 Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
We took the little Prowler out for a hunt in Eastern WI this past week.
The hunting was slow so we did some tests and took some vids.
Here are the results:
1236 Prowler with 12hp Copperhead motor.
One man 25-27 mph.
Two Men 20-22 mph.

 Re: Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
The larger .100 hull is done, but we will not be able to get anymore sheets for 4-6 weeks until the mill runs them again, so we are not going to show the 1540 model jon until we know we can start producing them.
The longer versions of the 36 Prowler will start in production next week or so, we are waiting to get the brake fixed we need to bend them up in numbers.
Will keep you all posted on the progress of the longer boats.

 Re: Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
Man them little boats can down right get it with 2 people, i have to say i am impressed. Definitly going to have to look into one of these so i can start hunting the Refuges! Can you fit decoy bag guns ammo Etc. in the boat with 2 full grown men. Also have you ran this boat with this load? Very curious

 Re: Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
i have seen the videos of these motors running through shallows and mud, but how well do they do in a field of lilly pads and other vegetation?

 Re: Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
this lil thing looks awesome and seems to perform pretty good. i could definitely see alot of ducks being killed out of one these rigs. im highly considering getting one of these combos but i have a few questions. Does this lil motor produce enough power and torque so that if i need to drop it down(if it will even drop down?) and let it eat, it can eat through the tough stuff and get me out of a bind? how does it handle running through veggies including lily pads, hyacinth, coontail, and matted grass? does it come setup with running lights and bilge pump or can i get this added?

 Re: Phowler Prowler 1236 on the marsh - 12hp Copperhead
Think about it these are small small boats that only weight like 160-200 pounds it wouldnt take much to get to those speeds and they turning a pretty good size prop.
