Wow. im impressed that this is only 6.5 hp

[@captainpegs07]

Why would one choose the surface drive over the twister?

[@ericbest9562]

There is videos compairing the two, price is one, long tails are cheaper. Speed is another, surface drives tend to be faster per same HP. There are pros and cons for them both

I thank you very very very quickly for the answer I have a 13 hp engine fan size to match it and it will be fast

I recently bought a fixer upper 1972 14' jon boat and I'm trying to decide whether to go with the standard longtail or the twister. I see you've had both. Any chance you could list pros and cons of both? I have a brand new 208CC electric start PowerHorse engine that I'll be using. Given the length of the boat I'm included to go with the twister to help cut down on overall length but I'd like your thoughts on the matter if you don't mind.

+Jesse Klaus you'll have more speed and versatility with the standard long tail but the twister operates more like a outboard. It depends on what you are trying to do with it. What type of environment do you plan on using it in?

[@JesseKlaus]

It'll mainly be used for putting around in a lake, will occasionally explore up the creeks that feed into the lake. During duck season it'll be used to get out into flooded fields. I may also use it in brackish / salt water - not sure if either is better suited for that. I'm also really starting to wonder if a 6HP is going to be enough. When my wife comes with me it doesn't need to be fast, but does need to have enough to fight a head wind. We're coming from kayaking so about anything will be faster than we're used to. Thoughts?

[@MADSLife]

+Jesse Klaus I think you would be happy with the twister, it's slower but also comfortable to putt around with. The long tail isn't hard to use but definitely requires more effort than the twister. If you aren't looking to be jumping obstacles you'll be happy with the twister

[@JesseKlaus]

Do you think the shaft of the twister will handle salt exposure alright? I also just realize you stated you were in NC in one of your videos. I live on Jordan Lake, any chance you're in the area?

[@MADSLife]

+Jesse Klaus I know where it is, I'm over by Charlotte. I haven't tried it in salt water before. I don't think it'll hold up as well as the long tail for the long tail is a galvanized tube, the inner shaft will rust but nothing too concerning. The parts inside are wood bushings so that won't be affected. The drive of the twister I think is a spring so that might bind some of rusted.
