Hey man I appreciate it...it means a lot coming from you.. been watching your channel for a couple of years... your videos are what gave me the idea...been studying on building a barrel pontoon lol
That is a darn good set-up ! Thanks for sharing it with us.I'm sure there's many that will be doing the same now that they know they can.

I plan to do the same with a 20HP V-Twin. It's always hard to tell in videos, would you say it's as quiet as a regular outboard with the exhaust in the water? I plan to route mine into the water as well. Also, did you need to change your prop to make up for the lower RPM vs a 2stroke? Thanks.

It's about as loud as a older 2 stroke outboard and no I haven't changed the prop it'll do 18 mph but it's a little fast to at idle... been thinking about putting some kind of clutch on it or hooking the governor back up..I don't like how it slams into gear but if i idle it down to low it dies.. maybe one of those electro magnetic clutches some mowers use to engage the blades I think I got one on a old cub cadet or a centrifugal one..may be something you can study on while building yours and thanks for the view and comment
Very cool! Please add a kill switch with a lanyard and wear you PFD also.

Great tips, I need to do that to mine too. A lot easier to do before you fall out of the boat.
do you have to have a title and tags for that motor?

Naw I only need it for the boat and it's full registered...thanks watching and commenting
I’m not sure polluting the water with burnt exhaust petrol fumes is a smart idea , you might not have to catch the fish , they just might float to the top dead anyway in the end. Fish need originated water not polluted water , definitely not a fan of your muffler system , I’d change that.

Thanks I appreciate your view and comment....I don't think it puts out near as much pollution as the original 2 stroke did putting gas and oil in the water but two wrongs don't make a right 😁
How fast does it run
