 Re: Looking to get a new frame
They build a nice frame at a good price text them at the number on their site and they can get you pics of the new frame.

 Looking to get a new frame
I'm not knocking backwaters in fact I have nothing bad to say about them. I am not a Mayhem owner or dealer but I do have one being built. I did a lot of research on long tails including backwater but chose Mayhem because of the quality in the frame and shaft/bearing design.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
From the looks of mayhem's website and lack of pictures they have a lot to hide.....

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
I don't think their prop shaft is long enough. They should add 4"  Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
Someone drop the ban hammer on Mayhem73. Anyone who'd recommend that longtail, much less recommend it over a Back Water or even a Go-Devil must have a screw loose.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
I guess it would be alright as long as you never ran grass, or stumps, or rocks, or mud, or shallow water.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
I'm no engineer, but damn, don't they know putting that bend in that piece decreases the lateral strength of the cavitation plate pushing against it? I've never in my life seen a crooked dick gusset.
