@@johnpaulk994 You want the prop resting in the wake of the boat. Wider the boat, further back the wake meets. That is how these longtails are designed. Got a bunch on my website about these - www.BeaverDamMudRunners.com
Riveted or welded boat? Do you know the weight of the dry hull? I’m looking at a Lowe 1648 welded and planning on building a 22 HP. Live in East Tx by Toledo and Rayburn. Lots of river duck hunting but curious on ability and weight on big water.
Yes and No. It all depends on the application as to what the hp is. Honda used to advertise it as a 13hp but I think they got sued or something. I never pay attention to the advertised hp rating. I look at how many cc’s the engine is.

Great video , Robert
Top speed?
On that boat, about 15mph. Some people get up to 18mph
Was that taken on Lake Washington in MS?
no but on an oxbow in North MS
Got to be around Tunica then with the Beaver Dam name.
Are you still running that longtail
yep
Got stuck in the beginning
yep but I got unstuck. Showing how to use these! lol
Hi hello
With a 13 you would do better with a narrower boat.
Minion Man true, all longtails run better on a narrow boat. I’m not going far so it does the job for me
Robert Milner do you care to explain why they run better on a narrow boat?

Caleb Wade riveted. It seems pretty light but not sure the weight. Welded will be heavier obviously. 22hp would be good.
Robert Milner cool thanks for the input man
Was looking at the 20hp Honda....and came across the engine I have the gx390...its only 11.7hp...and everyone thinks its a 13hp
