I saw the nose hopping up and down, put some weight up front to even the distribution out. I had this issue with my boat and adding a battery up front helped
Hi there. I'm thinking about putting a Mudskipper on my 10' jon boat, but does the shaft need to be long as heck? Do they make a shorter shaft? Thanks.
My 250lb arse couldn’t stand up in that boat much less with my 65 lb daughter. I have predators and old school B&S flatheads and I dig your research but I’d need a bigger boat
Agreed 10ft jon boats are best as solo rigs and smaller people. You would really like a 12ft vhull or 14ft flatbottom with a 420cc or duromax 18hp XP18HPE. 212cc or 7hp class motors are really only good for solo builds as well. 301cc to 420cc are so much better for two people.
@@azlongtales I have raced dirt karts in the past and still have access to a lot of different motors cheap even alcohol motors but want a long tail with a 12 ft or 14 foot deep and wide I have a fire breathing V twin looking for a home but I want it reliable so who knows what’s gonna happen
Watching this video again because I feel like putting a 212cc engine on my kayak today.

Top irmão muito bom
You did a great job.
Bro where did you get the handle I want a longer handle for mine. Please and thanks.
It was custom made handle @yumatrd but mudskipper makes nice fixed and Foldable ones about that length and height
Great video as always! How can I get ahold of you?

85 inches will be optimal shaft length for a 10ft. That was just a speed shaft for max speed not necessary handling
@@azlongtales Ok, thanks!
Do speed shafts mount directly to 5-7 mud skipper longtail kit, with just swap of shafts? Or is new PTO needed?
Yes they are a direct replacement for your current shaft
do you know what the difference between their regular shaft and their high speed shaft is?
thank you for the reply Do you think 440cc would be to heavy? Any idea the weight of that motor?
I think you could float a 440cc 18hp no problem on 12ft but it will be double the hp rating. The longtail combo 18hp 440cc should be a about 135lbs
Depending the size of the boat you are only legally a 7hp max because of weight issues.
Custom tiller handle?
Davids kustom "3D" handle allows the engine to be as far back as possible to the rear of the boat
12ft 32 wide
is that a 12ft boat?
10ft
yes On a 12 foot

VTwinS will do just fine on a vhull they Handle transom weight well
