recently bought a longtail. I am wondering if it is to heavy for a 14 ft. I would say w/o motor it weighs between 100-150 very heavy duty.

what motor is it?

i have a 25hp on a 1448 and i think it could handle more!

i dont have a motor yet..just the frame.im just afraid that its going to weigh to much after i mount a motor to it?

I have a 23 vangaurd on a 14/48 and it is just fine

i run a 1440 with a 16hp gd and i have a friend that runs a 1436 with a 16hp mb and they run ok. i did put on pods however so i could carry more weight.
I was conserned in the beginning too, so i called godevil and talked to warren coco. He said dont drop any smaller an engine. you really dont loose that much weight because the 9-13hp are almost as heavy when you add fuel to the built on gas tanks. Plus he said i'd miss them horses too.

I run a 1436 with a 16GDLT with pods and it runs like a champ. and I'm a reasonably large man. (350+ lbs) and I love my rig.

reasonably large man? dude no disrespect but you a BIG BOY

I run 1444 with a 27hp beavertail and she goes through it just fine.

Good day to all . New to MMT. Been running LT's for several years
I have a 13 HP Beavertail on a G3 15 ft alum jon boat. Boat sits perfcet
in the water. I believe the BT weighs 145 lbs

I ran a 25 hp go devil on a 1456 flat bottom jon/with pods. She ran ok but it sunk twice too. I wouldn't run without pods on your combo. Spring for a set of pods from somewhere you'll need em.

The second time I sunk her in 12' of brown cold water in Mississippi. The only thing showing was my 150 watt hal. driving lights!!!!!!!! Had to have a few of my buddies from down there hep me out. They now call themselves Moon Lake boat recovery.

PS: Moonshine and a bacon and eggs breakfast was had after the raising while the bilge ran. But the shine was apple pie. Mmmmmmmm mmmmmm.

thinking about selling the frame bc i came across another one. What do yall think is a good asking price for a frame?

is it a homemade or production frame, if so what brand?

I'm not to sure. I'm a newby to longtails but I do know its not a go devil. Its very heavy duty if that says anything
