| Post subject: | Motor for 1636 mud hull |
I recently bought a 1636 mud hull it was a really good deal. I'm now looking for the best motor for the boat. I know a 23hp longtail would be good. What about a 23hp copperhead its only 138lbs. Would a 25hp or 27hp longtail be better at 185lbs to 195lbs or would that be to much weight. I will be using it in hard and soft bottom there are a couple of logs and stumps I have read a longtail is good for hard bottoms because of the smaller props serface drive is good for long runs and soft bottoms. I think if the stern squats alot because of the heavy motor it would hurt the shollow water performance. |

Swomp lite frame with a 23 would be the ticket. |

23 copperhead would probably work well if you want the SD route. I put mine on my buddies 1638ish go devil duck skiff and it performed very well. He now runs a 23 swomp and it runs very well, just not nearly as fast unloaded as the copperhead. |

Going to be hard to beat the Backwater Swomp 23 for that boat if you want a long tail. I've also been impressed with the Copperheads I've seen run and think it would be a good choice as well. |

I run a 1536 scullys skiff with a 23 copperhead. Its an awesome little rig. Runs 29-31 with me(depending on current). With me 230lbs, wife 140lbs, kid 75lbs, full 65qt cooler, small tools, and misc things for the day we run 24-25 up current and 26+ down current. |

Thats scootin^^. I ran a 27gdlt on a 1636 for years. Always worked good but was a little too heavy, boat would swamp the back if i wasnt paying attention. Id go swamp lite 23 or copperhead |
