short tail faster, turns better and easyer to run

personally, i miss my longtail, a little slower, but for what i do, it was perfect

longtail, slower, but you can torque it down to help lift the back end of your boat outta some serious chit.
id prob buy a prodrive if i were to buy a mudmotor tomorrow.

Drive both where you spend 90% of your time, then decie for yourself. I like my shorttail and would never go back to a longtail, but PhoneMan really would go back to his long tail. His in timber and stumps with less big water and shorter runs, where as I ussualy have longer runs across open water. A long tail takes sometime to get used to also!

Had a long tail, it was a love hate relationship. No reverse and no neutral sucked, I could go through about anything ... Just not very fast. I got rid of it and went back to outboards and ill prolly never get another mm.
