 1548 weldbilt crawdad
About to buy a 1548 I'm trying to decide what size motor I want to get. Leaning towards a mud motor. Open to a LT or SD
wanted to see if anyone runs a Crawdad, if so what hp/ brand and what performance your getting. I hunt 2-3 guns light gear and a fat dog
Thanks

 Re: 1548 weldbilt crawdad
That boat is gonna be tight with that load. Keep in mind that those crawdad boats are .080" aluminum unless you special order it with .100".

 Re: 1548 weldbilt crawdad
Coupe has one. , I've run it , it's stout if you go thicker hull. , depends on your needs and areas hunting in ( stumps ). . As far as a longtail , check out backwater . Also remember ribbed bottom vs smooth , we've put gatorglide on coupes and it slides of stumps and logs easier , but with a ribbed bottom if you catch something and ride up on you can't slide off sideways as easy. .
