Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv 18hp Copperhead would be perfect since its relatively light... but you are using a mod-v so know one knows how well it will work

Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv I've got the same hull (except a 1442). I was just about to order a 23 hp backh2o longtail until common sense took over and told me not to spend the money with only a month left of the season. But i will probably be putting one on for next year. If you end up with a copperhead I'd like to know the performance since it is a fairly unique hull shape. It is mostly flat bottom except for the mod v which is only in the rake.

Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv I was also thinking about the backwater but just don't know what hp to get. I've bein doing a lot of research and found that the backh2o will push faster than almost all other LTs, and with a lot less maintenance. But I would also like the surface drive because of the speed but I don't want to order one and find that it wont perform how id like it to.

Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv 23 Copperhead will work for you.

Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv What about any LT ideas, or will the surface drive perform better?

Re: what hp mud motor for a 1448 polar kraft mv Depends on your conditions. I like longtails for a majority if what i do, although I've only ran a few surface drives. The longer runs I've got are manageable with the longtail, but it shines when you get on windy tight trails and you need the reach.
