I used the Predator 212cc engine on my longtail build. I modified it a little and get speeds of around 14 mph with me(210lbs), battery, trolling motor, extra gas, cooler and some fishing gear in a 1232 jon. Check out my post... First post!Showing off my new rig. in Cyber Mudfest viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27729 |

You have alot of parts available for that motor. Hell there are guys in the minibike/ kart world pushing 20hp out of a Honda gx200 6.5hp block. You can get 9hp pretty easily. Prop it right for the rpm and 12-15mph not out of the question. Check out NR Racing they have alot of options for your motor. Cams, carb, exhaust removing gov. are all things worth looking into. |
