Re: What Longtail kit would yall diehards pick??? Backwater!
I liked the first one so much I bought another one, as have several others. If you see it side by side with anything else there's no comparison. _________________ 35 Swomp on a 17-52 Alweld on a crusty old trailer you probably shouldn't follow too close 10hp Swomp lite 14-36 alumacraft |

Re: What Longtail kit would yall diehards pick??? I had a 20hp on a 14/36 and did just fine. Just watch it on sharp turns. I dont think and extra 2 hp is gonna effect anything

Re: What Longtail kit would yall diehards pick??? Backwater for sure. I run a 23 Swomp on a 1448. It has been a pretty perfect setup for me. About 20 with 2 guys and no load, about 14-15 with 2 guys and 4 doz deeks, gear and a blind.

Re: What Longtail kit would yall diehards pick??? SWOMP is a great frame! More reinforced than the others. Easiest to adjust cavitation plate

Re: What Longtail kit would yall diehards pick??? Having started back in 1987 with a 18 HP GoDevil Briggs LT on a rickety 1435 jon boat- survived that- and two more 25 HP GD's and an MB 27 at present, there is only one answer back at you and that is BackH20!! I suggest a long think over your choice as to motor and horses- obviously if you are on a tight budget, the DIY will be less$ and more fun perhaps
 , but I suggest get all the horses you can afford! A 23 Swomp Briggs might be a better choice when you add up all the costs._________________ Sailing in the sawgrass /1648 grizzly and Swomp 26.5 EFI |
