Mud-skipper Longtail Mud Motor 8-16hp Kit Honda Gx390 - **free Shipping *** on 2040-parts.com

THIS KIT CURRENTLY SHIPS THE LOWER 48 STATES FOR FREE!

Longtails have been the low cost alternative to thousands of boaters in the Far East for years. They are used by commercial fisherman and hunters and are well known for travel in shallow and muddy waters. More recently, American duck hunters have discovered that they are ideal for powering LAYOUT & SNEAK BOATS into shallow areas, and they leave a low overall profile. The Chinese have developed huge commercial tourist attractions as these simple motors have been strapped to the ancient style bamboo river rafts, fitted with seating so that folks can enjoy the sights of the many rivers as they wind through the countryside. These rafts have now evolved and plastic sewer pipes are used to make the rafts, making a cheap and reliable mode of transport.
