Swamp runner with 212 predator engine 1232 jon + bonus fish

First river test on my jon boat setup (part 1). 1232 jon paired with the SPS swamp runner kit, powered by a harbor freight predator 212 engine with a 6 1/4" prop. I look angry but the sun was in my eyes, if only I had sunglasses lol

I really like the part of you cruising in the boat. Very peaceful. Looking forward to seeing some cooking? Keep the videos coming Trav! Great work!!

Life jacket, watch for debris and tree limbs in river at those speeds ! Great video as always !!

I have the same size boat, currently with a new, 6 HP Suzuki Outboard which I do enjoy, but I'm also looking to get a mud motor for the shallower and more isolated creeks and waterways. Thanks for the video. I was most impressed to see that you seemed perfectly capable of sitting while running along. That is pretty important to me.

[@Travis-FNG]

No problem. You should most definitely get one. Best purchase of my life so far.

[@Travis-FNG]

Let me know if you have any questions about them!

Great music great views keep the long tail content coming man! Great job!

[@noway57]

How much that motor weigh by itself? How much The whole setup cost? I got a 6hp yamaha 4 stroke on my 1236 that does 8-9mph with 2 ppl. I need better speed. Ever had 2 on that? Mph if so

[@gnikmi]

how did you rig this to go on the water?

[@sistaslab3159]

Awesome video

[@MudMotorsMax]

Great video man! I subscribed and added you to the fellow Longtail playlist . Keep them coming! What’s your speed down river by the way?

[@Travis-FNG]

Thanks buddy! I beleive I was achieving 19mph

[@brian_onthewater]

What was your top speed? U ever gps it? Thinking about this setup for a couple rivers I drag my outboard on. I'm 1236 but semi v. Had this set up over 20yrs

[@Travis-FNG]

GPS'd at 19 mph down stream with a very light load. In a 12×36 semi-v I would expect 15-16 mph. I love this setup so much. Very nimble and can go anywhere

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Great video, I just picked up a project 1232 that needs some TLC. I plan to put that exact motor on there. If you don’t mind me asking, about how much do you weigh and are you pleased with the performance? Anything you would change or do different? I’ve got a river that looks identical to that and its really shallow in places with rocks. Thanks !

[@Travis-FNG]

I am about 170. I'm very pleased with the performance still. I've taken that boat all over the place at this point. I ended up upgrading the size of my propeller, which helped the takeoff speed and top speed noticeably. The setup is perfect for a solo fisherman. If your riding two people, don't expect to carry much gear. As long as you keep the load light, this is a very fun and capable rig.

[@Travis-FNG]

Thanks for watching, and good luck on your build!

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Picked up the motor yesterday. Used stock 212cc on a Mud Skipper kit with 3 blade 7", curious to see how it performs @@Travis-FNG

[@turneynicholas]

What brand of reel is that

[@Travis-FNG]

Sougayilang 6400. Cheap to replace but haven't had to yet. Good reels imo

[@denzky23]

What is the legal in your area? Fishing. With 3 rod together in the water?

[@Travis-FNG]

Yes, 3 rods in the water at once

[@Bamaoutdoors]

Nice setup! How do you like the rubber mats?

[@Travis-FNG]

Thanks man! The mats are great, good traction, and they make the floor feel more sturdy.

[@nickhoaglandfishing217]

Nice 👍

[@Travis-FNG]

Thanks man, 1 year later and I still love that setup!

[@timhudson1846]

Good video

[@Travis-FNG]

Thaks buddy!

[@christianousa9193]

Motor is all stock? No upgrades?

[@Travis-FNG]

This was all stock, but with a 7 and 1/2" prop

[@yudiwahyudin6644]

Motor consumption per hour @ full throttle?

[@Travis-FNG]

I'm getting an estimated 10 miles to the gallon upstream
