@@TheDuke539 aahh . That was my second guess. Awesome catch;sorry you lost it. I've been wanting to go out fishing. Glad you're getting out there and enjoying it
I installed a billet connecting rod and flywheel, flat top piston, 26lb valve springs, ported the stock head, a 275 lift cam, thin head gasket, vm22 carb and exhaust.
@@manuelve1998The rod and flywheel are for safety, but yes, $200 in parts gave a 50% boost in top speed. What you don’t see in this video is how much easier the boat gets on plane, or cruising with partial throttle where a stage 1 engine required full throttle to stay on plane.
I just bought one of these kits. I have read that you have to drill and tap the 2 blade props to fit but no one ever tells what size bit and tap they used. Could you provide that information?
the most ive yet too get,, so far, stage 2 ish' gx200l cone, tried ALLL prop sizes and type, was 19.. The 7" seem too best all around for a mild built clone 200/212. gonna try the PD24 carb next.. then if not, get a ducar 236? or tilly', and mild cam, see if i can get up too like 20 hp.. (I GOT A pd26 CARB, BUT i didn't put it on yet, because i was told it will be nothin but issues, but im gona try it anyway... that thing is moving!! 17mph on a 14ft, heck, like i said im getting 18-19, on a 10 ft.. guess i gotta do some more motor.. and or bigger more buitt 212 vs my 196/200 clone i put parts on.. awesome videos man.. keepm comin.
I agree on the 7" being the best all around size. I gain a couple mph with the 7.5 but it doesn't like pushing the boat at idle speeds. Is be interested in hearing how you like that carb. I'm running a vm22 clone and am happy so far. Thanks! Something like that 236 would rip.
watc, i put twister clone in my decription and some guy like made a uge deal about it.. even though i bougt like 300# in props and parts from them lol... all because it was from amazon even though it is literally exact same thing as"theres" except like 3-2 lill things.. liol
is that a 3/4" shaft snowblower motor? 13hp? lol i was debating that.. or building the 212/clone// but i built my clone 212 and its pretty good for now..
That was a 6 HP Briggs 205cc(?). It did okay, struggled to get on plane and ran 11-12mph. Nothing like your modified gx200 clone or my 212. Both the intake and exhaust ports were tiny, and no one makes parts to upgrade. Managed to fit a vm22 and free flowing exhaust, but only helped so much.
i did same, except no rod .. i can get 19mph, with 2blade 7" peop// on the "shorttail" and its only on a 10ft.... Im goin for a true longtail, only because they get the propback furter behind the boat wake, and can get more top speed..
I just bought two of these used from a guy on marketplace. I got a 10ft jon boat and needed an outboard, but I'm broke so i offered the guy $40 and he took it. I've been digging into them for the last month and i did get both running, but I'm not impressed. One very interesting thing is that although these are marketed as a 3.5 or 3.6hp, one of the motors i got has decals that say 2.2hp, which is much more believable. The Chinese companies are just lying to sell more of these. Anyway it and every time i start these something breaks. The pull start alone(which was brand new) has broken in the different ways. It's ridiculous. And yes, these are stupid loud for how small they are, and they vibrate more than any engine I've owned. If i paid $200+ for one I'd be super pissed. Good vid though, i can't wait to get my boat out on Beaver Lake, assuming the AGFC let's me register it. It's from 1964 and doesn't have a HIN. They're supposed to be able to issue those, but the lady on the phone told me i needed the old registration. Pretty sure she's wrong but good luck arguing with govt employees.
@@TheDuke539 I did take my boat out on its maiden voyage. Took my nephews fishing on Beaver Lake. Even with three of us(about 360lbs) and our gear the little motor pushed the boat better than I expected. It got me wondering what kind of performance I could get out of it, and after doing research I found out this engine is a Mitsubishi TL52 clone. They are usually used on string trimmers and tillers in air-cooled form, but interestingly they are also used on some Goped style scooters. And there are performance parts. One guy got his little scooter going 48mph with this engine. So now I know how to get replacement parts, and that there is some performance potential. But one other interesting detail is that it looks like this engine uses a common clutch and 4 bolt pattern, so it might be possible to easily swap a better engine(like a Goped GSR) onto the lower unit
Man i hate it when folk bring speakers to nature but if you're trying to fish in the middle of nowhere theni guess you ain't hurting nobody but yourself. You do you
It did come with a twist throttle and cable like the gear shifter on a mountain bike. I replaced that with a mechanical mtb brake lever and a throttle cable for the vm22 from Amazon.
Prop size does make a difference in speed. My top speed with a 6.5" prop is 12 mph, 7" is 15mph and 7.5 is 17 mph. Engine power/maximum rpm is a big factor too. If your engine is still stock I'd upgrade to "stage 1" and bypass/delete the governor (high flow air filter, exhaust, rejet) that will give you 2-3 extra HP. Redbeard's garage has a 'road to horsepower' play list that shows, on a dyno, how modifications affect power on these little engines.
I'd guess somewhere in the 13-14 mph range with a 7" 2 blade prop if you plan on bypassing the governor. My 1448 ran 13 with a stage 1 briggs. However the intake and exhaust runners on the predator head flow better than the briggs.
@@TheDuke539 thanks, you’re the first person that I’ve talked to that says ill get any kind of speed out of a 212 on a 1648. I know it’ll be underpowered but I just want to get out on the water
@@lolwhataim2391No problem at all. As I understand it width has a much larger effect on drag/speed than length does. Between the extra hull displacement and flat bottom it should be able to run real shallow.
