I have been running a 24 hp Honda Scavenger all summer, I was getting around 18mph alone on a 1651 Polarkraft. Because of the design, it's prop turns opposite of everybody else's, and I was unable to get anybody to make me a reverse turning prop for it.


To get it to bite in mud better, I re-worked the bottom end, cut the gawdy skeg and cavitation plate off, re-welded a more streamlined cav. plate on, and left the skeg off. I would reccomend welding a skeg back on it out of plate steel, something streamlined, it will help with the tiller torque and keep it pushing straight, not running to the side when you bite mud. Here are pics of what I did...
