I’ve been researching these little motors trying to buy one The last couple of days and no one ever post videos anymore of them and so just now you posted this and it was like great there’s another video it was awesome thanks for sharing😂
I honestly love mine. I’ve got a 6.5 mud motor and this 4hp 4stroke and I prefer this thing way more than all of the batteries and trolling motors. That little motor starts up every time. I think it’s crazy how well such this cheap motor runs.
I have this same motor and what a game changer... trolling motor will get 3mph maybe 4 but you got a short life span with a battery. When i got the gas motor it moves faster and as long as you got gas you can go further and get there quicker. Best investment I ever got for my 8ft bass buster. Great video...
No water cooling. Quiet. So light you can walk around with it. It idles all day. 1 pull starting. Don't forget the lower end gear oil. Break the 2 cycle habit and never look back. I'm happy with mine.
Ordered one today! Watched every video on every China 4-stroke UA-cam has to offer, and your boat and needs and water are very similar to mine. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It helped a lot in deciding which to get. I got the "upgraded" version with the crappy swivel handle. How is it doing nowadays?
I’m looking for a small motor like this for a crawdad boat I just purchased. I only see the 2.3hp on Amazon. Any chance you can link the page for your purchase and how much weight do you think it was between you and the kids?
That is a pelican bass raider i got this one at academy. They are similar to a sun dolphin and are under $1000 just about anywhere you find em. These are by far the best plastic small boats over the pond prowler or the sun dolphin.
Good show, old chap. I shall purchase this royal machine to attach to my water limousine. I am sure it will carry the weight of me and my butler, Collingsworth.
That motor has lasted so many trips and sips on gas and puts out great horsepower for its size. I fished a river a couple times and got wrapped up in grasss and the clutch started slipping a little bit. They sell the clutch for $50 on Amazon so it is well worth it
Seems like a nice motor. Surely a light lighter than my 4 HP Evinrude from yesteryear. And priced in my budget too. It did seem a little loud though but that would be expected. Did it heat up or get hot after running for a while? Also see there is an electric model, would that one be just as good?
You know it sounds louder on the video than what I originally thought it would be. It sips on fuel, and doesn’t get that hot at all. I seen the electric model and I’ll have to get one to give a try but this motor for what it is and the amount of weight for electric is the way to go for me. I hope that helps bud
Only ~0.1/0.2mph drop and with an additional 100lbs of kids? If you're alone and don't carry much gear, you could probably put a higher pitch prop on it and easily hit 5mph or more.
Good to know. If you’d ever be interested in fishing this stretch of the Guadalupe and interested in guiding an ol fella I’d gladly pay for your guide service. I’ve never fished for a Guadalupe Bass.
3:33 funny how Chris originally says he used to copy David tricks trying to be as good as him and better him, them gets all hypocritically butthurt saying sarcastically" he's borrowed some of my acts"..... I can't stand ppl like this that within 2 minutes basically admit he for David then David copied him yet gets mad when it happens to him but other way around it's ok. Bro is just mad cause he isn't as relevant as David is. But I mean come in Chris your pretty freaking successful get over it man like you said the beef was like 20 years ago grow up and move on. Take your own advice your trying to insincerely give David, y'all are adults with kids , get over it
I have the powermat 580 5.8hp outboard motor 2 stroke it put my 13ft vhull boat at 5/6mph max speed n run time 30 mins per tank 1100ml fule tank i got mine from amazon in uk for £250 i use my boat n motor on river clyde scotland vids on my youtube 🚣👍
@@TBassFactory iv had my powermat 580 for 5 years the only thing to happen to my motor is it broke off its transon fiting by metal shear that lead to motor ripping apart n sank my seahawk2 motor diy fixed it still runs need to see if it will be ok of summer boating for 2024 pics on my channle wall 🚣👍

@@TBassFactory Thanks for the reply i’m thinking about getting one🤘😂
It's impossible to start when the engine is warm?

When i got the gas motor it moves faster and as long as you got gas you can go further and get there quicker. Best investment I ever got for my 8ft bass buster. Great video...
Yes! We think exactly the same. It was a game changer on mine too and it sips the gas.
How far will a full tank of gas go in miles? I have roughly the same set up as you

Yep you labeled off all of the great things I love about that motor too! It’s a good one.
Which one is it??
@@steveenczi8967 Tomking TK144FC on gomaxind doot coom
Theoretically would that make the boat go faster ?
Imma buy me one and use it for a trolling motor on my 16foot
You should do 2 of them side by side!!!! I bet people would live to see that!
That’s a great idea bud!
@@TBassFactory
I'll be waiting to see!
Haha the reason I'm looking at this video is because I want to mount 2 of them behind an old catamaran sailing boat
I really like your attitude about motors.keep em coming.i got a kayak...and a little motor...and... and....
Yeah I got a lot of stuff ha but I love motors and messing with them. Thanks bud!
I love this little motor!
In Canada, just the price for a 100Ah marine battery is 50 to 100 dollars more expensive than a 3.6hp Hangkai 2 stroke.
Geez that’s crazy!
Sme batess are $50 too $100 cheaper
I have this motor in a jet powered. It works great on a trashy river , it just raises itself over submerged logs.
Yes! Now that’s a setup Roger!
Small jets best shalowater draft
Hey the tiller handle is flips/rotates around 180 degrees so u can control the motor in reverse easier
Didn’t think of that. Thanks bud
If you turn the handle 180 degrees is it posible to reverse?
That’s how I back up but you gotta make sure you have the depth set right or prop will hit undersode

That motor still humming along. Thats awesome bud I think you will Love it!
I’m looking for a small motor like this for a crawdad boat I just purchased. I only see the 2.3hp on Amazon. Any chance you can link the page for your purchase and how much weight do you think it was between you and the kids?
What length is the motor shaft....Thanks
It’s right around a 2 ft shaft.
That's cool!
Thanks bud!
I think I have the same one but why doesn't the propeller spin
It has a centrifugal clutch and only spins when more rpms are given
What's your range on the gas ? How heavy do you think everything was at ?
Maybe 25 lbs, about 10 miles
It looks like a sun dolphin boat But ive never seen that model. What is it?
That is a pelican bass raider i got this one at academy. They are similar to a sun dolphin and are under $1000 just about anywhere you find em. These are by far the best plastic small boats over the pond prowler or the sun dolphin.

Do you ever fish the Guadalupe down in the Victoria area?
I go a little past seguin but I don’t
Get down that south but I’m sure there’s some good fishing in there
Tejas
Does it have a Reverse?
No reverse only drive
That's awesome thank you for the video
Your welcome James!
How has this held up? Thank you
That motor has lasted so many trips and sips on gas and puts out great horsepower for its size. I fished a river a couple times and got wrapped up in grasss and the clutch started slipping a little bit. They sell the clutch for $50 on Amazon so it is well worth it
I have the same motor. Its nice for small lakes
Yes it is
Awesome video . Great info... Thanks!
Your welcome bud! Thanks!
nice, what app were you using for the speed on the phone?
There’s so many of them. GPS speed I think was that one. The one I have now is just called speedometer
thanks@@TBassFactory
How long does the full tank last?
A long time. I’ve gone miles and it sips on gas. I take a backup with gas but haven’t needed it yet and go all day on my bass raider.
Do you use mixed gas or regular?
Regular 87 octane
now that is rad, like totally
Ha, I’m loving that motor Shawn! Thanks bud
@@TBassFactory
You're welcome
What’s the make and model
I have the same motor down in the description but I want to say it’s huangkai

4 hp eltric
And quiet. Have to put ear lugs in, when running my 1.2 HP. It's that loud.
Yep
Just regular gas, no mixing?
Yes just regular pump gas
Only ~0.1/0.2mph drop and with an additional 100lbs of kids? If you're alone and don't carry much gear, you could probably put a higher pitch prop on it and easily hit 5mph or more.
Yep probably for sure
@@TBassFactory - you hearted your own comment 🤣
You just gained a new subscriber 👍
Bkat not efedt biy wight unless jad veh I celse
You know you’re not about to go fast if you lay your iPhone on the side of the boat before taking off :-)
It’s only 4 horse power bro…. Lol
Update on the motor?
That thing is still going, can’t believe how dependable it is
Next test the 50£ one from (ali express)has to be the cheapest out their.....
I gotta do that. Thanks chris
I've put mine on a kayak. 😂
Just 5w -30 and regular 89 fuel for it ?
Yep pretty much. It’s basically a small gas engine just like a lawn mower.
Ya no need to break the bank 🏧
Good to know. If you’d ever be interested in fishing this stretch of the Guadalupe and interested in guiding an ol fella I’d gladly pay for your guide service. I’ve never fished for a Guadalupe Bass.
I’ll definitely think about it! Thanks bud!
GPS speed is meaningless unless you compensate for wind and current.
I recommend taking the average of upstream and downstream runs.
Yep you sure can
Good price but it's a little loud.
Yep and sips gas
Remove the governor on it and you’ll double your speed!
If u look to ur right u will see a guy swimming and passing you
not bad, as fast as me in a kayak.
🤥
Ha yep, thank ya bud

HULL Speed , that's it .....
Yep that’s it! Thanks bud!
Pretty sure it's a 2 stroke think you put regular fuel no oil lol😂
Dude breath! lol
Ha I’m trying I’m just Soooooooooo Excited!
A WEED EATER--R I G H T ???
One seat no trolling motor no battery. And no way it hit 4 mph
a 2.5 HP MERCURY OR YAMAHA WOULD PUSH THIS BOAT faster--s o r r y.
JUNK COMPLETE JUNk beware beware
