| Post subject: | new motor |
going to purchase a new mud motor this week. I have searched and searched, but still torn I have narrowed the list down to these two options. copperhead 12 with the lct engine or the copperhead 14 with the kohler 14hp… the motor will go on a flat bottom alumacraft 1436. looking to get the best speed/load carrying ability. any advice, or review of someone who has ran both would be helpful thank you. |

A friend of mine had the 18 it would push his 1548 23-25 mph lite load. I would just get the 14. Contact copperhead and ask the preferred hp size for your boat. 14 shouldn't be to big |

Ive got the copperhead with the briggs motor on it. I think it is roughly a 14 hp motor. Its rated in ft lbs of torque but is only 9 cc smaller than the kohler motor i believe. Anyway it pushes me and my 14 ft fiberglass boat 21 so its pretty quick for what it is. They seem to be a well built motor ive had it for a year and customer service seems to be pretty good as well. |

After careful consideration. I called and spoke with the company LCT has revamped the design of the engines and complaints are minimal at the time; over a year since the remodel of engine. I decided to go with the 12hp for two reasons: 1- copperhead recommended it over the 14. 2- it has remote fuel option. Now on to the service thus far. Top notch is all I can say. It was the most informative and easy sale of a product ever. Josh was more than happy to answer all my questions and wasn't trying to rush me off the phone or to a sales department. I will post an in depth review once the motor arrives. Thank you for your responses. |
