 test drive
Anyone have a copperhead or a smaller surface drive that would be good on a 1448 that I can test drive. Debating between getting another long tail and getting a surface drive.

 Re: test drive
Go straight to copperhead in Covington. They'll ride you around and show you their operation.
I have a 14 but I'm a long drive from you. There was an 18 at the SETX run that I think was from around the Port Arthur area.

 Re: test drive
I wanna see how it handles on my boat. I think it would be a good fit being my boat is so light.

 Re: test drive
Fastest motor on the market for the hp. But it sucks in vegetation, has no frills, and they don't like to stop in the mud. It has advantages and dusadvantages. If you want a simple light fast small surface drive with good customer service go for copperhead.

 Re: test drive

 Re: test drive
I was VERY impressed by the things the longtail crew were doing at SETX.

 Re: test drive
I like my long tail, just tired of the wide turns and staying on top of that handle the whole time
