 New boat
Not a mud boat, but I sure like it.

 Re: New boat
The boat is a 15'4" x 89". The engine is a Suzuki G13B. I'm adding a turbo sometime next week, but it runs pretty good right now. I'll try to post a video. There are some videos on Facebook running it yesterday.

 Re: New boat
That engine must be super light.
I have a 15x7 robicheaux with a 454. it goes everywhere but that cast iron block and heads are a heavy SOB.

 Re: New boat
You run up in Dishon Plantation yesterday? Pretty sure I saw you behind my house as I was leaving for little league try outs. That sucker was loud!

 Re: New boat
Looks like it James. Congrats on the rig, I'm guessing we'll see it at the mudrun.

 Re: New boat
These videos are just straight motor, no turbo. It should be even better with the turbo kit and re pitching the prop.

 Re: New boat
nice boat but why not a lycoming O360? Price should have been about the same for both engines.

 Re: New boat
Have looked into Dragonfly for awhile now! They look awesome, just never knew how they'd handle bigger water to some slews we hunt. About what speeds do you get?
