Any of yall have a GD crawfish model. Looking at getting a 9hp and wondered if one was better than the other. Will be on a 1436 weldbilt crawdad. Be used mainly for small creeks and some tight timber.

I had one last year and I couldn't really see a difference

Any of yall still run a 9hp honda GD? I want a small rig that still has the ass to push 2 guys through grass or a little mud. Looking more for torque really than speed. It will be on about a 125lb boat

I had one like 30 years ago. it was bulletproof. it had a gear reduction and I think the prop stopped at idle.
not as fast as a straight drive, but turns a bigger prop.

bought it off a crackhead for 100$ and it looked brand new.

sold it after a hunting season, was scared it was hot.

it would plane a 14' joboat with one man. don't remember how it did with 2.

Thanks for the info. If i can get this prodrive sold im going back to the old longtail. Most call me stupid but it works better for me

whatever works for you man, everybody's different


good luck

I've seen a longtail run circles around a stuck sd! Definitely a work horse!

I'm running a moded subaru ex27 9 hp with a mikuni 22mm carb and air filter on a light 1436 waco I does pretty good it will be even better once I get the cav plate straightened out main reason I want a longtail is to cross beaver dams and still have prop in the water I was able to jump this dam bother directions riding solo but not so much with my portly sidekick lol
