Nice

Blueman

Some manufacturer needs to make bigger hp long tails like the old predator. I've been looking like crazy for one. I'd love to have a 70 hp longtail!!!!!!

Denny

Blueman, take a 5hr WOT ride with a 35hp longtail and see if you still think you need a 70 hp longtail. Those Harley engined long tails were brutal if you had to go very far at WOT.

WOT? Do you mean wide open throttle? I'm a young honyock so I can handle the abuse a longtail dishes out. I just want some more hp so I can get my boat 3 guys and a big load of gear up and moving! I wish there was more options available.

mudder

The PREDATOR is a 75hp V twin Harley. Hard to find but out there. I passed one up 3 or 4 years ago. Ran one some years ago. They are a handfull beyond imagination. Gonna stick with my 35 BT longtail. Its plenty.

I've heard that the harley motors don't last long is this true? Either way I want one, who doesn't want to do 40 mph with a long tail!

Denny

We had one lined up for one of our motor swaps, told him what we were going to do with it and he said he wouldn't recommend it. Harley engine doesn't have cooling fan for low speed operation. It would burn its self up. Not enough air moving acoss cooling fins, this would happen with any air cooled motorcycle engine. He said he would recommend a water cooled Gold Wing engine for our applcation. They are very heavy. Never carried through with this motor swap idea.

Denny what would you recommend then for a large hp longtail? I've been looking into the new bud buddy super longtails, they look like they might be the way to go.

Denny

All we've herd about the new belt driven long tails is what MB has offered on their web site. They offer a 70hp Vanguard motor on their surface drive and I would bet you probably could get that same motor on their longtail as a special order. I'd give em a call and see what they say. If they aren't avalible I would look into building up a 35hp B&S Vanguard, to your HP requirments.

I would recommend you are at least 300 lbs if you are going to drive a 70hp longtail. That ALOT of power 7 feet behind you. Leverage is not your friend at that point. I have a buddy that has one of the old Predators. 88cc Harley engine on a long tail frame, and they actually quit building them cuz of liability lawsuits, and nobody would write an insurance policy.

IMO you are nuts if you want that much power in a longtail. Hell I owned a 35hp longtail for 2 years and went swimming 5 times. At some point safety is more important.
