I cannot tell you enough about these guys in small town Covington, La. These are the best guys to do business with and do everything they can to please the customer. I picked up my motor on Saturday (From Birmingham), chatted with them an hour, and wished we could have stayed to go riding. If I ever have to do business again, I would like for them to give me the excellent service like I got from Copperhead. Not to mention their product is bad@$$! |

Yea it was the 6.5 modded out, I want to see the larger motor like the 12 or 18 modded out. I hit 22 with mine running two people and gear. |

i believe 30 is possible with the 18 on the "right" boat weighing probably 250ibs. however it would be scary going any faster in a lil boat like that, in them 1436 jons its more or less sit down surfing rather than riding in a boat |

Been busy...Last week of teaching so its been paperwork a mile high! Ran it last week and hit 20 in deep water...Mind you this is a 1636 boat made in 1978. Bottom is in incredible shape and not washboarded. I am buying parts starting hopefully this week or next. I will be posting a video of the adventure along the way. |

Well...I used to have a 13 but gill and josh @ copperhead said itvwas putting out about 8. So today I finished putting a 16 hp head on and running out on the lake Saturday. Video will be posted that evening I have the same weight as a 13 and same modifications can be done except I'm starting with 28 rated ft/lbs of torque at 2500 rpm and 16 hp. Could be interesting |

http://static.photobucket.com/player.sw ... 950375.mp4 This is stage 1 which we took the governor out and installed HD valve springs which are I think 32lbs. This is on a 16x36 riveted jon with 2 people and river ratting gear (noodles, cooler, and rods/tackle). Sorry for grainy footage, iphone don't film good! Lol |

So. Now I'm trying to get a wider and probably shorter boat. Hoping this will allow me to get a little more speed and ability to haul more weight. |

Wider yes, shorter no. |

Post subject: | Re: Copperhead Mud Motors |
I have now bought a 1542 allweld tracker...I also got a 23hp gdlt in the buy so I have it to get rid of. It needs a little work but it is in decent shape. Can't wait to strap my copperhead to the new rig |
