Yamaha 70HP on 15ft Duck Boat Creek Run

[@cwisted5308]

That thing flies! Such a great feeling when you have glass water and you an just let that engine loose. Great job on the boat!

[@tcboutdoors6898]

Thank you!

[@marks4517]

I keep coming back to this video. great run

[@robinelston5966]

Outstanding video, that thing rips! I just love running creeks and bayous, it's just so much more fun than open water. I've got an old Monark 1552 with a 50 Evinrude that I bought new in 1986, it has the original SST 21" prop not great holeshot but a good cruiser and good fuel economy tops out about 38 with a passenger and gear. Spent much of my life running Dorcheat Bayou in N Louisiana, pretty curvy but there are some straights where you can fly. I'll be running the bayou later this week for the first time in nearly 20 years, it is so timely that your video popped up on my feed, it got me excited to see my old haunts. Thanks for posting I really like your rig!

[@tcboutdoors6898]

That is awesome! I hope you enjoy your time out in the bayou! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@jaacksun4674]

God that thing bounces like crazy. I thought people were kidding about these new edges

[@tcboutdoors6898]

Check out the whole video. This motor was not propped correctly for low speeds. Once rpm’s gets up it rides out no hoping. But this is a 2019 low side made before that issue.

[@landonbaker7859]

sorry if this is a dumb question but what is a kick

[@bostucker4325]

@@landonbaker7859 The motor will "kick" up when you hit a log or something under water.

[@cwisted5308]

@@landonbaker7859 The engine will kick up really quick if you hit something in the water. Its very helpful to have one in shallow water. Especially in a place where you are unsure of where shallow logs are. Not a dumb question at all by the way! Sone outboard engines have a "breakaway" as well which means if you hit something underwater that's hard enough to tear off the engine it will only take off the lower half of the entire engine like the propeller. Its to make sure you don't rip off the entire engine and lose it.

[@TheDbrewer31]

I have a question and hoping im at the right place. Was wondering about taking a 20 hp 14 foot, V bottom boat on the manistee river. Ill have a prop guard to protect the prop and lower unit and plan on moving at a safe slower speed. It that possible to take a 3 bladed prop boat in tbe big manistee without creating damage to engine or boat? Thanks in advance!! P.S. boat is an aluminum boat.

[@tcboutdoors6898]

I’m not too familiar with the river up there but rocks and lower units are not good friends. If you are just easing around you should be fine just make sure your motor is set to where it will kick up if you hit something. Also throw a spare aluminum prop or two in the boat. Just in case! If current is rough I would be hesitant in a 14ft but that’s up to the captain!

[@TheDbrewer31]

@tcboutdoors6898 thanks. Appreciate your reply. Yeah, my 20 hp motor never locks in when in forward gear, only when yku go to neutral or reverse does it lock. Will definitely be careful. Again, thank your for your reply!!!

Hell yes. Put a sand bag in front of boat though. Get it smoothed out. That thing rips

I was just trimmed up at the beginning cause it’s shallow! That nose will get up and keep you from getting wet in choppy water 👍

[@MrT13]

@@tcboutdoors6898 oh I’m sure but does it still turn pretty decent? I had a 15” vjohn like a sea ark style with a 50 on it. It didn’t turn all that great. In fact I put it in grass a couple times bouncing off the side of airboat trails. It slid a lot without much up front. Put a 50lb sandbag in front of that front bench and only slowed it down I think 2 miles an hour from 40ish if I remember right but it straight turned on a dime from there on out.

[@DallasGT]

how does that 15ft handle open water with wind more than 10 mph? looking for something about that size.

[@tcboutdoors6898]

It just depends on the lake. On that lake a 10mph wind could sink a bass boat. But it handles waves very well and keeps you dry! I don’t like riding in anything more than about 3 foot swells.

[@beejel9628]

@@tcboutdoors6898 I want to run a shallow river. San Joaquin to be specific it varies in depth but at the shallow parts or small rapids it can get as shallow as 6 inches maybe less so I’m wondering if you’re going fast and know you’re about to scrape or hit the prop on the bottom is it easy to tilt the prop out of the water quickly so it doesn’t get destroyed on the rocks/sand. I’d rather have a traditional outboard but I’ll put a mud motor on if that’s the only way
