Post Longtail Mudmotor on a boat with a huntdeck
Okay honest question for you gurus.

I have an 1860 Gatortail Extreme; I know it wouldn't be optimal to run a 40hp long tail on it; but how would it perform (due to funds)

I know it wouldn't bust any speed records.... but the budget doesn't lend to a Surface Drive unit.

Or should I stick with an Outboard?

Your needs should drive that decision. A big longtail will push that boat fine, but what are your needs and expectations? It's not gonna hit 40mph, but it should push 3 people and a hunt load around 20 in that boat.

If you can use an outboard for the type of hunting you do, stick with that.
