to the bench to solve that problem. Gets the added benefit of being able to slide the seat to either side.

[@thomaschandler4831]

Very nice set up

[@zoofkush23]

Dope set up

[@JorgeRodriguez-tu3lm]

What paddle holders are those.? They are very nice! Where can they be purchased? Thanks in advance.

[@thomasm9139]

OK, got the same boat. The seat base clamps out of the box will not fit this boat. As you can see in this video they are not clamped all the way down. However I was able to modify mine by re-bending in a vise with a large combination wrench for leverage.

[@Pitmaster]

Yes rebinding will work!

[@alexanderhua3652]

6hp is pretty good 💯

[@Just_billy42]

Do those seats stay clamped down while you sit in them and fish?

[@MoniKeo]

I bought the exact same motor. Did you add gear oil? I’ve seen others talk about it. The instructions I got were in Chinese.

[@Pitmaster]

Oil is separate if that what you mean.

[@sunshinestatebullies8676]

Where did you get motor?

[@MoniKeo]

Got it from Amazon. I contacted the seller and sent me a Google translated doc. Still not very helpful.

[@robertdillon3171]

Can you please provide a link to where you got those exact seats! Thanks...

[@nckayakbassinlife9342]

How sturdy is the raised seat? Can sit completely on it?

[@tyronebrown9409]

Awesome battleship

[@johndewling9069]

Where did you get those clamps for the seat

[@KMARWASHERE]

Same question I have ,, wish he’d responded with the brand or link to them 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe he’ll see these and help us out

[@yodaslim8509]

hey man when you drilled in the paddle holders did you do anything special? like seal or glue or did you just drill it in? looking to add a dock cleat thanks for the dope vid

[@Pitmaster]

No just used the correct screws and a rubber washer.

[@JTheProducer]

What material is that on the floor that is grey?. I love that look

[@mychalmiller1928]

Agree, I'd like to know what he used for floor grip on the ribs.

[@Pitmaster]

Grip tape from Home Depot

[@DanielHunterUSA]

Is that a 4 stroke engine or 2?

I have the exact same issue with mine. They don’t fit in between the rivets

[@dragonkingdom95]

I'm considering getting this boat but I don't know if it would b good in a small lake I live in Maine and do most of my fishing on little Sebago

[@terrygibson6621]

Exactly for little lakes

[@ridingvenus]

Any links available for your upgrades?

[@chris-zo4ql]

Does this boat need to be registered? Thanks

[@freekinfreak]

Depends on your state. Most states make you register if a motor is on it, gas or electric.

[@duel-tactics-n-gear5604]

Have you taken this out into the bay or salt walter ?

[@Pitmaster]

No, too small

[@burntdog8277]

If you do take it out to the bay you would instantly regret it!!!

[@naseerahmadnisar739]

you did a great job man 😎looks very nice

[@Pitmaster]

Thanks

[@emanxrmd5743]

Cool build man

[@li2us]

The key to all Hangkai 2-strokes is: first fill the lower unit with hypoid oil. Then run the outboard for a minimum of ten hours at variable speeds to break it in. The number one problem with these motors is owners don't bother to break them in properly.

[@openmindedillustrations7106]

This might sound stupid but I wanna do it right, 10 hours in increments? Or 10 hours straight

[@li2us]

@@openmindedillustrations7106 Admittedly, in increments, as standing there for ten hours is way beyond me! The goal is to seat everything and break in the rings, etc. And I never opened it up full throttle for any length of time, because that defeats the purpose of gradually breaking it in. And thanks for asking.

[@RetiredWarriorHUAW]

Nice set up trooper.
