Glad to see some content on the ole boat! That build is the perfect cat rig. How has that predator held up without billet rods ? I wanna use a performance 670 governor bracket to get my stock mud motor up in the 4300 rpm range but I’m not sure if valves will float 🤔. Your opinion ?
So far it's holding up good. Been running it around 4500rpms pretty constantly. I did the heavier valve springs when I ported the heads so I have not had any valve float issues. I plan on doing the performance 670 cam and rods at some point in the future to see what kind of increase in performance I can get. But so far it has been a really good engine.
I thinking how difficult those rivets seem to be - and then you said they were stainless - that makes sense!
I was riding the struggle bus trying to get those rivets in, then I realized they were stainless, duh me!!!! Only took 2 months for my finger to heal.
Cant wait to see all the other videos you are coming out with!!! Hope to learn some stuff!!
Thank you, Look forward to pumping out some more videos soon and sharing some of the things I learned.
Good to see you back brother!!!
Glad to be back, and thanks for watching.

That electrical tape bandage 😂 this medic approves. I can never work on #sonoranmudcat without hurting myself.
Ha ha... bro, my finger was jacked up for months after that. Luckily I filmed that earlier this year.
G'day awesome video and my strong hand got me 😂😂😂😂
LoL. Hey Murph, glad you liked the strong hand... even though it was a painful had for a few mo the after I cracked my nail in half
@SendItJonBoats I know the pain I almost lost my hand a year ago. So I know how painful nails can be
It was not a fun experience, but it finally healed a few months later.
Blood and tears! LOL. Not just me.
This boat has been responsible for more injuries than any boat before. I'm wearing a lot of scars from this boat lol.
Ha ha, you thought it was going to be easy. That was the first fuck up!
Bwwahhaa... when it comes to boat builds it never is easy.
You are more of a man than me. I would just get a 25$ air rivet gun from harbor freight
Man I'm glad you brought that up. I have been meaning to get one of those and I keep forgetting about it. Thanks for reminding me.
@LIKE #14!!! 😊😊😊
#14? What I miss, or did I have too much haterade today?
Thanks man I’m building 1432 took hints from you making a Flathead boat looking at mud skipper twister xl comments?
I havent used a twister yet but I am going too at some point, I see a lot of mixed reviews but my buddies over at AZ Longtails love the twister.
There I was thinking, look at him doing pop rivets like a man, then boom back to a girl. Ill give you 1/2 a man point. But good video 😂
Dude, I had to edit out the tears and 27 minutes of screaming.... it hurted my mangina! LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you got a laugh, thanks for watching.
