What are the fastest longtail speeds yall have seen. What boat and motor.

i hit 24 with a stock 31 and worn prop on a 20x44 godevil boat

I had a 19 x 48 with a 20hp on it was running 20mph just me 3 people blind gear to hunt with still ran 18mph so if i would of put a bigger motor prob. would of done a lot better but sold it and trying to get a gator tail

Had a 17x44 Gaudet Skiff with a 25. Best I got was 23.4 by myself.

I got a 1448 with a 23hp go devil that will do 20 with one person 19 with four people just put a k&n so we will see if that helps.

I had a 1654 Polar Kraft with a 27 Go-Daddy that would do 21 but I'm goin to Iowa tomorrow to get a 1650 Xpress with a 35 beavertail and I hope it does good.

Ive reach 15.5 with a g3 and a 16 hp go-devil by myself. High 13's with 2 people, and with 2 people and the 90lbs dog about 12.

Does anybody on here run a 35 LT. Just wonderin if you gained much speed or just torque.

I had a 35 lt for two seasons and it plain whopped my ass,lots of torq,carried a load well for a lt.I cannot give any speeds because the whole time I ran long tails speed was not a concern.

Got a 31 w/EVT Stage 1 mods and with 2 fat boys (250) plus, could maintain around 26 mph in the boat runs. On a 1654 legendcraft.

was able to get 19 mph from my 18x44 with a 25lt

i thought i used to get good speeds with a 24honda beavertail and my 14ft alumacraft, got 22, put one more person in the boat and it would get 16 lol

I had a 1648 Alumacraft with a Honda 24 and the best I got unloaded was 16mph......slow.

Right now I'm getting 15 mph out of my 24 Scavenger on a 1648 Polarkraft, but it hates grass and you can bog it down in the mud. I'm thinking I need a new prop, the one that's on it it is hardly used, but I think them Scavenger props might be junk. Ran 'er in some thick grass today and it just about killed the thing.

I got 42 mph out of my 80 hp vw longtail, tough to hold on to. Low to mid thirties is much more managable.

14/36 alumacraft, 20hp go-devil, solo with the dog we averaged 18 mph, we did hit low to mid 20's going across mud, but that speed wasn't very long. so i guess what i'm sayin is 18.

why does this thread remind me of a 3/4 ton Diesel 4X4 MPG discussion

I have a 25lt on a 16ft with 3 people all i could get was 13ph. It tops out at 3300 rpm. I have a need for speed what do you think is making it so slow. I have duck hunted a long time but im know to the mud motors.

I can easily do 42 mph with my 75 hp Predator that is on a Modified V 1860.
Oh, did I say that its also for sale in the Classifieds section! Check out the pics and specs there.

VW hp, can we see pics?

We get 23mph on GPS with 14'x48 Lowe, with our 29Van swap on 58" GD crawdad frame, With 9x5 Mudbuddy prop@ 4150RPM, with 550# load. Have 9x7 prop coming. Will update when we try it.

Thats in the water, we have to back off throttle to hold it from hitting govenor, have seen rpm go to 4350 before govenor kicked in, 9x5 prop is way to small ,but can plane boat at 3000rpm, have 9x7 coming.

I have a 27hp kholer on a 14x48 semi-v. By myself i run around 25-26 no load.

Today I went out for a ride and got 19.2 with no load just me in the boat I am runnin a 1546 xpress with a 25gdlt with two people and all my gear and his we got 16mph thats with a worn down prop, going to buy a new prop and see what that do. Will post speeds when i get new one.

lol...there are 3 things u can lie about when u become a man...1...how often u have sex with ur old lady 2... how many miles per gallon u get in your truck 3...and how fast your boat goes...I had a 27 hp long tail that was on a 14x32...it was crazy fast! =)
