1 like 38 with the 50 honda 2 peeps 36 3 peeps 30 or so dont run 3 alot but it does not affect the performance that significantly just dont have 3 obese grown men

60 - 70 would be a nice set up. I love the boat and the but the craftmanship shows in the price tag. This isn't a maverick or any other comparable luxury skiff. It gets the job done but does not stay "pretty" in my opinnion the glasswork is subpar in areas with the new owners since Tom Mitzlaf sold the company. If you get it new try and ask for the push pole mounts to be the above mount not sub. The rear one exposes the foam under the cap. If you look at some of my old videos I made a point above this issue. Not a wet ride at all very dry. I did also have an issue with my poling platform being set to far back I argued with the dealer and they couldn't believe their eyes when I showed the proof and they never would fix it even after I showed them and Mitzi themselves did not assist or help out in any way. The issue didn't let me turn the motor one way, the problem will go away if I get a jack plate or hydraluic steering over the cable steering...also another video I have if you look. No "regrets" buying it but I did wish I found those discrepancies first or just saved and found a used older maverick or even a older sub 2010 mitzi model when Tom owned the company.

this lake is rated for under 10

thats wild they charge monthly to have that Im in florida I just couldnt install it myself per my electrical company they had to install it but they do not charge a fee monthly. I just had to pay a one time $100 install fee which took the guy 2 mins.

thanks! hopefully it was enough additional info

the stealth is prob better

Hi John! thank you for your service, most people do put a 115 on these makos the weight for both motors are the same now its typically just the computer chip setting is the difference for modern motors. I believe I got about 35-37 when it was trimmed right with the 90 with 2 people 3 people it was more like 32. Them older makos are heavier. There are a few older models that had more storage I would suggest trying to find one of those styles or if someone rehauled it. But if you want a project boat they sure are cool and fun to fix up. I did not end up keeping mine because I ended up getting a mitizi skiff and did not want to put the money into a new motor.

exactly spot on, I wanted a cheap alternative to not spend on a Generac but use my switches and run my well water

@ Update since then. I sold my Honda EU6500 and bought one of the new 10500 watt tri fuel generators to run the unit with natural gas. The sale put $1000 back in my pocket after buying the new genny and allows me to run the generator now at dirt cheap pricing.....36 cents an hour versus $5 an hour for gasoline

@ hell yeah brother!

but its there if you need it!

yeah, my 5500 watt (8000 starting) generator runs it no problem. Most wells I think need starting watts of 3000 or so lights and stuff is like nothing and my fridge doesn't generate as much either so it runs it all fine. The well only draws power when you use the water too so its not like its a major draw of power for long. Takes my tank to fill up in less than 20 seconds?

@@SpearingWithSlurpey have you tried turning everything off and flipping the breaker for the AC? I think it will work!

@@michaeljones4388 Yeah I tried it won't work being 30 amps and the AC is a total of 40. The load limit light turns on on the generlink as well so it just won't allow it. If I had the 40 amp version it would have worked for sure.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey , if its a central AC unit, then its possible if you have a Soft Start Installed

@@Gralldila I have thought about that idea

yea just check with your utility company mine advertised it. Been around a few years, honestly the best option if you don't want to re route all of your breaker switches for a generator switch.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey Also the need for a separate generator socket and the wiring for that. You're using the building mains, it's whatever you can provide.

@@keyboarderror1 If I did it the old school generator switch on the pannel the electrician was going to have to put the plug on the side of my master bedroom meaning the generator would be loud as hell and since my meter is on the opposite side of the house you don't hear the generator.

Mini splits are the future of home HVAC. That's why the contractors hate them and try to charge $8k to install a $600 unit. It's the end of their business as they know it.

thats what I did is use my wall outlet with a window unit

now thats a steal of an option! I am prior military so I ordered it from home depot with 10% off and it was about $1150.

Just get a cheap generator plug and interlock installed by any licensed electrician can do it without a permit.

did you call your utility company?

@@Mike-01234 I tried that route didn't like the electrician's fees to do it and then it was going to be on my master bedroom side of the house...I don't have attic space to get to the other side and the other side has the meter so it was an easy choice to decide to go this route and have the generator on the opposite side.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey Yes, they’re the ones that said no.

Im not sure who's wife you're referring to my wife knows what's important to have on and what's not. We can run the entire house besides AC, Heat and stove, none are necessary to have on. Everything else is turn on as needed if you're not in a room turn off the light? When do you run everything on at the same time even when you have power? In terms of the things we can't run because its a 30amp unit "We" hardly use the stove we use our black stone outside and during these storm outages we put a window unit in the window so no need for AC and we are in Florida I never use the heat. If my wife wants hot water I can turn it on no problem with the unit and well at the same time... This is better than having chords everywhich way and better than not having anything at all so I am not sure what you're negative about. I got this so I can run my well pump and beable to have water still anything additional is a bonus.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey The generator won't be fried under any conditions caused by the Gemerlink. The unit will only allow a maximum of 30 or 40 amps 240Volts at which time it will overload and shut off until the thermal fuse cools down. Also likely the Generator you have has a shut off switch at a certain electrical draw point.

@ exactly the guy just above your comment is just some keyboard warrior searching for a product but complains when he finds one.

Interlock device is the cheapest goes right on your main service panel. DIY it for less then $100 but need to know somethings about electrical. I bet could get one installed for $300.

@@Mike-01234 I got quoted $1200 from one electrician and about$1000 from another for the $200 parts...thats why I went with generlink Id rather give a company business thats making life simple instead of overcharging labor. Took 2 mins for my utility guy to come out and plug it in, the first minute was taking it out of the box.

Somebody bought a tiny generator!!!

Don't need one if you know what you're doing.👍

@@briangilkeson591 I am great with 12v automotive. 110/220 is not my bag. I DO NOT know what I'm doing. 🤘

My genset is appropriately sized, as in, I can pull 30 amps from both legs.. Sorry you're broke.

@@ProjectMadness Who is broke?

Storage was one thing I didn't like the rear pods weren't true dry storage and they didn't fit everything I needed the front storage compartment as well wasn't dry so it really felt pointless. There was no live well situation for fishing and I wanted to move to a center console design. I planned when I bought to maybe add that later on with Gatortail how I built it was in the plan but the next issue was the motor I started seeing some salt age and rust forming in areas I wasn't comfortable with keeping long term. I was thinking of selling the motor and going outboard since I started really diving more than duck hunting. Duck hunting in my area is all 10hp motor restrictions so I really couldn't use it in areas I wanted anymore. I started distancing myself from the mud motor life in general and wanted a more shallow water skiff and fish quietly. The motor noise was annoying long distance travels or even in slow areas its just a nuisance. The hull I do though still miss I loved the drop deck for diving and ease to get in and out of the boat. I also love trying things and going to new ideas and seeing other hulls and trying new possibilities.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey yeah I'm on the fence myself. I want to fish super back country I've been a guide in Jacksonville for 27 yrs and am sick of our rivers current and all the commercial traffic here. Sold my 26' all welded pacific northwest built aluminum boat today of 18 yrs. So, its aluminum or nothing for me.You're really suppose to keep up on any rust or corrosion on the motor with lots of TLC. I'm so sick of outboards also, constant issues so I don't see many differing issues. Just a different routine. They all suck! Saw your Mitzi. They started here in Jax. Met Tom Mitzlaff the originator at a gas station yrs ago when he first came out with the first Mitzi. I'm looking at a lot of used Prodigy's really, a step up from a gator tail.

safest in my area, avoids all cars

@@jamesparker6903 can’t really test it out without a power outage since it’s at the meter, you leave your main breaker on and when one is out the other supersedes it. But I have a 5500 watt generator - 9000 initial surge

I just made a new video showing how it in use from the hurricane

@@SpearingWithSlurpey You can hook up your generator to the Generlink when you have power, my electric company Lee Country Electric Cooperative told me when they installed it to test it twice a year to make sure it is working properly, They suggest testing 3 months before the start of hurricane season so if there is a problem you can notify them and they can get out to take care of it before you need it from a storm.

@@mustangecoboosthpp3869 thats nice to know

@@mcplgugo Florida, and yeah my power company came out and installed it for me just check with yours and see if they will allow it

​@@SpearingWithSlurpeyDo you have Duke energy?

@@FT86TT No I am on Talquin but Talquin and Duke share the same grid in my area to my understanding. Least thats what we get told everytime we loose power, DUKE has to fix their end first before Talquin and get power back.

I honestly couldn't tell you I dont have this tank anymore If I have any old videos of the light I would check there in regards to the build of the tank.

Subed back, thanks for the review yeah the vegetation has been pretty bad the past 2 years or so theyve been changing the rules on parking at the ramp so I think the boat traffic is changing dramatically and not cutting down the hydrilla as much.

If you watched the video I stopped after 10 seconds of take off and put it on, then the next shot is of my dad with him using wearing it as well. Trust me I had it on just not in the first 10 seconds...

@SpearingWithSlurpey I did notice, well done sir

Transom saver? no the boat is rated for a 70 this is a honda 50. Tilt up the correct height and thats it. The waves slapping your transom are 10x harder than whatever happens while you are trailering it in my opinion. I trailer it 30 mins to the coast thats how far I trailer.

It was hardcore, people were swimming on top of me and some neighbors near me and some cussing matches at times lol then the current people didn't know how to swim...Watched a guy swim way out past the buoy and a kayak had to chase him down. I hope the full isn't as rough as the half was in november!

It turns out after reading the right voltage 12.9 volts and not turning the engine I went and bought a $200 Harley Davidson battery and it fired up and still has had no problems.It had lost its Cold Cranking Amps due to faster aging I believe since I have to park it covered in 105 degree weather everyday not having a garage at my apartments.

Yea might also need a true battery charger too to bring the battery back to life something like 15amps or so. If not yea the battery is probably old.

awesome! glad I could assist yeah I had to do it twice...spend money on an actual nice replacement don't buy some cheaper alterative model regulator.

yeah no problem! In the end its a great skiff for the money if you can find a good deal. Personally I would like one of Tom Mitzlaffs hulls if I could go back and find a older hull before he sold the company to Chawk.

@@SpearingWithSlurpey what was the last year To, ,are them?

Last year Tom made them?

yeah its not a tournament model just the standard 17 I got it at the Jacksonville boat show I believe it was 27k . The differences are literally only a different center console with an additional live well and a internal 13 gal gas tank. I just have a 6 gal gas red removal gas tank....andddd thats literally it....We like having a blow up Bote chair where the additional live well would be and I like having a large cooler for spearfishing so that upgrade is meaningless to me. The interal gas tank I hear also has alot of problems with getting the gas down the line Due to venting issues from what I've seen so I wasn't interesting in that model after hearing that case. Tourny model just sounded like a money grab to me honestly. Other issues I really have only came across with the boat is the fiberglass quality there have been quite of few chipping spots because they didn't edge properly and there have been bubble spots (invisible) meaning a pocket of air developed during the glass process and a slight bump causes a crack. I 've had to patch more than I wanted as time has passed but again its impossible to discover until it happens I am sure it happens all the time with other companies...just annoying with a new boat.

not really but if the chop is coming from the side any boat isnt dry in this realm of boats its a skiff not even mavericks are dry

yeah the workmanship isn't high quality once tom mitzlaff sold the company from what it seems comparing old models to the newer hulls. its great for the price point like a maverick new is 70-80k and this was 27k...so the differences are going to be dramatic. But its great for what I use it for I can hit everything I want even offshore when winds are cooperating.

yea I would buy it again its just an amazon model helps with the heat when the wifes on the boat

huh?

:)

yes I can but I am 5'10 so any taller I would the front is angled down slightly how I have it to at least run some what on plane without taking it down
