What's a good expensive combo to run mostly rivers some mud flats max 3 people on a 14 ft johnboat and I would like to see 20mph .. I'm thinking 13hp predertor 420cc or the "duromax" 16hp" not sure what makes more power I plan on drilling jets, exhaust, intake etc ... Love the vanguard just can't afford it ... Looking at the mud skipper / sps longtails |

Don't get that mud-skipper . That frame is shit . The sps Swamp Runner kit is better . The Frame is heavier duty . The transom mount is stronger and has a deeper grab on your Transom . Also you have zerk fittings on the swamp runner unlike the mud-skipper . |

Ok I ended up buying the sps longtail, talked to the owner super nice guy super knowledgable on these long tail set ups... Paired it up with the duromax 16hp yea it's a cheap route but should work fine until I blow it up. I plan on removing governer with the basic engine mods intake,exhaust, jets etc if wonder if I will gain rpms when I remove governer |

I'll bet it doesn't even plane with three guys. Hope I'm wrong but if you expect 20 with three you might need to dial down expectations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am guessing 10 mph with gear. You will be plowing with three guys and gear. Is there any way to bump up to a longer boat our ditch your buddies |
