Hi "Lost Hour Productions set up perfect... the only default your long tail is .... "WAY" too long is supposed to have 1/3 of the boat max .... EX: for a 16 feet boat long tail +/-5 feet max (more 4ft1/2 than 5) that's why you have to push to get your propeller down in the water and you have no "speed" on your boat in shallow water... try it and see (experience from Thailand, making long tail boats for 6 years)
I was wondering where you were from, until I saw the aagard shirt. Then I was 100% sure you were from the tundra when I saw the sweater. Awesome work man!
May be a silly question but hows the motor stay cool? Dont pressure washers require water to keep from overheating? Or can they air cool to for a short period of time?
The only thing purchased for the frame were the C-clamps, everything else was just laying around the garage. That is kind of the point of a build like this, just being creative and coming up with a solution. Example: I had three different ideas for the pivot on the bottom, one being a u-joint I had laying around. I cut it apart and was almost done mocking it up when I realized it wasn’t going to work. The most fun part of trying to build something from nothing is the satisfaction that you came up with the solution!
I welded nuts to the side so I could replace them as they go out. I use this motor every duck season and anticipate replacing the bearings every 3-5 years because of the amount of water they are exposed to.
That stupid case when there is a lot of metal trash lying around in the garage and a longtail motor is molded, there are simpler, easier and more rational solutions...👎

Hey thanks! Will trim er down and give it a shot!
Awesome to see it go from concept to reality!
Thanks!!!
Such a cool project!
Only thing I would add is a long tail clutch kit but that is solid !
Awesome job brother!
Terbaik kawan 😊

Sweet video!!!
Thanks!
Awesome work Sir thank you!! LOLOL " I hit it with my Weiner" hilarious!!
Great job man would love to be near you so I could get your plans .I am trying to make one to
What coupling did you use to attach the shaft to the engine? How did you make it to stay together?
More!
Nice how much hp you think it gots
what's the top speed on that motor? also can you provide a link for the prop?
that signpost weighs a ton im sure
Can we get a parts list?

They are air cooled so no problem running for any amount of time.
Where did you buy the couplers?
Amazon, once you know the shaft size just look up couplers there.
Could you give me the material list for the bracket?

How does the bearings holds on the post? They is bolt but the bearing mount are larger?
I welded nuts to the side so I could replace them as they go out. I use this motor every duck season and anticipate replacing the bearings every 3-5 years because of the amount of water they are exposed to.
It’s me again! How did you fit the propeller ? I try to figure it out !
Old timer approvals
Try to take the governor off the motor
Do you ever have problems with weeds getting wrapped in the shaft?
And bearings?
I did but then I welded a larger shaft around the bottom portion of the shaft in the water so the weeds just slide off!
@@LostHourProductions could I get a picture of it? Working on one myself right now!
I think your prop is backwards
I don't see any chainsaws on that thing. What gives?
Lol! Maybe the next build will have more chainsaws! Hmmmm chainsaw operated tooth brush?!?!🧐
