[QUOTE="Redfox, post: 5831053, member: 23184"] There’s really nothing fun about a long tail. It’s about like being in a bar fight with your hands tied. They do their job in mud/stumps/logs but rocks will eat the prop up in short order. I wouldn’t want to make any rough water voyages if I could avoid it. If you’re talking shallow/rocky/swift rivers I would recommend a jet long before the mud motor. With long tails you gotta really work at trying to making sharp turns. I have only used them on short transom boats but idk if it really matters. I currently have a 20hp on a very light 1648 and it’s a slug with any kind of load. [/QUOTE]
