| Post subject: | Hello, and a few questions |
Howdy, first post. I live in Ohio and make a few runs to Arkansas every year. Last year I bought a 14' Alumaweld jon with a 1966 Johnson 20. This past weekend the lower unit froze and I managed to get it jammed in reverse. Now, I'm done with that POS motor. I'd like to build a surface drive for hunting the woods in Arkansas but am unsure of a longtail or short. I am not terribly mechanically inclined but I take instruction well and have access to two state of the art machine shops. I'm thinking aluminum frame. 16-23hp? Briggs, Honda, ?? Trigger or twist throttle? |

I'm guessing your not looking to spend much money on this since you bought a 50 year old outboard........ Buy a used GD longtail and mount it on that boat. It won't be great, but it beats trying to build one. |

Dmax, I have not driven either. I hunt a few times a year in the woods of Arkansas. I do also hunt a few shallow marshes in Ohio on occasion. Mainly I hunt a big deep water reservoir but I'm looking at a big deep v for that. |

Try to drive both before you buy or try to build either. Sent from ******** |
