Ambush 1556 and Tohatsu 4 stroke

[CajunChristian]

Well guys, I spent last Monday through Thursday, 23rd through the 26th, in Alexander, Arkansas building my boat. I wanted certain options that I wanted to watch being installed. I monitored the build to make sure I know what I am talking about when explaining these hulls. The Ambush is Legendcrafts high performance custom boat. These are not cookie cutter boats. They are built to specific orders, they do not have a lot full of boats. Their boats are built for customers with options ordered. That's why when you order an Ambush, your build is put in line in the order it is received. As your order comes up, they build your boat. So don't expect to go to a dealer and see a lot full of Ambush boats, won't happen.
Now, before the RPM police start whining, and the folks that claim it's a setup:
Ray Charles can see this hull is empty. It is 15' long, 56" wide bottom, weighs 540 pounds. I tested this boat one step at a time. This run was with an EMPTY boat. A 6 gallon fuel tank, a large deep cycle battery, and a 20 pound coonass.
And yes, I run the engine above the manufacturer's recommended RPM range, GET OVER IT! When you start getting paid to test equipment, you run it according to your test criteria, till then if you don't like how I test equipment, don't read the article.
Today, I am going to marsh test the boat, loaded: 2 large deep cycle batteries, 2 200# men, 82# thrust motor guide, 6 gallons fuel, all fishing equipment, 48 quart cooler. I'll give results on that later.
Here is a short video of the boat running in West Fork right after I hung the motor. I really didn't expect a 540# hull, 56" wide bottom boat to run like this, but I was thrilled. And any drunk idiot knows that a loaded boat will not run like this. If you would like to look at the rig, let me know. I ran out of propeller. The motor was on the rev limiter while at WOT. I now have more pitch, just haven't had a chance to run the boat. I figure that the prop in the video will be just right for the boat loaded for fishing. The boat did everything werll, turns on a dime, planes in about 10' distance, floats high.
