Re: the limit of a longtail? As far as where can they get you? They can get you anywhere your boat will float and the prop will grab.
If the boat is not floating and you can't get the prop down into the water, you ain't going anywhere.
Find your local dealer and take out a demo for a few hours.
I haven't found one person dissapointed in what a mud motor will do.

Re: the limit of a longtail? Best description I have heard is:
"The LT and SD are both like extreme 4x4s the
LT is stuck in 1st gear and the SD is stuck in 2nd"

Re: the limit of a longtail? Is it pretty hard bottom? I think you will be alright with an 11hp

Re: the limit of a longtail? It will push you in there, not fast but it should get you in. I ran a 9hp for the past 6 years in stuff just like that.
