Good review looking for similar boat. Will run electric trolling for explore sheltered water ways in silence and maybe 2hp as backup. Bit advice. Tie the motor clamps together with bit cord so they don't work loose and safety rope for motor attached to transom. Rope won't stop it coming off and being drowned but at least you will still have.
Cheers mate, yeh have used this little setup on a few trips now, has been a Pinky slaying machine in Shark Bay ha.. I worked out how to get it on the plane, it's just because it's so short, shoots the nose in the air, but with just me top speed 14.5knots 👌 will definitely make up a clip to attach it to the transom.. cheers 🍻
Certainly did mate in the last cpl of vids got it up on the plane, its a bit of a mission to do it but figured it out, top speed at shark bay was 14.5knots.. humm ding'nn ha.. caught some good fish as well in shark bay 👌
Hey mate, yeh since I done this video I worked out how to get it on the plane, bloody thing is like a go cart on water 😅 top speed is around 14.6knots, had to get 1 of those hydrofoil plates to put on the motor, because the boat is so short the battle was getting the nose to come down, still can't get myself and the wife on the plane though,

How are you finding the boat quality wise.
So far so good with the boat itself 👍
You should be gettig way more than 4.4 knòts. I can get 6 knots with a 2 hp suzuki.

@@blissniques 14.6 knots is fast. Brilliant. 🙂
Try changing the prop to one with 1 or 2 inch less pitch @@blissniques
Yeh I've chatted to ozprepellors, they reckon they've got 1 to help fix that
