love it ....I been building boat motors like this for years nice to see someone else doing it
That is very cool and thanks for watching!!
Trying to figure out how to do it lol
Homemade outboard and My man just launched a boat off the back of a sentra. I love it!
Around my parts there's an unofficial rule at the boat launch it seems: diesel 4x4s only
Funny and thanks for watching.
Altima
@@ssoltys4128 yes and thanks for watching
Prob the best conversion ive seen. Very clean swap 👍👌
I think it’s amazing how you made this work. It’s definitely inspiring
Love the enginuity, great video
Again, this is epic, thank you for doing stuff that is custom. Totally inspired and may customize my pontoon!
The legend has returned. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!!!
You were flying!!! Awesome job Chud!👏👏👏
Yes, I am impressed and plan to do some tuning to make it faster. I would like to hit in the 20's. Thanks for watching.
Amazing! All this time I couldn’t afford a boat motor, but had a riding mower. I could have save a lot of rowing calories.
So true! I am sure if you can do knife art, you could build a boat motor. Thanks for watching.
Looking forward to seeing the next speed run👍🏼
Me too and thanks so much for watching.
Very impressed thinking about making one myself
Awesome video! Makes me want a boat now haha, thanks for posting!!
Very welcome and maybe another tomorrow with some fishing action... thanks for watching.
Love these! Post more. :D
I'm glade too see ya still have the zombie-mower, with your location, I'm surprised you don't have a hundred people wanting to buy one of these boat engines, great video, thanks for sharing.
Yes, Zombie is still with up and when I feel I have too many, maybe I will start advertising them. thanks for watching.
That's so cool wish I had seen this video when I was working at the scrap yard we had heaps of old outboards and mowers come through
I know right, I sometime think I should get a job at the dump, but I would have so much more stuff here at the house in the way... Thanks for watching.
A different prop would do wonders but this is still super awsome!!!
My Dad and I built a 3.5hp version boat motor with a Ted Williams lower unit, and a 15hp with a Evinrude lower unit about 18 years ago. Used them for several years before a guy bought both of them.
Love these DIY videos, always fun to watch. If you really are interested in speed you might wanna change the prop, easy 5-6 mph just on that..
yes, I am already considering that and thanks for watching.
That pretty decent. With 2 people in the boat. I managed to hit 11mph in a 10 foot tinner with a 1970 4hp Evinrude Lightwin. Cool!
We had a 5 hp mercury and I the it hit around 8mph. I have been impressed with my speeds. Thanks for watching!!
Great idea. I think you should of painted the boat footer part John Deere Green also. That would have been bad ass looking going down the river...
Great video
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
A prop change will make that thing stand up and haul bass !!
Awsome bud.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
Faster than I expect
This is a trip! Glad youre still doing this stuff! I love the lifted engine rather than reversing the pulley on the mower. Way smarter and easier!
I need to go up there and watch you one-day I've seen you heading up to the river but I was in a hurry to get back home
You got skills
That's BA! You have a new sub!
So cool!
I think you must be talking about the manatee, they are actually mammals. Some times called sea cows too. Thanks for watching.
John Deer green that's nice ! Keep it green baby! !
That's the plan!, I think I will add a little yellow to it too. Thanks so much for watching.
@@chud327 no thank you! Fun to watch the speed was unexpected!! Greetings front the not so sunny UK :)
Nice fabrication & repurposing.
Stay safe, Joe Z
the water mower. nice!
Thanks and thank you for watching. BTW, I have a different boat video coming out the this weekend. It is a 25 horse V-Twin. Hope you will check it out.
@@chud327 ofcouse i will you have a new subscriber from the netherlands👍
If you searching for speed ?
Use a v-twin . I recommend Kohler engine is the best bang for the buck ! Will last longer and more reliable !
Also change your 3 blade prop for a 2 blade ! You reducing rpm with those low rpm engine and it has to work a lot harder to push a 3 blade than a 2 blade prop . You will loose take off power but will gain better speed !
Hope this help ?
Good idea, I actually went back and added a vtwin, still need to do more test experiments. Thanks for watching!!
Would like to see a torque converter from go power sports on this unit just to see if you can get more prop speed.
That would be cool, thanks for watching
something to also try thats free , cavitation plate , just above prop , take a straight edge along bottom of boat to bottom of plate aka raise motor on transome . from video looks like motor is sitting way low . so raise equals less drag .thats why i have a jacker plate on the bassboat , if it seems to rev high and cavitate prop u ar to high can happen in turns and rough water ,Good luck love the vids . we are in a group on facebook also
Good info, I have a lot of improvements planned and thanks for watching.
Gord here , I would like to see the how to make the mount and engine swap set-up , That would nice.
4 stroke air cooled engine seems ideal in muddy water situations, no cooling system to clog up.
you are exactly right and thanks for watching.
Awesome
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
Tell me that is the Manatee river. I swam across that with my friends so many times..lol The one time I was swimming across and my friends were already one the other side and I saw a huge branch coming. They were yelling to keep swimming faster. I just made it to the gator trail that they were standing on the they said turn around. I did and buy blood ran cold. It was a huge ball of snakes. Not a branch. Horrible...lol
Spooky story... This one s the St Mary's river and thanks for watching. I'll be looking out for those snakes .
@@chud327 Got tons of those stories. That same day when we were out hunting for mushrooms I asked why the reeds and grass were all pushed down all the way out into the fields. My friend Lee said watch this and proceeded to reach down and pull up a cows ribcage. It was quite heavy and he dropped it. I said WTF! Lee said that we were standing on the slide way where the gators crawl up into the fields and grab a cow if they. do not come down to the water and drag it back to the river where they eat it. I said we should get outta here. He said that he knew the schedule of the cows and therefore the gators. I said what if one of the gators wanted to come into work early? He had no reply.
Make a backhoe for a 318 John Deere mower
That would be way cool and thanks for watching.
Nice setup
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 That's high praise, coming from sixtyfiveford! He's the master of ingenuity.
I had a boat just like that one with a 1967 Evinrude 10 HP glass fuel filter housing. It ran perfect! I sold it for $400 with trailer. I regret the hell is out of it!
I usually say the same think every time I sell anything... thanks for watching.
I did the same thing with a 20hp Johnson and an 18hp briggs. I found out a better way to attach the two without using the lovejoy and lowers the briggs a lot and lowered the center of gravity and it cost a lot less.
I would like to learn that trick and thanks for watching.
That’s awesome Chud that engine was getting it done out there
Thanks and yes, when I popped it in gear and the governor kick in, the brother-in-law's eye about popped out. Thanks for watching.
Personally I would keep the governor for reliability and deal with the speed
Tried with the governor on a V-Twin boat motor yesterday and only hit 9 MPH. Hope to double that with some mods.
A higher pitch prop will make it alot faster. Thats a low rpm engine compared to the original so you need a higher pitch prop.
I'm enjoying your videos!
One note: that angle iron tiller handle is scary. I don't like anything in a [vehicle] that could go through me in a crash.
Yea, I plan to cover it with some PVC that will get rid of the sharp edges.. thanks for watching.
My knee jerk reaction was NO WATER SHUT IT OFF.....Oh, right.
Seemed okay but 19hp should be more speed I think. Engine height, prop etc. My 9.8 does 20s on a rubber boat. Cool project.
What size a pitch prop are you using ? I can’t seem to get the speeds you do
I don’t have that memorized, but I will definitely put it in the next video and thanks for watching!
I’d love to see you build a diy vertical shaft surface drive motor. As far as I’m aware Pro Drive is the only one that makes them and there are no diy kits available.
I will ponder it a bit and see what I can come up with… thanks for watching
my question is how will the do in the open sea will you get the same results or not ?
Same results, but I did have a wave splash up once an shut mine off. Need to do some waterproofing if the waves are going to get high. Thanks for watching!!
What was the HP of the oem powerhead? Your repowered engine sounds like RPM too low. If you didn't remove the water pump impeller, it's probably fried out and could cause friction to engine. I like your talent though! Nice.
Original engine was a 1956 25 horse and yes the impeller was removed. Could use more RPM and thanks for watching.
what adapter do u used to join shaft?
Love joy from tractor supply. Thanks for watching!
I think you need a jack plate to lift that motor. You have a low transom that fits a short shaft engine. The donor outboard looks like a long shaft. That said, a properly seated motor will perform much better than an improperly seated motor.
I got a whole bunch of modifications planned for this boat. Me and brother in law was just talking about a jack plate too... I will make videos of every thing I do trying to get more speed, and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Thanks for the reply. Just a friendly suggestion on my part. I enjoy watching your videos and the homemadery of it all.
👍
Thanks and thanks for watching
Raise that engine till the cavitation plate is even with the bottom of the boat. It's to low . You will gain mph just by setting the engine up correctly . And it's free
Planning a bunch of speed experiments and that is one of them. Thanks for watching.
Yes please, I am excited for this test. If it's not too much work could you try testing at multiple heights right up to the surface?
Hey Chud great work!!! Did the leg not come with a forward/neutral/reverse selector? I am thinking of doing a project like this with a cheap Chinese ebay diesel.
Mine had a shifter, but the clamp had rusted away. Let me know how yours turns out and thanks for watching.
I want one!!
They are not that bad to put together and thanks for watching.
Very impressive what are you joing the shafts with what's that called
That is called a "Lovejoy" I got mine at tractor supply. thanks for watching
Where did you get the shaft joints from and what's the name of them
They are called "lovejoy" connectors and I get mine from tractor supply. thanks for watching.
Is that a '50's era Lonestar boat?
Maybe add a clutch and sprocket for higher speeds and smoother take off? Just offset the engine
You may be on to something. I also want to make it where it idles down better for smoother take offs. thanks so much for watching.
Would it be better to extend the F/R shifter? Just so that you dont need to put you hand anywhere near the spinning shaft?
I agree, I plan to do that, just did not have time before this video. Thanks so much for watching.
What brand of action camera do you use? Thanks
I use an old GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition. I would love to have a new model, like the 9, but these work good for me. I also use the Nikon p900 with its awesome zoom and my iPhone 8. I love all three, but the iPhone has low audio while recording... Thanks for watching.
You want speed ? Get rid of the 3 prop . It's slowing down your RPM and over working that motor . Get a 2 BLADE prop . Get the right pitch to match YOUR RPM .
You maybe right, I have another homemade boat motor with a little more horse power and a 2 blade prop and it is faster... thanks for watching.
Just out of curiosity, converting a high rpm lower unit to a slower 4 stroke motor, do you have any issues with the prop turning too slow?
It could turn faster, but I find it is actually pretty good. I hit higher speeds than I expected. Thanks for watching.
if you raise the engine cavitation plate to the bottom of the boat you will get more speed
Planning that very thing and thanks for watching.
Did you remove the governor?
No, just hooked the cable straight to the carb. thanks for watching.
What is the plate for the moter an the thing u called love Joy connects the shafts
Motor plate came off the mower. Lovejoy is just the device for connecting the shafts. Thanks for watching
Lightening freaks me out, I've had some very odd experiences with it!
We had it hit the water once in front of the boat. Luckily it was a fiberglass boat, but we felt it in the metal we were holding on to. That was freaky... Thanks for watching.
You need a bigger prop so you can get that boat on a plane
I thought about doing this but use a timing gear chain set from a 350 to get the shaft to spin faster with the engine rpm have to mount it off center what do you think about it got plenty of torq just need rpm
I have though about that too, I have several old timing sets laying around and you could double the speed of the prop... I just don't know an easy way to adapt them to the smaller shaft. It is in my head though.. thanks for watching.
@@chud327 vertical jack shaft
I'm fixin' to make one with a 19hp opposed twin B&S and an old Evenrude. Do you think it's better to do away with the govenor or do you use em as is?
I don't like the governor, can't idle around as good and when I put mine in gear it wanted to go wide open. That was scary the first time... good luck on you build and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Is it OK just to disable the governor at the carburetor? Just unhook it?
Does the engine spin to the right.
Did you have to change propeller.
I am looking to do similar but engine spins right and prop is for left spin.
Difficult but not impossible. Props are expensive. Make a shaft converter for less hopefully.
Even if my engine turned the wrong way, I have forward and reverse, I could just go in reverse and call it forward... If you could add a couple of gears, that would change the rotation for you. Thanks for watching.
Cut the pully shaft and weld the bottom against the top pully then you get the same thing with out lifting the motor.
Yeah, but after you weld that makes it kinda hard to change in the future. thanks for watching.
When driving the aluminum v boat don't try speed runs with someone on the bow put them in the middle and the boat should go much faster, plowing water with weight on bow.
Seem to be faster with weight on front. Will try more tricks next time and thanks for watching.
i thought my video speed was on 2 or 3 x foward . but come to find out it was just the speed your talking .
I have heard that before, I speed up when I get excited about something... Thanks for watching!!
How is noise lvl comperd to a original?
A little louder, but could be made quieter... thanks again for watching.
Congratulations on the Engineering degree from
The Afro America Institute of technology and Engineering. This honorary degree is being given for living up to our Institutions moto. "Yes I can make that work somehow"!
Love the saying
thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching.
Where do you buy the connector to connect the engine to the outboard I have a Honda 160 and 190 motor from a pressure washer please let me know by the way your the best !!!! Man this is the best idea I’ve ever seen
You can probably find it online pretty easy, search Lovejoy connector. I get mine from tractor supply. Good luck, thanks for watching and thanks for the awesome comment. PS I have several other homemade boat motor build video you can check out and may work on another tonight after work using a vtwin...
@@chud327 my plan is to make 3 home made motors and put them on the back of a Baja bayrunner it’s a 18ft aluminum boat I’m tired of Oars and electric troll motor hahah I bought a 7hp Johnson motor and it was a waste of money people are always throwing away lawnmowers so this is the best idea as long as you know how to clean a carb these 5hp air cooled engines last a while
Any poulan updates coming soon
I can try to squeeze one in for you, don't want the gas to get old in it... Thanks for the request and for watching.
I'm surprised you where able to get on the water most ramps are flooding right now in dixie
Yeah, this one was only half flooded. I am trying to get to the river to do some sand runs, but the water has it all covered up... now we have another storm coming too. Thanks for watching.
ur john deere engine...is a Briggs and Stratton....just so u know if u ever have to look for parts it's a Briggs and Stratton Intek made for john deere
That one actually came off of a Troy Bilt, thanks for watching.
So it telling me john deere built the engine then sold it out to troybilt?.....no not the case....it may have ben in a troybuilt u bough used somewhere.....but the engine was built by briggs and Stratton for deere and deer slapped there logos and colors on it to claim it at as its own....then somewhere along the line someone's trowbuilt would run so they found a deere and took that motor of the deer and put in the troy built...then u ended up with it...... but fact is it's a Briggs and Stratton Intek build by Briggs for deere....its an Intek with a green cover instead of black or red... and some john deere stickers
If y dont believe me go over to the engine and go on valve cover and get ur model type amd code and plug that into the ole google
..and Briggs Amd Stratton worh come up........I'll do the same 2 the 2 legit deets in my yard that say there a john deere engine but are both Briggs and stratton twins just to prove it
hear me out here, 0 turn, sidewheel paddleboat build
Such a good idea, I will try to get to that. thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Im very curious as to how your gonna do it, I just bought myself a deckless zero turn, And I live on a lake, And I love old river boats.
How much to get one for my 10 ft John boat???
Make me an offer (I have 4 of them now and possible more to come) of find me the parts and I can help you build one... Thanks for watching.
You are the kind of guy that is really valuable if the world goes to shit .
Let's hope it ain't soon and thanks for watching!!
Share the water. My river was s 4 feet low. It’s normally 5 feet deep
I would gladly share some, it is way too high for me. I want to go to the river and ride my mower in the sand, but it is going to be a while. Plus it keeps on rain a bunch too. Thanks for watching.
Get that moose off the front and let it trim out you may get it pushing 15 mph. :) Nice job!
Will be doing more test soon, hope to hit even more than 15 and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 I love your videos...my son and I actually did a pulley swap on a mower a while back...it's been pretty fun! Thanks for the great content.
Sure sounded like the choke was still on
It may have been at times, I will be cleaning the carb and redoing the throttle and choke system real soon. Thanks for watching.
no one says do the engine run hot or ok
Mine never ran hot, seems fine, thanks for watching!
Hi i was wondering if you except letters. Love the video
Yes, my address is in the description. chud327 PO Box 687, Callahan, FL, 32011. Thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Thank you
You should sell this kit
That is a very good idea, thanks for watching!!
7:20,,,,,,,,,,,, ✌️
That was a bit sketchy, thanks for watching
You should patten and sell
I was like im sorry YOU WHAT
I don't understand, but thanks for watching.
that fuel filter is nasty
Yep, will probably change it out with the carb cleaning that is coming. thanks for watching.

Very cool, thanks for watching. May be another video tomorrow, where will you place tomorrow?
@@chud327 I would watch it 😅 when I get the time it's 01.13 here in denmark
Second
Very cool, thanks for watching. May be another video tomorrow, can you be number first on that one?
@@chud327 i don't know, i will hope that i will be first.

Very cool, thanks for watching. May be another video tomorrow, can you do it two days in a row?
@@chud327 if you do a live video I can
