Thinking about purchasing a long tail pre built kit from Bog Hog. I have a 20hp honda that id like to use for the engine. Anyone done this before? Anyone know of any other internet dealers that I could purchase this type of kit from? I might be interested in a short motor setup too. what are your thoughts guys.

Mud Buddy, Beavertail

Don't remember who it was, but somebody on here was thinkin about pullin the motor from their lt and sellin the frame.

From what I heard, Bog Hog is out of buisness.

Why not build your own from scratch?

I dont have a welder or the time to build one from scratch. I have a 16hp mud buddy now. Im thinking about selling it and going with a longer frame and a 20 honda. As my boat is a 19" transom hight.

I think you would get better preformance out of a short transom 1 or 2 feet longer than that 14 ( maybe a 42 or 44 wide ) with that motor.

Look around for a good deal It would be a whole lot cheaper than buyin a new motor and its arguable all longtails preform best on a short transom boat anywho.

bog hog is still goin. but its not a complete frame- its a kit that requires some welding and fitting. not sure about the new mgt at beavertail- seems like theyd rather build a lawnmower trailer and I never could buy a kit from em (couldnt ever talk to anybody that knew. I even talked to the prez for quite a whille but he didnt even know) get a mud buddy. it comes very complete and they are super to deal with. they build some very nice products. Ive had a MB lt and it was very nicely built.
