I'm looking at the lure 11.5 and 13.5 and trying to decide between the two. Would you say one is significantly easier to paddle than the other or are they about the same?
@BamaoutdoorsКүн бұрын
@elaskowski2 really it's not that much deferent to me. I'm not a big guy 5'9 185lbs and I really like the room on the 13.5. I've used it Fishing tournaments and overnight camping and the little extra room is nice to have. If I had to do it again I would go with the 13.5

Thanks for the tip. Have the bolts remained tight? Stainless steel hardware in some applications always work loose, and will require a red threadlocker to stay tight. And as most mechanically-minded folks know, red threadlocker always brings its own problems.
@Bamaoutdoors3 күн бұрын
So far so good. If it gives me any trouble I may try and use some blue threadlock first.

I likely a weird fella ! The one thing I do not quite understand or agree with is ! A long tail ! A taiwanese long tail ! It not a MUD MOTOR ! I like taiwanese long tails ! I think they a very capable and inexpensive ! I even own one myself ! I also own long tail go devils ! A long tail go devil is a beast in the mud and it not afraid to pick a fight with a stump or a log either ! The prop on a taiwanese long tail is somewhat delicate to be truly in the mud and it ought not pick fights with stumps or logs ! My point is ! A taiwanese long tail and a MUD MOTOR are two different animals ! I in south louisiana ! We got mud here ! Most often ! We call what yall call rivers ditches ! Rivers here are a bit wider :) A good bit wider !
@BamaoutdoorsАй бұрын
Them are some valid points. I think the Tai long tails are a good inexpensive way to get into the game. The Go devil brand is well built from what I've heard and the price reflects that lol. I've not had any trouble with mine at all so I would say it's well built. I would like to get a surface drive one day and try that out.

@@Bamaoutdoors I think a Tai long tail is a fine boat motor ! I think one will take you most anywhere you need to go ! More to it than just inexpensive or get started ! Damn fine engine for a boat to fish or camp or go shallow or whatever ! The weakest thing I see on them is the knockoff engines ! For not really that much more a fella could have a real quality japanese engine that will run many times longer than the knockoff ! The japanese engines are really built to higher tolerances out of better materials and are well balanced ! They might cost twice as much but will run many times longer ! In as far a tai long tails go ! SPS is the top dog there in Thailand It every Thais dream a SPS with a GX 390 honda ! They there have a engine called the Honda GX390T2 QBP Mega ! It not for export to the U.S. Anyway it a hot tuned variable load ignition timing and a honda claimed horsepower of 15 plus and a max rpm of 5000 ! Yes I a huge fan of Tai long tails ! Thing is ! They not a typical outboard and they not a go devil either :)
