Your chain appears to be too tight. I'm eating dinner while watching this video, ducking and weaving at every tree limb and bridge. Nice build concept.

What a sweet little creek. Looks like around 30mph. Bloody hard to control a jet boat in narrow conditions when your instinct says back off the throttle in a corner.

Pretty cool man, i've always loved this idea. No need for that clutch really, ditching it gains you the advantage of a slow troll all while getting rid of a failure point. Cheers

Ok. Just found this video. Super cool ride. Reminds me of when I had one of the Briggs & Stratton 5hp 4 stroke outboards they used to sell. It barely moved my boat and people would hear me coming long before I got there. They would be standing on their docks because it sounded just like a lawnmower engine except it was a boat motor. Every one of em said we didnt know what was going on.

You should take that engine off and use a 2 or 3 cylinder liquid cooled snowmobile engine with the jack shaft/clutch setup. You could utilize the water you’re running on to cool the engine. Also you would see rpm’s a lot closer to 8k or so depending on what gears you used. Cool project though. Look like fun.

the bottom of the boat in the rear needs to be more v shaped where the drive is. you should see less cavitation problems. the ramp should be shorter and steeper heading into the intake and long and shallow going from front to rear. earned a sub tho. love it also, spin the drive much faster. like 10,000 rpm
@JH1200A1

The pump intake will have to be a whole lot cleaner for 10,000 rpms and no cavitation. That engine will never spin it up that fast.

@@noturfather1106 If you wanna keep it simple and low horse go air cooled so you can chew thru mud and debris Some around here put little automotive engines in and do a heat exchanger but it's way more complex basically they put the cooler inside the boat on floor with super large capacity of coolant and let the seawater run thru front pickup and dump out the back being fed just on gravity For the mud and log jumping I would go with air cooled

I want to make a mud duck boat, small and light enough for me to drag up the banks from where I launch but with enough power to push me through the thick stuff and over dams without getting choked up with weeds.

Why are you running a clutch? No need, unless you have it set to only slip under a shock load as a safety for the engine. Also, I think that thing needs more gearing and I KNOW it needs a chain guard. Cool little boat though, would work great on the Tualatin near me

I have been slowly gathering parts for a simialar build. Have you considered a cvt style gokart cluch? They keep the engine in higher rpm range while allowing vairable gearing dependendent on load and would essentially give "neutral" while idling

To get better acceleration and torque you would need a bigger driven sprocket, small one on the engine and larger one on the propeller shaft. Unfortunately it looks as if there may not be enough room for a larger sprocket there.
