SPS Swamp Runner Small Kit Build with a Predator 212cc

[@frankartieta4887]

I like this video. Been thinking of buying one of these for many years One thing I would like to know is if you know is how to remove the main drive shaft from the tube I think the male spline will unscrew from the shaft then the driveshaft will slide out of the tube I think cleaning and greasing may extend the life of the bushings and driveshaft I am not sure I will buy the very best drive tube I do like that you bought the 100 inch shaft instead of the shorter I think the smaller angle will help TNX

[@SRadigFishing]

The male end of the main shaft did unscrew with just my hand. I went ahead and put never seize on its threads just in case I ever want to remove the shaft and clean/lube the bushings. The reason I got the longer shaft was to keep the motor more level to help with the oiling of the engine. The SPS kit seems to be a great one only thing I can say is it needs to be cleaned before assembly because of manufacturing residue left on the parts. I still haven't had a chance to test it out but will make and post a video of that soon. Thanks for watching.

Nice, detailed instructions. Great job. I've been seriously thinking about putting together a rig like yours for the shallow, summertime river nearby.

Excellent video! You got me ready for this journey lol. Did you have to do many modes after testing it? I read about stage 1,2.3 kits. Did you go that route? Thanks for sharing!

[@SRadigFishing]

I still haven't been able to test out the motor, Can't get the boat registered. I am going to make a video when I am able to run the boat, Hope to post soon.

[@jdshear01]

Man I was hoping to see a video of you having it out on the water...I guess you might get one out this spring/summer!

[@SRadigFishing]

Haven't been able to get the hull registered, looking for another. Hope to do an on the water test to post soon!

[@jmcelroy8637]

Fantastic Steve, you did a great job and instructions for anyone that would want to do the same setup. Now go get’m.

[@paulhuval]

Great instructions there. Have you been fishing lately there ?

[@TimeToEatTheBait]

[@paulhuval]

Just installed pred 670 swamp runner on my 1542 ...what should i look for in a battery? Thanks .. I'm excited to get this beast in the farm pond for some testing

[@SRadigFishing]

Not sure, hate to give advise in case it doesn't work out. Thanks for watching.

[@stevepereira8898]

Good detailed video, cant wait to see it in action

[@TimeToEatTheBait]

Hope to try it out this week. Don't have registration for this boat but what the heck?

[@brentsevereid9180]

Nicely produced video. I'm a new subscriber. Once you get the hang of that TLT, I have a feeling that you will be upgrading to a medium or large kit in the future.

[@SRadigFishing]

Your a mind reader, I am already thinking about the medium kit. Only started here because the 212cc motors were on sale. I ordered the A series SS 100 inch shaft which also fit their medium kits. Don't have papers on this hull but will make a few trips anyway. Louisiana makes it almost impossible to register a hull once transferred from person to person without registering at every transfer.

[@brentsevereid9180]

@@SRadigFishing I recommend going with the 459cc on the SPS medium kit instead of the 420cc. Don't think you will be disappointed.

[@peytonfie4953]

Could you drop a link to the kit

[@SRadigFishing]

Couldn't find a direct link , I just Google Search Swamp Runner. They are located in Palmetto Florida. I am going to buy a med. kit soon for a 14 HP motor. I couldn't get the 14/36 hull registered and bought a new 14/48 hull.
