[Tyler23]

i was looking at getting a longtail beavertail 24 honda. does anyone else have this motor and if so how to do you like it? or should i take a look at a different model??? and coments would be great!

i have been around mud motors for years and from what i have seen the go devil is better than the beacertail and the devil has more top end speed

[Tyler23]

so ur saying the go-devils are worth the price because there like a couple hundred bucks more than a beavertail. worth it or not?? hows the 24horse honda motor??

I have had them all Mud Buddy is by far the best and most advanced.

[BudMan]

I agree with your opinion that Mud Buddy is The BEST

[Tyler23]

PRO-DRIVE.....try all the motors before you buy one. darn things are not cheap.

I have a beavertail long tail that I bought last summer. A 13hp honda on a 1548mv riveted jon. A little slow, but does run aprox. 12mph with 2 guys and gear. Fits my needs.

I went with a longtail because of price. Short tails(surface drives) are the newest thing and are special. But also command a special price.

All the brands out there are made of the highest quality, and built to last. I am not brand loyal, and its kind of like Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge to me. Same with the engines that the manufacturers put on they're frames. Some like honda, others kohler, or briggs.

I and other I know running mud motors are happy with they're choices. From 9hp hondas to 35 kohlers.

This post may not help you with your choice, but there is no bad mud motor out there. just personal choice, I guess.

I have a Mudbuddy with the Honda 24HP. I love it! Beats paddling anyday!

i have a beavertail with 13hp honda on a 14ft jon boat like said in earlier post not the fastest but sure will go through alot.

I have a Mud buddy 27 mini. I like it, that being said I'm trying to sell it to move up to a 35 (or bigger) Mud buddy.

yea i really want a long tail with a 23 horse or bigger. but not kohler motors. ive been trying to find a used one but everytime i do something seems to happen when i wanna buy it. so ill just keep looking and if all else fails ill go buy a new 23 vanguard from go-devil

Tyler23, I searched a long time last year to find a motor 20hp or smaller. I watched several hunting forum clasifieds, and craigs list. I contacted a prodrive dealer in minnesota city(winnona)to keep an eye out. I believe its "Big River Prodrive". Also "Midwest Outboard" in hastings.

I would also get in touch with Shroeders Skybuster blinds in St. Peter. He doesn't deal in used motors, but I'm sure he is, or will be aware of used motors in the area for sale.

With so many guys switching to surface drives, and if your patient, you will find a good used motor in the HP range you want.
