I recently picked up a 1442 Weldbilt Crawdad and I'm looking to put a longtail on the back of it for hunting some muddy and weed choked areas here in West Michigan. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Back Water SWOMP Lite but I'm trying to figure out what size to go with. Would the 23 be too much weight for a boat like mine? Would I be better off with just getting the kit and putting a 13hp Predator on it to save some lbs? As for payload, I hunt alone 90+% of the time and at most with 1 other person. I tend to hunt pretty light: gun, shells, blind bag, push pole, 2 dozen or so decoys, and the previous owner put a pop-up blind on the boat that I'm planning to keep so that adds a couple pounds as well. Any advice on what direction to go with the motor would be appreciated. |

Backwater lists the lite 23 (160#) for a 1442 boat hull and up. I would call the good folks at Backwater and get some good advice as far as your needs and motor selection! |

If I recall correctly, I don't think the weight increase from a 13HP to a 23HP is very much at all. |

I had a 27 mudbuddy on a boat just like that. You will be fine with a 23. |
