Boat Recommendation
This motor is very versatile. We've used it on everything from large sneak boats to flat jons. Perfect for one to two people and equipment. The best boat lengths for the standard 13 HP motor are 14' to 16'. Beavertail's Performance Pods make a world of difference with this motor. The aluminum frame 13 is great for larger sneak boats. This motor will do most everything the big motors, but will also save you some money.
Finish
Flat finish marine powder coat (Olive Drab). All units come with zinc rich undercoat primer powder coat.
*360 degree swivel feature on all aluminum frame models works only on boats with straight transoms.
