- 25 hp on a 20' SeaCraft Deep Vee Hull?! In this Part 1 video I introduce Project Pottcake, my custom 20' center console turned tiller skiff boat. I test a 25 hp yamaha tiller to see just how well a full size boat can do with just a little power! Stay tuned for part 2 where we take our build madness to a whole new level!! Enjoy and thanks for watching!
1970 Potter SeaCraft Hull
2003 Yamaha 25hp 2 stroke outboard
That is the best hull design ever
I’d have to agree, for its size and use, it’s a crusher snd the best riding 20’ in its class 👊🏼. Cheers!
5 hours late but the no. 1 fan is here. Fully torqued!!!!!
haha yes Rishi! So stoked you're here!!!
At the end of your video, when you said wait for what's coming next time and then panned your camera to the boat, and I saw those 3 engines. I saw what you had set up, and I was like OH CR&$!!!
Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work. Can't wait till you begin the inside.
Haha, glad you enjoyed and yes… a project Pottcake update is coming up in the future!! I think you’ll dig it!
Great meeting you tonight. Enjoy the channel and builds!
Dude! same here, Absolutely made my day Josh! i Look forward to seeing you around and your C Hawk! Shoot me some photos so I know what boat to look for out on the water! forrest.stunts@yahoo.com cheers!
I love that hull
make me feel pretty good about hanging a 40 HP four stroke on an 18' x 6' skiff
What a sweet setup! Looks super roomy for a skiff 🙌🏼 and “Potcake” I love it!!
Thank you! It's definitely got more room then we're used to! Haha Cheers!
In 1973, My dad bought a brand new 20’ center console SeaCraft with a 135 Evinrude for 6,000.00 got airborne in it a few times
Haha, that sounds amazing haha. I'd be lying if I told you I haven't lauched this boat a time or two with the 70hp on it! Cheers to old school Michael!

Potcake, they are so cute! Perfect name for boat with an identity crisis :-)
haha, love it and so true! cheers!
I had an 18ft wooden skiff a heavy oldtimer with a 25hp Johnson (70s model I think) it was a great boat a tad slower than that but we fished way out in the islands through rough seas whatever, it was reliable and economical and always got us home with a load of fish you don't need a gazillion horses to make a boat great.
So true and well said John! Simplicity is key! And haha, a gazillion hp is also pretty expensive! 😂
@@diywaterworld would love a video on the tiller conversion please
@@diywaterworld was out on my buddies Yamaha 242 yesterday, its something like 500hp i think. It's fun but heavy and twin motors eat up twice the fuel. I dont have a boat right now but man I'd be OK on something lighter with 1/8 the horsepower. Watching you makes me think I could smoke him from a hole shot with a homemade boat and under 50hp. But the ladies will all be piling on his boat because ya know it's nice and looks new and it's comfy. I think I just made a deal for a jet ski, idk we'll see how it works out.
I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience
Entire package seems about PERFECT for a crabbing boat that I need!
Scratch that! I'm liking the open pontoon boat behind it instead!
Hahaha, right?!?! Too many cool boats out there! Thanks for sharing / liking the boats!

You're learning a lot about boat design. Can't wait to see more. 😍
I'm a big fan of "underpowered" boats. If a 25 horse motor will push that boat to 20 mph, that means it won't cost you a mortgage payment to cruise all weekend.
A-freaking-men Mark! That's the name of the game!! Cheers to affordable boating!
"Millennials don't know about two stroke oil." says the guy that previously lost his motor because it wasn't bolted on...LMFAO
i guess i had that coming! hahah although in my defense, it's more of, i didn't check it before running... does that seem less of a f&*% up? cheers
The weight makes the difference. Thats about as light as a SeaCraft can get. Fun video!
One word, young man:
Foils.
:D
Keep up the good work!
Kurt, on 'Skippy', the '73 Cricket
(14'Lx36"W/Yam 9.9hp/26mph)
Kurt... I love the idea and would definitely consider... hmmm. And wow, those numbers are outstanding! Whats the weight of your setup? Is there somewhere I can see photos/vid? Cheers
Love the tiller conversion ,do a video on the how and what parts please
Cheers to the great idea for a future video! Thanks for sharing!
That's what I've been up. To .I love it.
The ultimate panga boat. You don't need a lot of superstructure to make it a great boat. Put a 40 on it.
Thanks Juan! I couldnt agree more! Wait till you see the next vid! 70 hp!! cheers!
@@diywaterworld awesome man did you ever put out the next video I want to see that thing with the 70 I love the tillers

Talk about overpowered. Just the other day I saw about a 22 foot pontoon boat with 200 horses swinging off the back!
Ideally you wanna a motor that’s gonna run in the high RPMs. Overpowering a boat leads you to spend a majority of your time in the lower RPMs which is bad for the motor. Too much carbon buildup. Marine motors need to run hot in the higher RPM range on a regular basis to live long and happy lives.
@@hidel308 .... And could actually imagine keeping revs up with a 200 on a pontoon?
SERIOUSLY?! Haha, that's crazy! it's gotten out of control. we recently spotted an aluminum pontoon (25 ft give or take) with big TWINS on back. guessing 200's or 250's. what in the hell?! haha. to each their own!
@@hidel308 so true! way worse fuel economy as well!
@@Mike-gw9yt i can see it now... kids: "Dad why do you pull us on the tube at 50mph?!" Cheers!
My new favorite channel. One question ...... Are yoiu in the boat industry???
I LOVE potcake - - - I never would have guessed it.
I misssed the speed I guessed 15 in to the wind / 17 with the wind. Glad I was wrong,
Now I know what I am dropping to on my Lund 18 foot Deep-V.
Good bye to the up keep and fuel economy of a Merc 85
good guesses David! And right on! would love to see how it does! Propping it correctly will play a big part too! cheers!

Put two 25 hp outboards! Would be unique
Haha yes! Watch the very end of the vid.. preview for PART 2! Actually put triples on it! HAHA cheers motomax!

Love the videos. Such cool projects.
Thanks so much! We've got a couple lined up! And just wait until Part 2 of Project Pottcake!! Cheers!
Incredible man
Thank you Jake! Much appreciated!
New sub! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for the comment and heck yes on the sub! Glad to have you join us! Cheers!
Love the creativity and stoke! Were you on some Parlay Revival episodes?
Haha YES! Colin and Jaimie are the best! 🤙🏼 I hopped on episode 96 , building a big mold to repair one of the Catamarans. Then a couple after that. Such great guys And amazing channel! Cheers!
I would run a 3 cylinder 2 stroke Yamie 50hp with a nice deck and Jack plate and man she would be a sick little flats ripper. Only reason I say do a 50hp is because once u put some gear in their with two people you will be playing ring around the Rosie just to get it up on plane
So right! and i agree, that would be a slick/fun setup! I currently run a 70 hp 2 stroke... definitely way more power then needed! Propped for load/ still tops out at 38 mph! Make sure to checkout the next video to see it! Cheers !

Hi bro love video I'm building 10ft flat bottom plywood boat first boat what size outboard do you reckon to use only for harbour fishing in Auckland new Zealand
Donde consigo un bote igual amigos, muy bonito bote saludos desde Panamá un abrazo 😁
stoked
Cheers! So are we! 🤙🏼
Looks fun I want out my 40 on a shamrock hull
Heck yes!! Sounds like a cool build!! 💪🏼

That triple setup might just make really fast circles.
Only one way to know for sure.... checkout the next vid! 😜 Really though, it DEFINITELY does not turn easy! haha Cheers!
Most boats (and their HP) are a compensation of sorts, if you know what I mean and I think you do. What is needed to get the job done (fishing) is very different from what looks like it's "badazz". Limit your impact and love Mother Ocean.
I found a Fibercraft 14 for sale up in GA for $150. Was that built down in the Keys for the flats?
Imagine if that was flat water. 🤔 I bet you’d get 27-29 mph. 🤙
Right?! Pretty darn close, it receding out with that prop pretty easy too. Maybe a 1” more pitch / newer prop , flat water and just one guy.... I bet you’re right on the money!! Cheers!
My 25hp on a 3.9 metre goes 32 knots and its a cute lil speeder but I really want more power because I cant take more than 3 extra people on board

Put the brother up front and speed increases.
90 Yamaha 2 stroke
Is that a Mako
What material is it made of?
What size and pitch prop is on the Yamaha? I am impressed!
Hi there, great question. it's a 9.9 diameter and 10 pitch prop. And haha, right?! who would've thought?! Cheers!
@@diywaterworld Exactly!
do you think anybody heard the speed against the wind with you yelling like that ?
Works fine to me , but I don’t ever go over 15 mph ( just fishing )
Big cheers to that Michael, I always preach that 14-15mph is the magic speed! Fast enough to get somewhere... slow enough to not break the wallet! Cheers!

There’s just one problem the boat is gutted so really it’s bs
I’m doing the same thing with a 1968 wellcraft as we speak.. I got it for 350$ ..I refuse to spend 20 grand for a 30 year old bay boat with 2000 hrs
Just run a single Yamaha 3stroke 50hp on jacke plate
I think you mean 2 stroke, 3 cyl. Great motors.
What's the update?
Is this boat for sale?
15 kts tops.
Pretty close Rama! Thanks for the guess!
19mph
Pretty darn good guess!! 😜🤙🏼 cheers Bob!

Yep , add a bottle of nitrous and hang on ! 👍🏼🤪😳
Oh man!! hahah, vroooom!!! 😜
No gunwales? No inwales? I'd be afraid to would fold like a banana when it crashed into the first wave. Then again, I make my boats out of plywood and epoxy 🤣
Ahhh, great point! Remarkably, it’s incredibly strong as it is ( although in this vid it is just in project phase) , I plan on finishing it all out with reinforcements. That’s the beauty of these older boats.. built tough! You can sit on the edges with very little flex, I’ve taken this boat through some pretty serious waves too ( stay tuned for part 2!) and it does really well/ holds up. Thanks for the comment and cheers to building your own boats! 🙌🏼
It’s like a Port-A-Boat!

Great guesstimate Hector! Thanks for the guess!

A 20ft boat is not even a big boat i got a 20ft aluminum boat its small i got a merc 150 on it
i guess it all depends on what you're used to... 20ft could be big to someone that only has been on kayaks.... small to a yacht owner. 😜

Have you got an email address or Facebook that I can message you some stuff? I think you might like it. 🤙
Deep vee ? B.S.
I have a 20 flats boat I bet any amount of money a 25hp will not plane it

You bald boys need to wear hats 🧢
Touché my friend! Ironically , I think the hats are what wore out hair off 😂
