Anyone know of someone trying to sell a 23+ hp long tail in good shape. Would consider a surface drive as well.

Just got the estimate on replacing drive tube and other parts considering replacing it instead

Can you give more details on your motor?
Brand, hours, what happened...

Keep an eye on the classifieds on mudmotortalk.com

27 hp longtail

23 hp longtail

Basically the drive tube needs to be rebuilt with a new drive shaft, universal joint, upper and lower bearings and seals, and a new propeller(worn).

Current motor runs fine. Vanguard 23hp, several years old, not sure the date atm. What happened: normal wear and tear. Just have a lotta hours on it. It's been making a pretty good racket on the lower off and on for a while

Thanks for taking a look at the motors, but both of those where posted in 2009

How much do you want for it as is?

Probably won't sell unless I find a reasonably priced replacement. Can't justify a new $4k replacement SD (even though I'd love it) when I could get this one in tip top shape under $1k

Gotcha. Keep an eye on La sportsman as frames with busted engines pop up often. Unfortunately as duck season approaches the numbers go down and the prices go up.

Sorry man. I didn't even look at the dates. Just looked up long tails.

23hp for $1500

Here's a more recent add. I'm trying to redeem myself
