New toy

Put this 1442 Alumacraft together over the winter and finally did a test run... Was extremely happy with Shallow water performance. Boat is way smaller than I'm used to but I will get better with it. The motor is a Harbor freight 420 predator and drive is a Backwater swamp light glider.

holy Shiite! That thing reminds me of the stuff I rode around on in Bangkok!

How fast she go on smooth water?

 

[Fishmission]

Way cool. Super shallow water runner!

 

[huffranger]

Told my wife it was a sampan, she didn't have a clue... 18mph with only my fragile frame aboard. Gonna shim the cavitation plate but don't expect much more speed just easier handling.

Fun, can't even put it to words. I was grinning like a retard with a cookie....

I see you found a second use for the Winnipeg cruise machine.

 

[Kickemup]

That thing is sweet.

 

[Up Y'oars]

Pretty soon you'll be hunting for alligators like they do in Swamp People! :;:muahaha:;:exactly

 

[Sub_Elect]

Choot Em!

 

[Captain Ahab]

A pair of denim overalls without a shirt and you're set.

 

[JayKay]

Norm, you have wayyy too many teeth for that boat. Waaayyy...

 

[Fishmission]

Is the prop shaft removable for trailering or do you attach a flag on it?
nevermind. I now see it flips over into the boat. Pretty nifty

Neat outfit Huff, Allen's bangkok comment reminded me of a video I watched not so long ago.

 

[DirtyMike]

Huff the swamp man

I'm stupid excited to see how my suppressed AR handles carp that have thier backs slightly above water...

Low blow dirty, Shelby is dumber than a box of hammer handles. Hell that condition ( Coon - Ass ) is just slightly worse than Down's syndrome.

Only thing good that came out of Louisiana is Tabasco.....

Dated a girl from New Orleans one time. She had a full academic ride to Jamestown college. Unfortunately she was as good at academics as she was at riding. Twas fun while it lasted.

Give me a lesson on operation and we'll go hunt some carp.

Finally uploaded the video, spoiler alert ( not that exciting )

 

[DirtyMike]

looks a little top heavy

 

[huffranger]

Oh its more tippy than the millionare I met at the strip club with terminal cancer......

 

[Fishmission]

Is it possible to sit down when you're running it?

 

[huffranger]

Yes, you can sit. But you can't see as well and turning is restricted slightly.
