 Just Joined Hey guys, I wanted to first and foremost say hello I'm from SETX. Just got my first mud motor and boat today and wanted to see y'alls opinions on it. It's a 23 hp Vanguard on a go-devil on a 1648. I got it on a buddy deal from the man who introduced me to duck hunting and would like to hear some opinions on the motor. i know GTR, Pro-Drive and Mud-Buddy, are the more popular but this was more in my budget so i jumped on it.

Re: Just Joined Welcome to mmt!
That's a good entry level rig and should do everything you need other than breaking any speed records!

Re: Just Joined I think everyone should own a long tail for a while. I liked mine.

Re: Just Joined Sounds like a solid setup. I ran a 20hp on a 1548 for a while, and smaller longtails before that before joining here... I've since moved to a bigger boat and surface drive to fit the needs of a growing family and more fishing interest.... Anyway, where'bouts in SETX are you? Where do you normally run?

Re: Just Joined welcome man.
GDs are a solid motor, just don't had all the bells and whistle like the others but those things make for more problems. those GDS are hard to kill.

Re: Just Joined Welcome aboard!
Like some of the above, my first experience with mud motors was with a long tail. My brother's 23 Vanguard Godevil on a 1432 jon boat. He still has it and use it often. I've since moved to a GT on a 1648 and love it. You're gonna love that long tail. It'll go anywhere within reason, and in some cases, where a SD may not.

Re: Just Joined Welcome.
There is good information here and the people here are way overboard funny too.
