They sell kits for that and I was unlucky enough to find a 4cm piece of fence wire that lodged itself in my left calf muscle needless to say it required a pretty invasive surgery to remove I still have problems walking almost two years later I do have to say tho nothing cuts saplings better except maybe brush hog on a tractor
@Franz Rupert yes, but only with chainsaw chaps and another adult present incase of injury aka one to get help or to stop bleeding but that really just goes with any machinery
I did this about 8 years ago with a stihl weed eater and it worked damn good! Except I only used one mounted to the transom and the prop was perfectly centered and balanced
This was the man who introduced me to the word “ spank bank “ at the tender age of 9 😂 I’m 18 now but loved watching your old Skyrim videos. Hope your doing well man.
reminds me of when a friend of mine thought he could outrun a pedal-powered kayak by making a 3d printed propeller. he never actually made one but this is how i imagine it would've went
I have done this and it can work but you need to cut down the prop to get the engine rpm up. I ended up buying a small aluminum prop after I figured out the right size. Really moves a kayak along pretty fast
i made one 10 years ago , used a old battery drill connected to wiper snipper shaft with a real prop for water . it worked flawlessly and still works . use it with canoe was faster than paddling
I used a flat tine little rototiller blade off of a little cheesey two stroke. Bending the tines EQUALLY IN SMALL INCREMENTS until I found the sweet spot. Its effective as a prop for trolling. Oh and my weed eater is a Straight Shaft with an elbow at the end and I just flipped it over and packed it with Marine Grease. I flipped the adjustable handle over and attached it to an oar lock that I attached to the back of the boat.
Man I hope you guys never stop making videos. I been here since you guys filled up your house with fog and played hide-and-seek lol with lightsabers and lasers lol👍
I did this over 15 yrs ago and I made mine work two ways one in water with a clutched weed wackers and the other green machine into an airboat motor for my canoe
Been using old weed eaters to propelled my canoe for years...I'm talking decades. They don't last long. A season or two at most. But it's a game changer for remote camping areas.
I’m planning on turning my 12ft Jon boat into a hydrofoil in the spring and was toying with the idea of using 2 weed eaters for propulsion 😂 they would probably perform better with an optimized propeller, but I’ll probably go with my second idea using a 6.5hp predator 212
Another great video fellas, thanks for the years of content! I do sort of wish you'd respond to some comments though, feels like the fans would like a pinch of interaction. Also, can we get the band back together!? I miss Johnny !!!
Don’t let it suck water up the shaft….. that’s very important thing to remember. I believe that if we can truly grasp this principle, it will be life changing in our pursuit to become better as a person.
I did this as a teenager with great results . Idk I must have gotten lucky and it rotated the right way. But I also rotated the motor so the curve pointed back and not down .
Try a Long Boat configuration with a gimbal bracket on the transom. Extend a handle over the motor and use a prop with some pitch on it!, trimmer rpm is lower than a trolling motor. Expect no more than 5 mph.
Uhm, excuse me, sir and/or madam, what is this ad? I need my episodes of Rayconman and the Tangler. JK. Lol. Anyways, I'm huge fan. You guys could sit on the porch for 10 minutes and I'd watch it.
5:34 you guys could have put them at the rear of the boat like an actual longtail propeller. It would have gone alot better. 😂🤣 I still got a good laugh out of the video tho
A propeller with sharper blade angles would be my guess as to what went wrong. Oh and if you drilled a hole half way up the shaft that will keep it from sucking up water in the shaft. Just a little food for thought.😂
Weed wackers have a centrifugal clutch like a mini bike or go kart. That smoke was from a really hot clutch getting wet. Lock up that clutch and you'll have better success with your gas powered paddles
One of the old Canadian PBS “Red Green” show episodes mentions, but did not show, a outboard-powered toboggan. The series was a spoof on home improvement shows, featuring projects like converting a full size 1971 Ford station wagon into a trash compactor.
I hope we get to see the limo finished and the tree house finished those where the best videos cause it was a way more legit thing but still funny and scuffed in the best ways
Need a smaller propeller prop and it will work great... The one's your using are to big for the engine. Think of it like this if you put monster truck tires on a Honda Civic it's not going to make enough power to move them like you want. Right? But the right size tire will.
It seems like everyone has a different name for these things. I, a New Zealander call it a Weed Whacker, I know a lot of Aussies call them Whipper Snippers, and of course you guys call them Weed Eaters.
Valiant effort. The weak link is the reduction gearing in the head. If you eliminated that and used a smaller, higher speed propeller you would succeed in the tail dragger mode. Propeller from above with zero reduction 90 degree from an angle grinder gear (zero reduction) for a side thruster (powered paddle). Live hartily in your energetic youth. You will never lose these times and you will never reproduce the energy and effort you are doing after you are 39 (arbitrary non-substantial figure) I am always thankful. Full Stop. I am always thankful that I endeavored to excell in my twenties because, from my sixties, I see I would never push as hard as I did then. Only downside is: Now I hate myself for not forging forward with satisfying force. If I never tried anything, I would probably be happy to have never achieved anything. (unrelated) If it jumps when you kick it, it is not a dead horse.
See, it's funny this gets recommended to me, because I have a weed eater engine/shaft still work, but the head broke, and my plan is to make it into a boat motor...
But can I cut grass with a boat engine attached to a weed eater? Wait what would be faster that or a lawn motor with a super charger? Id love to see who builds a better tool to cut grass lol
About fifty years ago I supercharged a Briggs & Stratton flathead engine with one of those air injection pumps made for reducing tailpipe emissions from automobiles. That still wasn’t the hottest go-kart I ever had, though. That would have been the one with the air cooled VW Beetle engine!

How in the hell did reice gain the ability to somehow look even more inbred over the years?
could tell from the 8:01 runtime that this would be a quality and functional invention
I love it!
I don't know how the guys whose entire video premise is always horrible ideas with horrible execution do so well but I hope they never stop.
You misspelled “Great” ideas
Shittuber as I call them but its still content lol
this is actually a great Idea..... just the execution is bad.
Called redneck ingenuity my friend 😂
Came out 20 seconds ago, but it's another ODS classic.
Couldn't have said it better than that bro
Congrats on coming out
Litterly
Well that’s gay🤣
I love how the drill press is always in the shots of them hand drilling
8 minute runtime on an engineering project, I'm sure this is fantastic
Next you should attach a circular saw blade to a weed eater and see if it would be a good power tool for those hard to reach cuts ✂️
They sell kits for that and I was unlucky enough to find a 4cm piece of fence wire that lodged itself in my left calf muscle needless to say it required a pretty invasive surgery to remove I still have problems walking almost two years later I do have to say tho nothing cuts saplings better except maybe brush hog on a tractor
use that at work for little trees lol
@@wesbrackmanthercenthusiast4695 soooo.. all in all you would recommend it and do it again?
@Franz Rupert yes, but only with chainsaw chaps and another adult present incase of injury aka one to get help or to stop bleeding but that really just goes with any machinery
@OfficialDuckStudios yes that's the one lol
I did this about 8 years ago with a stihl weed eater and it worked damn good! Except I only used one mounted to the transom and the prop was perfectly centered and balanced
Can I beat Halo before ODS finishes the tree house?

He your spank bank?

A fellow Texan, just made it through the week long state wide closure. Glad to see you guys the same time the sun comes back
MAN the rain tore us up. i was omw home from work today and i saw damn 5 acres of land underwater, i hope dem cows can swim
I have done this and it can work but you need to cut down the prop to get the engine rpm up. I ended up buying a small aluminum prop after I figured out the right size. Really moves a kayak along pretty fast
Love you guys glad to see you pushing strong.
I’m gonna build a house on that boat launch so I can watch ods live and steal their amazing invention ideas and sell them to the navy
i made one 10 years ago , used a old battery drill connected to wiper snipper shaft with a real prop for water . it worked flawlessly and still works . use it with canoe was faster than paddling
You guys crack me up. What wholesome content. Entertaining. Thumps up.
Waiting on that tree house to carry on
Treehouse burned down
Always a good day when we get a new ODS vid. Now stream more often.
Good old Boat Video, nothing beats that
Love Tyler’s Arthur Morgan jacket
I’ve actually done this before. It’s pretty awesome. Definitely recommend.
I used a flat tine little rototiller blade off of a little cheesey two stroke.
Bending the tines EQUALLY IN SMALL INCREMENTS until I found the sweet spot.
Its effective as a prop for trolling. Oh and my weed eater is a Straight Shaft with an elbow at the end and I just flipped it over and packed it with Marine Grease. I flipped the adjustable handle over and attached it to an oar lock that I attached to the back of the boat.
Man I hope you guys never stop making videos. I been here since you guys filled up your house with fog and played hide-and-seek lol with lightsabers and lasers lol👍
Put a propeller on an angle grinder and use that as a motor
Well, it was worth a try. Glad you tested it. Better luck next time!
Solid video thanks i will also try this idea out !
It got up to 5F today where i live. The morning was -11 with windchills in the -20’s. 35 doesnt sound too bad lol
I did this over 15 yrs ago and I made mine work two ways one in water with a clutched weed wackers and the other green machine into an airboat motor for my canoe

I’ve always had this idea glad to see someone finally did it, and it wasn’t me lol!!!
Hell yeah ODS is the best
I've seen this done before on a surf board, west marine used to sell a direct fit prop for a weed eater
Very stoic beard my friend ,its com along way
Man, got me all excited. Then I get to the end and it’s full of disappointment 😂
I’m planning on turning my 12ft Jon boat into a hydrofoil in the spring and was toying with the idea of using 2 weed eaters for propulsion 😂 they would probably perform better with an optimized propeller, but I’ll probably go with my second idea using a 6.5hp predator 212
I think you'll need a bit more power than 6.5hp
Love you guys!!! ❤
Another great video fellas, thanks for the years of content! I do sort of wish you'd respond to some comments though, feels like the fans would like a pinch of interaction. Also, can we get the band back together!? I miss Johnny !!!
Was he the mexican?
YES FINALLY A NEW VIDEO!!!!
I was 14 when I built one of those and it worked after a lot of work. But I used it for a kayak
another amazing idea
Don’t let it suck water up the shaft….. that’s very important thing to remember. I believe that if we can truly grasp this principle, it will be life changing in our pursuit to become better as a person.
yessssssssss i love the boat stuff
on a calm pond I bet this would work like a trolling motor. You are literally fighting the wind, even if you were paddling it would suck.
New ods video but this feels like the classics
When you're out of ideas but have a boat and a bunch of random stuff.... solid 10/10
the nova scotia shout out thankss tyler 😀
I did this as a teenager with great results . Idk I must have gotten lucky and it rotated the right way. But I also rotated the motor so the curve pointed back and not down .
You guys are legends

I love this channel
4 stroke Ryobi gas so good ❤ hard to find now i think I'd have to online order all they got now is battery packs
BOATS BOATS BOATS. I don't know why you guys chose the winter, but thanks for the video!
Remember, really attractive people buy the merch!
Yayy it took 6 years for yall to finally read our comments and take an idea
6 seconds ago was the fastes youtube ahs ever given me a video
Uhm, excuse me, sir and/or madam, what is this ad? I need my episodes of Rayconman and the Tangler. JK. Lol. Anyways, I'm huge fan. You guys could sit on the porch for 10 minutes and I'd watch it.

“The moment you’ve all been skipping to” 🤣
5:34 you guys could have put them at the rear of the boat like an actual longtail propeller. It would have gone alot better.
😂🤣 I still got a good laugh out of the video tho
At 4:20 you can see what looks like Reece’s old car painted black
I'm just jealous you got a Maverick. They are like unicorns.

yessssss yessss spend 24 hours on this boat yesssss
I love offical boat studios
You look like a Gmod character in the thumbnail hah
Great vid idea! maybe worth revisiting with some revised equipment/?

That’s brilliant yeah I thought me on that one
I just watched the turkey dryer video and now I must know how many heat guns it takes to cook a whole pig
Me laughing in a shack in the woods where it’s -30 right now wishing it were 37 degrees
I wonder if you could modify a chainsaw into a paddle type boat accelerator.
Going back to boat videos i see 😂
Here's an idea. Can an electric marine outboard be used to trim grass 🤔

Ayo, has anyone noticed how much muscle Reese has gained?!?!? God damn man you looking fit as shit!!
And Tyler's beard looks fantastic, from back then to now these two look amazing
I hope we get to see the limo finished and the tree house finished those where the best videos cause it was a way more legit thing but still funny and scuffed in the best ways
if you can hear joey, you know it's gonna be a dangerou.. i mean amazing video
i love you guys
It does work get an original weed eater that has the curved shaft it works well just be mindful that the gas cap will leak
May I make a suggestion?
Rowboat with wheels, see how far you can get before either of you pass out
I saw a guy using a boat with a weedwacker motor on a canoe trip near the delaware water gap
Need a smaller propeller prop and it will work great... The one's your using are to big for the engine. Think of it like this if you put monster truck tires on a Honda Civic it's not going to make enough power to move them like you want. Right? But the right size tire will.
It seems like everyone has a different name for these things. I, a New Zealander call it a Weed Whacker, I know a lot of Aussies call them Whipper Snippers, and of course you guys call them Weed Eaters.
Valiant effort.
The weak link is the reduction gearing in the head.
If you eliminated that and used a smaller, higher speed propeller you would succeed in the tail dragger mode.
Propeller from above with zero reduction 90 degree from an angle grinder gear (zero reduction) for a side thruster (powered paddle).
Live hartily in your energetic youth.

I am always thankful that I endeavored to excell in my twenties because, from my sixties, I see I would never push as hard as I did then.
Only downside is: Now I hate myself for not forging forward with satisfying force.
