 Re: Long Tail
I used to run the same setup. It will work. I was always gonna get pods but got a new boat and motor instead. move gas and battery up front and run it

 Re: Long Tail
thanks elmerfudd i thought if i just stuck my buddy up front i would be fine i was getting worried cuss on the trailer it wants to pop up in the front and i was hoping it wouldn't do that in the water as well.

 Re: Long Tail
Well it rode ass heavy there is no doubt about that but it worked. As far as I know the guy I sold it to is still runnin it as is. I was gonna put pods on the boat but bought bigger boat instead. I had a very light pop up blind on the boat I am sure that helped. Watch how much gear you are runnin with We always took the bare bones. Now with the new boat we are a little more comfy

 Re: Long Tail
I run a 23 hp gdlt on a 14/48 and it's fine put the tank ip front for sure and make your buddy sit in the middle if you get to much weight up front you will be eating every wake that comes along trust me I know.
