    Hey how's things ? Have the same boat here in Ireland with a 3.5 engine on it ,is that a long shaft engine? And if so could you put a jak plat on it just thinking would it work??

      Huge upgrade! Smooth and wayy more quiet than the ol’ weed whacker engine! I can actually hear my speaker playing music while the motor is at full rpm’s. Plus a full tank(3.3 gallons) lasts the whole weekend of constant use.

    Cool video, i have the same boat and i am getting ready for some big upgrades as Motorguide Xi3 mounted on the front of the boat, some kind of same engine for the back. All work will be presented on my youtube channel.
    The Motorguide Xi3 is comming off from my kayak and i am thinking would be a great fit fir this boat. What is your opinion about this?
