Suzuki 2.5hp with intex excursion 5

Got my intex excursion 5 with my 2.5 hp motor with a modified intex motor mount

[@markweatherall7437]

Hey bro, noticed your other video of you trolling with a 12v motor, it was so much more peaceful & quiet. Which one did you prefer 12v or gas?

[@jayt.4183]

Dope af

[@martingsilva]

yes. Much better but still tilt down, has to figure something out.

[@JiggyC]

motor weight about 30 lbs so pretty light for a 4 stroke motor.

[@hgibson4409]

what size tubing and do you know how much the motor weighs thanks

[@jaypalmerittas4607]

Thanks for sharing. Now, tell me if a Coleman 2.5HP motor it's cheaper what made you buy a Suzuky instead. I'd like to know if you know anything about Coleman motors.

[@JiggyC]

Jay Palmerittas Coleman is more of a camping brand. they make tents,lanterns, sleeping bags etc. Suzuki is known for their motorcycles and cars. So who would u trust more in making an engine? a camping company or an car/motorcycle company? Also with my research the Coleman motor was actually more expensive. got my motor for $775 shipped to me..

[@jaypalmerittas4607]

You're right. Just wanted to hear your opinion. Of course Suzuky has a long history and makes planes too. Coleman probably has theirs made in China by some unknown company

[@mgate01]

whats the bungee cord for?

[@Markakis861]

You still have the motor or you lost it?

[@Mattinthehat67]

Try adjusting motor trim.

[@danielmurphy3277]

Imagine 1 person on board; hard floor installed, 3hp yamaha 2 stroke properly installed on intex excursion 5 maximum speed would probably be like 20mph haha

[@frugalfun4817]

What body of water is that?

[@JBetoRodrigues]

Hi mate. In 2 years you surely have a good opinion about this motor. I think going to buy a used (2007) and would like if you can give me your thoughts. Is it Good? Reliable ? Thanks in advance. Cheers

[@JiggyC]

I would definitely recommend this motor. It's been dependable for me. just make sure the maintenance has been done on it.

[@JBetoRodrigues]

Thank you. Going to tell you little story. Told was going to buy a 2007. Went, paid it and bring it home! ...next day when cleaning it I see the clamps where it goes on transom....one side been welded. It broke sometime, I don't know how ! What I know is I took it back and got my money back. Sad. Paid already another one 2014 with warranty until August 2017. Papers of Suzuki revisions done. I hope is ok . I wanted the 2007 because does not have Fuel pump..the 2014 has. More stuff can give more problems...I like it basic. I hope is good buy. Cheers. Have good time Jiggy

[@RanmaP]

What's the shaft length on your model? I understand they have a 15" and a 20". I have the same Intex Excursion 5 and would like to do the same setup.

[@JiggyC]

Phi Ngo it's a 15"

[@RanmaP]

Jiggy C. Thank you for your reply.

[@evan2290]

@@JiggyC would you have preferred the 20? Just bought a mariner 4 and debating between the suzuki 2.5 and a 55lb thrust electric troller? Thoughts?

[@mrtechie6810]

Thanks! You write Excursion, but you say Mariner. Which is it?

[@JiggyC]

Excursion

[@maximolotov]

15 mph ?

[@akitmano]

Did you put hard floor to your boat? it is might help.

[@JiggyC]

I did it won't help on keeping the motor up though.. motor mounts pressure is all on the boat tubes.

[@akitmano]

+Jiggy C. can you go for full throttle.

[@JiggyC]

+akitmano half at the most with that setup.

[@mshahriarinia]

Is hardwood floor mandatory for this or you can get away without?

[@JiggyC]

No u can do it with the stock floor.

[@mshahriarinia]

A 4 stroke 2.5hp is more than double the price of a 2 stroke 2.5hp. Do the benefits justify it for occasional non-heavy user?

[@JiggyC]

Morteza Shahriari Nia nah go with the 2 stroke..

[@mshahriarinia]

Jiggy's Outdoors thanks brother

[@excursion5642]

Hi. Were you able to measure the speed you achieved during 1/2 throttle? Was it faster than with your 86lbs motor?

[@JiggyC]

excursion 5 couldn't go half throttle with it.. at the most 1/4.. maybe just 2-3 mph..

[@JulioHernandez-ys8fx]

Do you use regular gas ???

[@JiggyC]

Julio Hernandez use non ethanol gas with these little outboard. Google has stations that sell it in your area.

[@JiggyC]

1/2 inch conduit tubes. more details in this video.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oarbkIKQqtmtiNE

[@hgibson4409]

Thanks!

[@rainerneumeister5239]

The motor is too heavy for that boat.

[@rubycrystal1499]

How much is it
