Custom vs. Standard: Which Mud-Skipper Longtail Kit is right for you? 🛥️⚙️  

We’re breaking down the key differences between our 8–16 HP Custom Longtail and 8–16 HP Standard Longtail kits so you can pick the perfect setup for your boat:

⚙️ Design & Frame:
• Custom: Features a lightweight, heavy-duty tubular frame design that provides extra support to the crankshaft.
• Standard: Built with a classic, rugged flat steel design.  

📍 Transom & Handle Mounting:
• Custom: Male post transom mount with a centrally mounted tiller handle.
• Standard: Female post transom mount with an adjustable tiller handle (switch between right or left side).  

🛠️ Trim Stop Adjustment:
• Custom: Features an adjustable trim stop bolt to set your ideal prop depth and keep the prop out of the water for effortless engine starts!  

Both kits feature a 100” longtail shaft, fit 8–16 HP engines, include an 8.5” 2-blade stainless steel prop, and support our optional Retriever Clutch!
