 Long tail with reverse.
Does anyone in the good ole USA make a reverse like this?
Search Youtube for. RABETA COM RÉ
Looks like a small transmission between the motor and the shaft.

 Re: Long tail with reverse.
No. But that is a blatant rip off of a GTR!

 Re: Long tail with reverse.
I did not look at the video but Go-Devil told me they tested it years ago but it never went to market. As I remember it was on a small engine.

 Re: Long tail with reverse.
Correct me if Im wrong but wouldnt the prop dig down until it hit the stops on the engine bracket then swamp the transon as it continued to dig deeper into the water, or worse, mud?

 Re: Long tail with reverse.
As I remember, that's about what Coco said happened. Dragged the transom down.

 Re: Long tail with reverse.
My suggestion would be to get a good PUSH POLE.

 Re: Long tail with reverse.

He had foot steering on his crawfish boats. We still use one today.

I got buddy that had one for years!! Big giant steering wheel about 2' diameter to make the motor go up and down you push the console forward and pull it back to put it back down.. The steering was in the front

Never seen one with a steering wheel. Ours steers with a horizontal square foot bar.
