    @@AlexsWorkshopUK really? Can you recommend a boat around that size? I will only be using the boat for small lakes standing up pike fly fishing so it doesn't really matter about speed. It will also only have an electric outboard on it. I am assuming the aluminium floor would be best for what I need?

  • @AlexsWorkshopUK
    @AlexsWorkshopUK2 ай бұрын

    Ah in that case would be absolutely ideal. Aluminium floor makes it a very stable platform to fish from, boat itself is very rugged and well made. I think by the time the floor is put in, tubes pumped up, oars on etc it’s about 2 hours to build. Keep mine moored on dry land with wheels so don’t have to keep setting it up, it’s always ready to hit the water

    When small fish swallow the hook a small disgorger like freshwater anglers use is best for getting the hook out. Much easier and less damaging than pliers or forceps. Not telling you what to do, just mentioning it incase you didn't know about them.

    I like your design Alex. Do you have any concerns that the weight of the motor may be too much for it all to be sitting on the anti-ventilation plate? I wouldn't have thought that plate would have been designed to hold much weight.

  • @AlexsWorkshopUK
    @AlexsWorkshopUK5 ай бұрын

    Hi Chris. I did take this into account as wasn’t sure how much weight it would be able to take..so made the cutout as tight as possible so it’s very snug and a bit of a squeeze when fitting this to the engine ensuring as much weight is evenly distributed. I’ve been meaning to redesign it recently so there’s enough room for the prop to spin and be able to add muffs so the engine can be flushed without having to transfer it to a bigger stand..watch this space

  • @chrismcg7856
    @chrismcg78565 ай бұрын

    Thanks@@AlexsWorkshopUK. I have this same engine. You have your engine supported in the dolly in 2 spots. At the anti-ventilation plate and further up just below the transom mounting brackets. I'm following your design and thought perhaps supporting the engine weight at this top point. Do you have any thoughts on whether this would be a bad idea?

  • @AlexsWorkshopUK
    @AlexsWorkshopUK5 ай бұрын

    @@chrismcg7856 not a bad idea at all, now it’s actually built I can see that having it mounted higher up helps in terms of stability if it’s a bit breezy outside though the downward weight of the engine helps prevent it falling over. These engine cases are very strong so would totally trust having it mounted higher up

  • @chrismcg7856
    @chrismcg78565 ай бұрын

    Thanks. I'll add support up top and see how it goes. I'm looking forward to the end of carrying this engine from point to point and instead being able to roll this around and particularly straight from the back of the car to the back of the boat. Cheers

    After watching this video countless times I finally pull the trigger and got this exhaust. I have to say this is the best sounding exhaust both on power and off power riding the revs. I've had the yoshi RS-3 and its simply just too loud for my taste even with the db reducer, or the spark arrester, or the cat back slip on pipe with the spark arrester. If you want a slighter louder exhaust with out an annoying resonating pop at full throttle, this is the one to get. I'm very thankful for your video. The best sounds in this video can not duplicate the real live sound of this awesome exhaust but it's close. This is the closest sound you get on youtube. Again, awesome video!
