Just stumbled upon your video and really enjoyed it. I used to have a Jon Boat growing up in Florida and now that I'm back, I want another one! I used to see those long tailed motors running up and down the canals of Bangkok, Thailand back in the 1970's but they used engines out of Toyotas; I never knew they caught on here. Great job!
I have that motor motor on a Mud Skipper Twister and really like it on my 1436 Lone Star. I know that you have a surface drive now and I wanted a surface drive but can't afford it. The Twister has a shorter shaft and I have almost the same angle as a surface drive, which is very close to an outboard. People worry about that flexible shaft and they send a spare with it, which kind of made me worry. But I've throttled the hell out of it with no problems, so far. I grease it every time I load it on my trailer though and I got rid of that three bladed prop before I even mounted it on the boat. I need to pop over to the video about your surface drive and ask where you bought the kit from. I love my little mud boat and do all of my fishing from it. Oh, I used Gator Glide on mine too. That stuff is amazing!
Tip if you want wood to last in a boat???? coat it with epoxy resin a few times. It will do 2 things. Absorb the epoxy making the wood more structural and water proof. . Your wood will last a crazy long time.
Dude that boat is amazing ! Great job with the restoration man. Question what is the brand name of that boat and where could I find one like that? I love what you did with the speakers and everything man. Thanks for any advice
How many batteries are you using to power the LED light bar and speakers? I'm in the middle of building my boat and not sure on battery for a stereo/speaker and trolling motor
Could you please tell me what light bar you used? It looks like you just drilled straight through the bow rail and it'd help to know what length it is even.
hey man was their foam where you cut out for all the stuff to go? i have foam in mine but i wanna cut out the middle and put hinges and boards like you did to have places to put everything
Front had foam other two already cut when I got it, it should have foam if it was to sink but that was t enough foam to hold it so I have a rope an buoy incase it did sink I can find it.
Is that a 1436? Just curious cause I’m looking to buy one and I’m scared a 36 wont be wide enough. Also what size long tail was on it? I know it has a surface drive now but curious about the old one
No need to waste a rocker panel switch for a stereo that already has its own power switch. Wire it straight to power and run a inline fuse for protection. Good work btw. I built my own Jon boat as well.
With those predator motors man they can’t be turned on there side long. Oil will come threw the valve cover vent tube and leak into the carb. I’ve had a go devil crawfish model that’s done this multiple times.
When you pour out of a jug. Turn the jug 180 degrees and pour out of the side. You will have better control and won’t have the glue glug glug thing going on and it won’t splash splash splash. Also add a small painting pole to your roller then you can roll with two hands and your wrists won’t hurt. Try it you’ll like it! I’m redoing an old Lowe deep “V” Thanks for the lesson’ I subscribed and liked
@@c50ge the problem is why are you commenting to start with? He’s a grown man he knows what he’s doing. It’s not your place to correct a grown man or even tell him what to do.
@@OutdoorswithFloridaSmokin the reason I commented is because someone taught me another way to do something and was sharing with others, not just with the author of the video. There was no nefarious or degrading comment made . I probably did a poor job of explaining it but thought it might be helpful. If it would make you feel better I will gladly remove my comments. I apologize if me comments were taken in a way I did not intend, had nothing to do with me judging his maturity.
