American Long Tail Boats

Rich French's traditional 30-foot wooden Thai longtail boat may be the only one like it in New England. Friday he spent time motoring around Echo Lake in Mt. Vernon. Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal

This guy had this boat built in Thailand and shipped to his home in New England.

GO-DEVIL Longtail

GO-DEVIL is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Their target market seems to hunters and fisherman who like to explore the Louisiana swamps. I can see how a longtail motor could have certain advantages there. They aren't building hot rod motors, mostly small motors. The largest is 40 HP. Did not find any pictures of boats with these motors. Big problem in the USA is that most small boats are trailered, and longtail motors could make that difficult.
