I like your efficiency of the space you use in your boat, your anchor pole is ingenius, great idea and design, I also have the same Briggs and Stratton Outboard motor, reliable and efficient little outboard, great job .
I’ve had a 1436 alumacraft for about a year now, reinforced transom with some 6061 and a lot of marine 5200 to put a 15 horse on it. Now I’ve gotta borrow some ideas from your video cause that’s a sweet little set up, bet it’s great for setting trotlines
My 1436 will run 30 mph. So you should get at least that speed. Make sure the transom is reinforced to be rated to handle whatever outboard you put on it.
There's more to a chainsaw than cutting performance. The peripheral systems like the bar oiler, chain brake, and air filtration are also important, and I think Stihl has Husqvarna beat in these areas, at least at the price level being tested here. The Husky's cut well and cold start easily, but Stihl's are better designed in the peripheral areas. The older the saws are, the better the Stihl will perform relative to the Husky.
That was a fabulous comparison. About as fair of a test as anyone could do. Those pro saws are impressive. Didn't realize there would be so much difference in how they perform vs the ranch saws.
They don't , it's only the construction for durability and lighter weight, the CC performance is relatively similar. Biggest difference is going to be how sharp the chain is and if the saw is properly tuned.
What a crock of shit. There is a night and day difference between a pro level saw and a box store saw. My Stihl 462 (70cc) saw will work circles around my 460 (60cc) husky at a fraction of the weight. The Stihl cuts like it has three times the power. I love my husky and it’s a great backup but apples to oranges. No different than a Husky xp lineup against a homeowner Stihl. 462 costs 1400 and the husky is 500$ at tractor supply. You mean to tell me I am paying all that extra money for nothing? I can put a 32 inch bar on my 462 and sink it in red oak and it will eat and hardly bog down. The 460 can’t even handle that 24 inch bar. Runs good with a 20inch though.
I just bought a 10 foot and saw your idea with the foam as supports...... How did that hold up for you in the 10 years? I'm looking to add buoyancy as my boat was made before foam in the seats was a practice so i have no bouyancy at all in this boat. Thanks
id just exchange it for a 12 foot, so much bigger...or get a 10 foot wide edition.. if ur doing all this stuff and these boats are this cheap might aswell start on the right size.
does work amazing.... powerful to make wake upstream and downstream... two friends on a 14 Sundolphin Scout Elite canoe. Quick assembly, very solid construction. A great buy.
I just put 2 half round 1 inch brackets or pipe hangers on corner of transom and then i use a piece of 3/4 steel pipe 8 foot long and drop in pkace on my 15ft startcraft works great just like a pole shallow water anchor
455 has a 300 hour compliance rated engine like a pro saw... the Stihl does not... speaks to the quality and rings/compression lasting over time... 455 is the lighter and more nimble feeling saw as well.. The echo timber wolf is also a great option...
I have a stihl and a husqvarna the stihl air filter plugs up so fast and it loses power because of it, I can't stand it, and plan on trading it on another husqvarna. It's clear you held the husqvarna back at one point lol
That's crazy. I have a 14x40 jon boat with a 9.9 and was getting 22mph.. I've added deck and more weight and get about 17mph now. With an extra person like 13mph. Looking at getting a 25 hp
I have a Mariner 30 too and I realized my carb wasn’t opening up all the way. You can adjust the throttle linkage to open up all the way. I now get around 28 Mph on my 14 foot Jon boat empty.
Save you time and trouble. The trouble part both saws are expensive and Husqvarna speaking through experience is a nightmare. I bought a 460 Rancher about seven years ago and used it for about a total of maybe hour between repairs. Paid retail over $500 and the minute the warranty ran out another $500 times two in repairs not counting trips to the repair shop. To this day have worn out three cheap wal-mart specials and no repairs to be done. The Huskie sits collecting dust. I would be embarassed to even give it to someone.
