Can we get a video of the entire assembly and disassembly? Will pull the trigger on one of these soon!

5:45 it's sound like your Honda .It's very quiet. Yes,with double set of blue earplugs in your ears. :-)

dude I Love Your Boat and Motor combination those motors do Kick-Ass they're amazing one quick question I'm not sure you have it trimmed properly it looks like the motor could be dropped down a notch or two you'd be surprised what it'll do for your speed but I'm not there so you may have it trimmed correctly nice boat

Hello I'm looking at getting Zodiac Futura and saw this suggestion on using a short shaft. What is the measurement of the transom from top to bottom at 90 degrees. Awesome videos thanks again.

Jamie Hutt - 7 years ago

more inflatable reviews please!

First Festival - 7 years ago

hello, have you put a short shaft on your outboard as I have an evinrude 40hp long shaft and I was wondering if it made any difference?

Killerbee3973 - 7 years ago

Nice rig mate. K.i.s.s.

matthew owens - 7 years ago

u need bolts threw your motor and transom

Do you use hydrofoil for your motor? It is kind of blurry i couldn't see it clearly. Also, how big is ur gas tank?

movesydney1 - 8 years ago

Hi I bought an ex military Zodiac mk2 Grand raid and I am trying to decide whether to put a 25 hp (and register the boat) or a small 5.5 hp engine and leave it unregistered. purposes are for fishing around Sydney harbour. NSW Australia . Before I saw this video I had been told that 25 hp is too much weight for the zodiac if I was in it by myself.

Reilly Perovich - 8 years ago

hey nutn just curious why you weren't wearing a life jacket. *gonna come back and edit with some POU I have on tiller outboards and small boats as I have 1000's of hours working on and with them.

fordrac1ng81 - 8 years ago

Thought about one of these for fishing, decided on an aluminum boat instead. Had trouble with the thought of popping a rib. Want a yamaha or honda for it. I'm not an evinrude/johnson fan. And no merc since they're all tohatsu. Your engine is the right shaft length though looking at motor depth at plane.

You can use led battery portable lights, kinda like small flashlights that clamp on

Yet again, you've opened my eyes to new adventuring projects! Thank you!

I have resisted watching this video because I have wanted a Zodiac for years and knew this would just stoke the fire for one.
I hate it when I'm right sometimes.
Good to see Allie again!

Very good video nutn! Love to see more boat videos. keep up the great work!

East Texas Digger - 8 years ago

Im looking at getting a new 30 E- tech we have an 03 25hp Johnson on a 1547 Express Jon boat and with a lot of work to the motor its running 24mph fully rigged out for bass fishing and 2 grown men. We just ordered the CMC PT35 once it gets in ill give you an update on if it made any difference in MPH.

East Texas Digger - 8 years ago

Take a look at a CMC PT35 Electric Hydraulic Jack Plate awesome add on can be found on ebay to help with tilt and trim

kawi kawi - 8 years ago

idk if its just my speakers or my ears but i can barely hear the review over the engine maybe a different microphone or something would be cool for future boat videos i hope to see

The Late Boy Scout - 8 years ago

I've wanted something like this for a long time. Looks awesome, man. Thanks for the review.

Ride Alongside - 8 years ago

me too.

CaptainCoho - 8 years ago

You would get at least an extra 3-4mph with a short shaft or jack plate for your long shaft outboard. Running the prop too deep is the cause for the porpoising I noticed in your video as well.

what, no table top review?

on my little Jon boat that I use for fishing and duck hunting I have little led battery navigation lights. They get the job done and they didn't cost too much.

Chuck Farley - 8 years ago

If all you're going to do is trailer it, why not get a rigid hull? Glass or aluminum, it would still be cheaper than an inflatable, ride better, faster, and much lower maintenance.

Alley's face as you were porpoise pounding on a flat lake says "Hey dummy, why didn't you just get a Lund!"
My teeth started hurting watching that cowl shake.

Ray Gun - 8 years ago

i dominate lunds in my commando c4, and i also rescue the guys who own them on the columbia and on the coast.
yeah get a lund i'm bored and need something to come over the radio soon.

John Sorrentino - 8 years ago

I love small fun quick boats too but could never get past the price tag of a Zodiac. As awesome as they are they're still an inflatable PVC rig, as a fisherman just too many sharp objects around to ruin your day. For the price I'd rather get a nice kayak or used 13' whaler, etc. But they are awesome as a run about or tender/bail out boat.

jbeddome1 - 8 years ago

RAIDER69 - 8 years ago

I`v been thinking about buying a small boat this year for the rivers and lakes in my area. Not a big fisherman, just like to go out and have fun...What would be the advantage of a Zodiac over a regular fiberglass boat of the same size ?

Slinky Bopper - 8 years ago

Doggy!

ZackApple - 8 years ago

for that spacer you need to get some black starboard it's like a plastic plywood available at most marine retailer's such as West marine

Phu Vet - 8 years ago

The motor still leaves oil in the water but it leaves it as a complex carbon soot that sinks in the water so you dont see the slick. Mercury motors are also great motors. The waste oil thing is unavoidable.

Gregor Miller - 8 years ago

If you get the waterproof push-button remote, you can tow yourself skiing.

Red Rider7 - 8 years ago

Great review Nut'n, but the problem with a two-stroke is most of the lakes here in the Tahoe area no longer allow them. Even if they are cleaner running.

Ducaso - 8 years ago

I hope we get to see more boating reviews and vids in the future, I was enthralled.

Will Jones - 8 years ago

hey what are you using for recording your audio??? gopro???camera??

E Moore - 8 years ago

Cool! But I can't keep my inflatable air mattress from getting a hole. That is why i am running a small 16 foot aluminum with 50 HP Mercury in river and lakes.

Mike Hale - 8 years ago

long shaft for sail... ----- Linwood Bay, Flaming Gorge?? Bear??? hard to tell.... I can't imagine that boat taking a 50hp ---- We had a 27' hardtop we kept on Flaming Gorge when the weather got to hot a Powell, we spent 4 days each and every month for a number of years.. zzi really miss it, alot... It was named "VELVET & WATER"

mixflip - 8 years ago

this is a true adventure channel. I first came here for the guns (in 2009)....in love the adventure motorcycle vids....and I am happy to see boat videos! I have a wife and 3 kids....would you recommend a boat as a secondary bug out vehicle? we live in Vegas near Lake meade.

wordingreenville - 8 years ago

I haven't watched many videos lately. Glad to see Allie Dog still gettin' it.

Tony Robbins - 8 years ago

The do make a hydrofoil wing that will allow you to stay more level at slower speeds. I had a 16 foot aluminum flat bottom boat with an 8hp motor and the previous owner said I couldn't use it solo because it would nose up at all speeds. With a hydrofoil it would plane out at any speed by myself and allow me to take it in even shallower water than it could previously handle.

DanOfTheNorth - 8 years ago

Man that thing is loud! I'm used to 4 stroke Yamaha's since I work with them. As far as the steering friction thing, there should be a nut where the lever pivots that you can tighten up to add some friction.
With the lower unit siting too low, you will loose a lot of speed. My 14' aluminum with a 4 stroke 15hp yamaha runs 24mph on my garmin GPS. With a shorter shaft, I'll bet you'd pick up 5mph. The cavitation plate above the prop should be close to being flush with the bottom of the hull.

stompnu1 - 8 years ago

for 2 days nothing but zodiac research. cool thing is my girl is on board. 11g for the mark 3 with a 60 hp motor. this boat will be a blast.. now got to get the funds.

blastard - 8 years ago

I wish I had the money for a zodiac. I ended up going with a Saturn sd330w with the max rated 15hp outboard. Great build quality, but it's slow as Christmas. Gets me out on the water though, so it's not all bad. Speed tubes and aluminum deck are the two biggest features I wish it had.

Devyn Dickinson - 8 years ago

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome, loved this video, it realy expanded on the adventure side of the nutnfancy project. Would love to see the gear you bring with you on a boat.

Layne Sellers - 8 years ago

So good to see dogness.

Stephen Maurer - 8 years ago

Small boats are fun!!! I have a 15 ft Starcarft with a 9.8 hp Nissan for fishing!! Great little bass/walleye boat

Red Rider7 - 8 years ago

@Stephen Maurer Thank you for your response and information!

Stephen Maurer - 8 years ago

Yes, Works will on lakes and fresh water. It not a speed demon... just gets me to my fav fishing spots!!

Red Rider7 - 8 years ago

Is that 9.8 Nissan of yours enough engine to get that size boat up on plane? We have a 9.9 Honda Four that was purchased with a 25' Catalina sailboat and never used, and I was considering buying a small motor boat to get some use out of the motor. Just wondering.

lordaleksandre - 8 years ago

I'm a TNPr whose really into fishing and boats. This review is totally relevant to me, because my Honda BF30 is getting up in years and hours, and I was curious if the E-Tec would be a better repower option. It sounds like it has lots of good qualities. Thank you for the video.

Anderson Potter - 8 years ago

I like the boat stuff

SURGE1898 - 8 years ago

Im a long time subscriber and love fishing and boating. Here in the North West we use mostly aluminum boats and these smaller 2 strokes work perfect for the application. I'm looking at purchasing this same motor in the video so it's awesome to see you reviewing one, so thanks man really helped my decision. Your set up looks very nice and it's cool to see you and your dog enjoying the water. Would be cool to see more boating videos every once and a while and maybe a rod in hand haha. Thanks Nut'n.

lordaleksandre - 8 years ago

These motors are closer to Honda 4 strokes in physical size and weight, but it sounds like they might make peak torque a bit lower in the RPM band. I surely miss the old small (<25hp) 2-stroke outboards.

Justin Filson - 8 years ago

Hey Nutn' long time TNPer here what are your thoughts on jetpump outboards? (other than added cost)

Peter Konrad Konneker - 8 years ago

Sweet setup. I want a zodiac of some flavor someday. They are so so cool.

John Wesley - 8 years ago

All you need to raise your motor is a "jack" plate. They are used mostly on bass boats but would solve your problem.

replicantargent - 8 years ago

Where is the kill switch tether location on that Evinrude? While I'm not anywhere near a Safety Sally, on a boat that small, it doesn't take much to have a bad accident, even with a guy your size. The Circle of Death is no joke, and no one wants a Spiral Cut Nutn ham.

These boating vids are epic especially with the inclusion of dogness! Enjoying my morning coffee on the lake!

Jordan Denmark - 8 years ago

This is great

ANTIVNM - 8 years ago

In my opinion, 4 stroke has come a long way, but still requires almost twice as many cc's to make the same power, the power still doesn't come on as quick as a 2 stroke, are lot more complicated, usually more expensive, and require a lot more maintenance! For me, 2 stroke is still the way to go!

Good choice nutn

Dusty Robertson - 8 years ago

Hey Nutn, i don't know if they make them for a boat that big but here in Aus we use a fibreglass hard floor for our IRB's (Inflatable Rescue Boats), those hulls i find have the perfect combo of stiffness for stability and flexibility, its only segmented at the bow so it allows flex and we run them in the surf all day. Maybe you should check that option out because i've heard the metal floors flex a lot

how much does the setup cost?

do you have to have it all registered ?

what RPM does that engine cruise at? how much fuel does that tank hold?

looks fun.. thanks for the video!

Derek Grimard - 8 years ago

that is so awesome. keep up the great work

JB Yuppiefish76 - 8 years ago

I believe that it would handle a 50 just fine. Maybe not plane out as fast as with the 30. Not sure if tabs would be possible for ya on that particular inflatable. Great vid sir.

Jared Davis - 8 years ago

Why would you want this over a Jon boat for the same price? I worry if a fishing hook or knife would puncture the plastic and have a air leak. Or if someone were to shoot it (I know; highly unrealistic), then it would pop. Right?

p51mustang24 - 8 years ago

It's some seriously tough material, see it in person and you will be suprised. I believe the inflated tubes are usually segmented as well, so a single puncture will not sink you.

TheBCSledder - 8 years ago

Yeah, inflated boats make me nervous, although keep in mind the materials used are almost always tougher than they look.

I have never owned a tiller steer boat. Can you not adjust the trim while you are underway?

Corey McConville - 8 years ago

my grandpa has an electric trim on his 40hp johnson so they do exist i've even seen a 115 hp e-tec tiller steer with one

lordaleksandre - 8 years ago

I've not seen electric trim, even on big (60hp+) tiller steers, but I'm sure it exists. I'd be surprised to find it on 30 and under.

Corey McConville - 8 years ago

yes some you can adjust while moving others you have to manually adjust while stopped usually lower hp ones have manual trims like 25 hp and 15

lordaleksandre - 8 years ago

Not really, you have two trim adjustments. One that you adjust roughly based on the hull design you're mounted on, and one that you set at idle based on the water conditions. Generally the compromise is acceptable with small boats, because the ideal hole shot trim and the smooth water high speed planing trim are close enough together. And of course, rough water affects small boats more greatly.

Oblivion Tactical - 8 years ago

dubgrug89 - 8 years ago

Hey Nutn, thanks for the vid. Why did you decide to go with an inflatable boat vs. a hard body?

dubgrug89 - 8 years ago

nevermind, commented before it was over. I disagree on price though, you can get used boats really cheap. But you're in that there is less stuff to break.

Zeke770 - 8 years ago

That really is a sweet looking inflatable! The aluminum deck looks pretty stable too.

nutnfancy - 8 years ago

Thanks. The deck does help a lot. There's lots of great inflatable boats that will LOOK like this one but only Zodiac Futura has the speed tubes.
