Running a 200 HP outboard on small 14 ft Jon Boat

  • One of the more crazy ideas we have had of running a 200hp 2 stroke outboard on a riveted 14ft john boat.
    After much consideration, we have decided to change our name from 407 crew, to Clapped Out Customs.

  • @williamzender8683
    @williamzender8683 ปีที่แล้ว +269

    Would strongly recommend getting a 3 blade prop with a lot more pitch it won’t have as much torque but you’ll be able to give it some throttle without flipping backwards and fearing for your life and if your ever able to run wide open which I highly doubt it’ll be a lot faster. You could easily run a 26p or 28p prop on that boat. Also this is FUCKING AWESOME

    • @needmoreboost6369
      @needmoreboost6369 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @michaelcarrigan2513
    @michaelcarrigan2513 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    Gotta get the prop shaft higher in relation to the bottom of the hull. You drop it deeper and it’s going to porpoise even more. Don’t need a lot of trim either. Not sure of the clearance on that lower unit, but try running a hub less prop; small eared chopper or lightning ET.
    Ideally, if you put a 4-6” jack plate on it to get farther behind the transom, that might help with the porpoising and cavitation as well.
    Good job wearing a helmet, life jacket, and having a crash boat with you.

    I once had an 18 ft Jon boat with a 115 hp Mariner outboard on it. Had to put an anti cavitation plate on the lower unit to get it to handle right. Had an 18 pitch power prop on it. Bringing it up on plane was instant. No hesitation whatsoever. I was a commercial diver collecting fresh water mussels. Sometimes we would have hundreds of pounds of shells plus all the equipment. Other than being such a gas hog, it was a great piece of equipment.

    Nice work! This is how I remember my childhood. Small 11ft "Tinny" with too much outboard and positive trim. Look at the Supa Skua videos from Australia for how it's done.

    This was awesome. I’d love to see y’all do this with a big sailboat. I’ve seen one video of a sailboat with a big outboard and it looked like a ton of fun, especially when you consider those things are generally floating houses.

      @@shem7974 you’d think that, but I’ve seen a video on the internet that I haven’t been able to find since I saw it of a massive 30 ft sailboat with a 200 outboard on the back towing a tube around a lake, doing a good 25 knots and swerving like they were trying to capsize it.
      Yes, hull speed is a thing, but hull speed doesn’t matter when you have so much power you basically force it into planing.

    I once saw someone put cinder blocks in the front of their boat for counterweight, but they didn't secure them at all. Worked fine until they hit a big wave and it flipped the blocks back into their lap.😆

  • @fishawk90
    @fishawk90 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Cool test. When u added the weight at the front it got more stable. This is why I think boat builders spec their boats to the motor size. Cuz the misconception Is if you’d take a big motor an drop it on a smaller boat it automatically be faster.

    • @BabyCharlotteschannel
      @BabyCharlotteschannel ปีที่แล้ว

      Well of course it'll be fast, but hull TYPE plays probably the BIGGEST part in a hull's abilities!!
      Think about all of the little funnel hulls with F1 merc motors on 'em, and then there's always the little Allison hulls and of course the lil Hydrostream's and Lasers etc..

    I'd love to see you put a steering wheel at the front along with the throttle controls. Would help balance the weight on the boat and be a lot easier to handle.

    • @scotta.blanchat
      @scotta.blanchat ปีที่แล้ว

      I came here to see if someone had mentioned this. They could make the throttle and steering arm extra long so their weight in the front of the boat would even it out.
      Possibly maybe.
