Saw this on facebook over in Belfair. No engine long tail for sale. I do not know anything about it or prices they go for. Just thought I would pass it on.

Thats for a 212cc engine… kits go from about 350$~1000$…..

Im looking at the larger end of things, thinking of going with a 23hp V twin motor

Mainly looking to use the described setup on the lower skagit delta, shallow mudflat marshy areas

I love duck hunting, but am tired with the crowds and think it’s s great budget option…. Whos to say an electric trolling motor wont work for retrieving dekes and ducks… my 10 footer with my old 8hp tohatsu just doesn’t work for 2 people and gear. Got about a 5000$ budget for a boat n motor

I was thinking a mud motor but after reading enough about the fact we have sand delta's and not mud it made me look at other options.  Ended up with a prop on a jack plate, havent run it yet so we will see.
The sand really sharpens the prop, it was so sharp my dog cut his foot badly on it and had to go to the vet to close it up.  I ended up getting a new prop as I lost so much steel off the old one the boat's performance suffered.  My replacement of an E-Tec wasn't great as I couldn't find a jet pump for it and it was a 25" shaft on a 20" transom.  I have been thinking of adding a jack plate that I can use to adjust the prop depth.  It was installed at the right height but has a good bit of the mount above the transom.  I could also build up the transom but am on the fence about that. I hope your jack plate experience works out - would love to hear how it goes for you before I sink $$ into one.
