Post 2 New SWOMP motors on the way!!!
Just ordered my new 35 SWOMP SS. While I was at it I ordered a SWOMP LITE Glider Kit that I'm gonna put a 6.5 Predator on. Both should be here by Friday. I'm putting the 35 on my 1648 War Eagle and I'm gonna put the 6.5 on a little 1440 riveted Polar Kraft. Both rigs will receive full reviews. I'm excited to see what they'll do!

I never drove one but I saw one and it looked faster than a normal long tail. Is it easier to drive?

Do you not miss the extra reach of the long shaft? I'm wanting to upgrade to a 35 swomp myself and I know they recommend the ss for short transom boats but I can imagine not having the reach that my go devil has now. I don't understand why the ls is recommended for tall transom boats.

Do the covers look like they can hold up to trailering?

Got the motor mounted and rigged up. I won't get to put it in the water until Saturday but just firing it up while on the trailer, all I can say is holy crap. Moving from a 23 to a 35 puts you in a whole new ball game!!!! Here is a picture to hold everyone over until I can give a proper review after this weekend. Plus I'll get a chance to assemble my SWOMP LITE.

MNGunner, Back Water has a new 18 minute video on their website showing assembly. I'll do my best though!
