This build is Microskiff inspired for an excellent mudyacht experience. She is ready for all the adventures from dusk to dawn shallow or out in the deep. This build is now powered #XP18HPE Duromax 18hp 440cc big bore single cylinder engine and Mudskipper Twister Kit. Its going to be an adventure sink or swim.

One thing i learned when i was growing up is that you dont need to go fast on the water. Id rather soak in the beauty and splendor of just being on the water. My Dad's friends would always laugh at his 25hp Merc. on his huge fishing boat. It got us there 10 minutes later and who cares how fast you get there.
Simplicity at its best
I found a 12' V-hull with one rib down the center, otherwise slick bottom. I'm kicking it around along with a XL Twister. Y'all keep up the good work.
Respect from Texas.
Nice I definelty recommend the duromax 440 on it but build your transom to 21inches or use a jackplate. An epoxy slick coating on the bottom will also help alot.
That big thing is heavy I don’t own a boat trailer so I think it would be impossible until I got some thing to haul it around but I’m pretty impressed by the twister Shallowater performance. 18 miles an hour is good for a V hull if you put that thing on a complete flat bottom you would be getting probably 23 mph great video man keep it up I’ll be on the water soon
@Peyton Rory fuck off loser
Looks Fun, Sticking one of those on m lawn mower. Not sure how fast it will go up river. lol
Looks nice. How shallow can you run it ? I have a 12' starcraft V I'm thinking of getting a longtail for the river.
It will work amazing I recommend a 8 to 16hp kit with a 301cc or 420cc motor . 8:31 I get pretty skinny
Just ordered a surface drive with a 301cc for my 12ft V curios how she’ll do in the river
Should do well!!!! Transom height may need the T-H marine jack plate for 20inches transom height is often optimal for surface drives 12ft vhulls usually have 15 16 inch transom.
@11:50. Why can't you just push down like a long tail to pop it out of the water?
Oh and how fast with the 2 of you?
Under throttle it pulls down into the water not like a longtail that tends to kick out of the water.
How shallow were you able to get?
If my boat can float it will keep going no problem and boats wake usually makes sure that happens easily.
Dude I need to come out with you lol
Most definitely my brother!!!!!!!
Got two mudyachts boats that handle two people no problem
@@azlongtales I’m down, let me know next time you go out
That Duromax 18hp is supposed to have a counter balance on it. It sure seems to have a lot of vibration for a balanced motor.
Definetly not super smooth motor
@@azlongtales That is kind of disappointing too. I was thinking about putting a Duromax 18hp on a Kaboat but i doubt that kind of vibration would be good for the transom on a Kaboat. I work out of town a lot and pull a 14 ft tool trailer . I can bag the Kaboat and put it and the motor in the back of my truck and the shaft can go in my tool trailer. That way i can hit the rivers when working out of town without having to pull another trailer out of town.
I wonder if the 13hp Predator has less vibration issues
@@jeffccr3620 no the duromax is very smooth the predator I think has a little more vibration but all of the honda clone motors do. It is not a big deal just keep things torqued and use thread locker. It's a power equipment motor that's used on generators powerwashers water pumps ext. Gas motors have vibration and power things ex mini bikes and they don't fall apart I'm sure whatever boat you put it on thats rated for 18hp will be just fine. Most people consider reving sensation of a motor the most enjoyable part of life.
AZL have Y'all ever used rubber grommets between motor & kit? To help with vibration.
I imagine the balance shaft is more for energy storage with load. The company can easily balance a crank shaft and never have to make a balance shaft. They most likely do it to keep motor from bogging down easy. The engine vibrates because he has metal on metal at the mounting points and oh yeah its a single cylinder 440cc motor
I'm selling one of them kits. It was too heavy for my 1232. Sucks only got to use it once
What size engine did you use?
How much you asking Scotts. I have a SPS long but my youngest son was thinking about getting a beavertail
Is the motor reliable
Very reliable and 3 year warranty standard from duromax
is the governer bypassed?
Yes
How do you grease yours
Thru the grease fittings on the shaft it comes with
@@azlongtales yes I know that. But how do I determine how much. Should it squish out.
@@ThailandAmazing I ordered one and called about that exact question. They told me 4-5 pumps of marine grease and your good to go.
You say the top speed is 18 mph?
18.5 with the 8 1/2 aluminum prop and 21 to 22 with 9 1/2 stainless
Speed?
18 mph
Gotcha, with 2 people ?
@@DB-pn7ui 15 mph 2up and coolers and gear
Jon/John boat: is a flat bottomed boat.
No 12ft vhull
