For Sale: Well kept and lightly used. :grinpimp:

No water damage

how is this possible? i have a merc 25 and would love for it so run like that.

I guess it just takes balls.

I run my tohatsu in some shallow water, but good lord lol

I would like to see what kind of boat it is pushing...

I used to run a 25 tohatsu on a Karl stryon tunnel I would play all the time like that would always trip friends out lol. Piss on the prop run one the black top. Don't know how I ever blew that motor. My cousin down the road owns it now still runs like a top.

Super Skinny
 

Mallard I prob own the same boat, I have a 17X38 with a 25 Nissan its a sweet little marsh boat. Did u ever modify anything on your cooling system?

No just pulled the little plastic piece off the end of the pisser and ran a Lil bigger hose that motor would piss pure mud and never overheat

What little plastic piece?

The little piece that the hose is hooked to in hood to where it comes out of the case

Did you do anything to the intake on the lower unit?

No I never have

I anxious for lacassine to open to try my motor I have now I drilled out the water port coming out the to twice the size it was should have no problem pissing mud

Boat
 

The boats nothing special you can see the bottom rib marks in the mud, but the motor is mounted super high. Those little outboards will run higher than the water intakes, just gotta figure out how to keep it cool.

The boat is defiantly tunneled you can hear the vaccum in the video when it finally takes off

So you just drilled out the exit hole on coming out of the engine block?

Yup been having lots of problems with it plugging up with duck weed haven't had a problem since drilling in wanna see how it will do in lacassine

How often do you change your impeller?

Had it changed last year been having for 5 years now really want bad but was having problems with lower unit so had changed while it was apart

This may be a dumb question...but is a tunnel necessary running in these conditions?

What conditions?

Similar to the video...slim-to-none water. Running a mud flat like that.

I have run my boat across a flat like that, but I would never dream of stopping in the middle of it. Don't plan on mud riding in my boat, but it is nice to know you can in case of tide changes or an emergency.

I would never stop with a jack plate in something like that a tunnel yes I have done it many times lol

Lol these videos were posted by a friend of mine a while back...Enjoy his crazy ***

Lol let it eat!!!

Good lord......... and not once did he say "hold my beer and watch this"

He's a professional lmao

If you set up a merc 25hp (2 stroke) on a long tunnel they will go through a mud flat with ease. I hate to say it but the merc out performs the yamie 25 2 stroke hands down on the same hull. We have both in GC and when the water gets real low I only take out the merc.

Agreed x1000

How much better will a flat do than a semi-v? Or does it really make a difference?

I'm no expert, but a semi- v will sit lower in the water/mud along its center line causing more resistance with foot of motor sitting even lower. A flat with a proper tunnel will force a cleaner water stream for the water intake and help aid a thinner mud flow for the prop to grab.

Makes sense to me.

Hit the nail on the head!!!
