Good fish head with mullet row in it and some good molar road gizzards mullet head and a lot of sarcastic weed seaweed I put with it my stew is the best they say the kid naked no other than Paul Taylor sarcastic weed and mullet head a lot of fish place

Patient that design and start building man!

As a kid i LOVED Mullet gizzards. Unfortunately it's hard to find without baying the fish.

Very nice and well thought out build..... bet she will rooster🤘☠️

I cut down a pontoon boat from 8 x 20 to 6x20 im trying to put a mud motor on it.... I bought a home made used one..... the knuckle was shot so ii replaced it.. well it shake rattles n rolls I figure the angle of the shafts to much so im going to move the angle up and replace the 6ft shaft with a 10 ft shaft,. what do you think?

Nice vidio

Me podrías compartir los planos de la estructura para el' motor?

How about reverse how’s that work for ya

I am on the tail end of building one similar and find that warping had been a bigger issue than I expected, had to cut off and redo 2 welds today on the skag bc of it. Waiting on the bushing material to come in now to complete my build.

Nice build ,looks bad ass ! Thanks🛠

I have some questions for you about the bearings. I am stumped and sure could use some pointers. Like what brand and kind of bearings did you use.

Awesome video and damn awesome music we need more KZfaqrs like you I'm going to build me one the same way you built yours thanks a lot tab thom

Hey Tab, just wondering...why you didnt turn the old transom mount from the outboard around to the inside of the boat...and use the vertical swivel section for part of your mount. Just curious probably a reason im not seeing from the angles of the video. But it looks great. You did a very professional job.

What size shaft did u use and where did u get you bushing ot bearings

Always wanted to build one with a BMW twin motorcycle engine.

I have a couple of questions can you tell me the angle of the prop tube also how long is your axle shaft and axle tube thanks for sharing

Nice build do you offer plans

rest in peace old friend.

I like that Build good job

What size back water prop did you use?

What did you use for bearing or bushings in the drive shaft housing??

interested in buying plans or a material list from you. can pay via PayPal

nice build

What is the total length of the propeller until the engine

Hi I want to know how long the shaft is from the engine to the propeller drive

awesome job!

Tab, my hat is off to you my friend. This was outstanding. Love the design and I will get to work on one just like it. Maybe try it all out of aluminum. Oh and BTW, the Cajun music at the beginning was Killer. Thanks Much.

Do you have any plans

alot of work but very nice job.what do ya think of the swamprunner kit.i was thinking of getting a medium kit and using a 8 hp electric start for my 1236 john what do ya think.S.D.

WHERE DO YA LIKE TO GIG MOST.

It is a good idea, but with the universal joint having such a high angle to operate in, the propeller will not rotate as a" constant velocity joint" and will introduce non constant rotation fatigue on the shaft, so I wonder how long it will last.

Great workmanship. I have always been interested in these motors. What I don't understand is almost all boat have fire extinguishers visible, RIGHT BESIDE THE MOTOR. Is it not best to have the extinguisher as far away from the source of flame as possible? You end up getting burned before you get to use the extinguisher.

good job everyone catch a lot of fish

Great video, you did an awesome job on your set up.. I wanted to build 1 of these 15 years ago but didn't have the knowledge & equipment I've got now. I did get as far as drawing it out on paper, lol.. Only place that had em was mud buddy the kit they sold was pricey, I wanted to build it anyway get more satisfaction & actually learn somethin. Thank you for being decent & sharing w/ us,

Thinking of building one of these... where did you get the tapered shaft for the propeller?

did you use a pipe bender ?

So there were these 2 guys gigging frogs (or mullet, if you like!) from their jon boat. The guy up front sat on the bow with his feet hanging over the front, dangling in the water. He shone his headlight till he saw 2 eyes and gigged right in between em and dropped the frog into his gunny sack. After a while he gigged one and when he pulled it up, there was a water moccasin had grabbed the back end of the frog and was eating it! Well, that feller pondered it all for a moment, then reached back and pulled his Jack Daniel flask out of his pocket and dribbled a few drops into that moccasin's mouth. It spit out the frog, the guy yelled to the driver to get him outa there and soon, they were gigging frogs again, happy as clams. Suddenly the man felt a tug on his pant leg and looked down. There was that water moccasin again with another frog for him - in trade for some more Jack Daniels!

how did you attached the drive to the shaft

A lot of repeat long shot pictures. Would prefer some closeup details. Not shown is how the Thrust is displaced from the prop. Where is the thrust bearing....or is there one?

Hey there Tab. I think I'd go with a CV joint boot, or a rubber boot from a rack and pinion steering setup. You should easily be able to find the perfect size for that u-joint. Plus, it'll be water tight! How do I find more information on plans/parts, etc? By the way, really nice job!

You said, "no generator" do you mean to charge your batteries? There should be a lighting/charging coil on that motor, if it has electric start. If it's AC, all you need to do is build or buy a full wave bridge to convert to DC. It's simple to do, but I would imagine it's read to go. Again, that's if it's electric start. I didn't look for it when I was watching the video.

Awesome! Great job!

how much did it cost to build?

been gigging for about.50 years nights with full moon usally not good. we use airplane landing lights on helmet so you can see shallows in front of the boat and to track the fish.

how much did build cost, can you build me one?

An idea. Could you connect exhaust to the top down pipe with a flex hose, then drill some exit holes at the bottom near water level? That would mega quiet the motor! And since tube is stainless the exhaust gasses will never rust it out...

Excellent layout and construction, as a retired welder and layer-out fitter I enjoyed your work style. Good job!

Nice build. I too would like to know where to get the bearing housing? Thanks

WHER GET THE UJOINT TO CONECT MOTOR TO AXLE?

all of this to gig frogs got to love that
