Hey guys,

I'm brand new to the sight and I am looking for advice.

Friday I'm picking up an 18hp v twin Vanguard motor to build a longtail for my 16x48.
I'm planning on doing all the welding myself and I'm wanting to go with a tubular design similar to the S.W.O.M.P. series by Backwater inc.

So here's my question..
Does anyone know where I could get aftermarket parts for this motor such as exhaust, air intake kits, etc.?

And if anyone has advice on building a longtail like this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Check out tha engines section and theres info on mods for small motors
