I used a speedometer app on my phone.
Fastest ive ever gotten woth this trig is 24 mph.
Pretty impressive for what this thing is.

Followed the blessing of the fleet today,had a fun ride.even towed a jetski for about 1/2 mile and a 24 ft aluminium boat.
She ran pretty well today,had carb /float issues.....but i made it back home without using the paddle.

With the great outcome of the 26....time to start briggszuki build.
140 cc briggs with steel flywheel,6lb steel coupling on a early 80s 9.9 suzuki.
Total weight of 42 lbs.
Need to get coupling bored to 7/8 id,build a tiller handle and throttle.
All easy to do.

Coupling made and installed,gonna build a tiller handle next.
If this 4 hp aint enough.....i have a 7 hp ready to bolt on.

Coupling made,everything welded and bolted.

I made tiller long,plan on lots of standup driving.

What boat you putting this on?

I had a deal worked up on a 12 ft aluminium hull,guy backed out....so im boatlesd at the moment.

Mounted up the 7 hp,just gotta wait for throttle....and a boat.

Ran the 26 today,1 person 19 mph,2 adults and 4 kids n fishin gear 15 mph....not bad at all for such a heavy load.

Thats awsome and running good!

Thanx
I definatly get alot of stares.
Most people cant believe a stock 26 intek with 400 hours pushes this boat so well.
A 36 briggs would be badarse on this setup.
I plan on adding a skeg to the bottom of the hull,maybe try to raise motor up 2 inches so the bigger wheel can surface drive some.
That should help pickup some more rpm and speed.
But at the moment setting her up to pull a 28ft trawl for the season.
Id get a chance to go play in 10-12 inches of water,my power trim motor is out so i didnt push my luck.plowed through with no issues.
The heavy coupling helped increase the motors torque....i think thats why she does so well on a heavy boat.

Bump?

Thanx for the bump,but nothing much going on.
I did get the throttle in,aint hooked it up yet.still gotta get motor back up n running and build a boat.
Im planning a flat bottom lafitte skiff style hull with flared bow.
Somethin 13-14 ft long,open hull.....maybe 250 lbs max weight empty.
Im shooting for 12-15 mph from this little motor.
I could get more speed from a 12 ft rivited alumicraft....but dont have $800 to spare.
I already have glass n wood lying around.even have acess to a nice mudboat mold.
