 Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Can't say enough good things about the folks at backwater inc!! Loving my swomp lite! been running a 9 by 5 prop. motor doesn't quite have the nuts to swing it but getting better as it wears. Still picked up 2mph and better push in thick stuff in my opinion. Anyways here's a video of me and my 3 year old having fun just crashing the backwaters! https://youtu.be/YLVBJ413mhA

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Absolutely outstanding. That's a go anywhere rig for sure. Definitely saw a couple places most big SD rigs wouldn't have made it where you did. Glad to see your little girl is getting some quality outdoor time too. Keep her in a life jacket and wear your kill switch and keep making videos.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Newb question: Why does speed increase after new motor has been run?

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Badass rigs, badass kid.
Side note, that edit was Sick! I've messed with editing enough to know how hard getting one like yours must be. Very nice!

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Awesome vid!!! Makes me want to put another little longtail setup together. Your little girl is awesome too!!! Mine likes to ride but I don't know how well she'd take being tossed out of her seat so often

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
I concur. Sweetest edit I have seen in a long time.
I takes a lot of time and effort to put together that many good clips.
Good work.

Thank you for that inspiration! Bigger is not always better! I just wish I had some beaver dams around here I could jump now and then!

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Wow man great videos. Your daughter will appreciate this when she gets older. Keep on keepin on. Where are you all located? Only reason I ask is a few years ago me and a buddy were scouting some birds up the chattahoochee river and a couple with an infant came in a very secluded pond with a canoe. We left and went back to the camp about 7 miles down river. About an hour later we saw them paddling being our cabin in a pocket. We went out to tell them they could hunt our spread that evening and they did. Guy kinda looked like you, but may be totally off. Great job raising the little one.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
That right there is what it's all about. Enjoy that little one. She will appreciate and learn from those trips wether she ever says it or not.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
That's great man. Nice video. That second video had me grinning from ear to ear. You're a cool dad. Keep it up. I don't even know you and I'm proud of you
It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Wow. Finally got the video to load. Does that boat handle as easily as you make it look in the videos? I've been thinking about a swomp lite on a smaller Jon for some places I can't get the big boat in around here. Also looks like it's got some pretty good speed. I can't wait to get my little girl out in the boat, she's only a year old so it'll be a while still for me.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
Thanks everyone! I just remember my parents exposing me to the outdoors at an early age so just trying to do the same. She loves to tell all the other girls at dance she's got a muddy motor as she calls it! Wad shooter that sounds like something I would do but, it wasn't me. I'm in upstate SC. That's a beautiful river though! Been there fishing for shoal bass a few times. To those that asked the boat is a 1436 and will run 15 /16 with a 8 by 4 and 17/18 with a 9 by 5 with the loads you see in the videos. Been eyeballin a 1836 with a 23 swomp lite and keeping this one too but, this ones all I want to move when it's stuck. Also been using a 2lbs lithium polymer battery and its awesome. Got some other videos in the works boat related and others.

 Re: Still loving the swomp lite 13hp
What battery tygers ? 2#s thats a cool idea !!
Shorai seems to fit the bill. Carbon fiber case and super light weight.
