SWOMP KITS

The highest quality, best performing longtails — in kit form!  Our SWOMP kits will have you up and running in no time.  Everything is included for easy assembly and fits a large assortment of engines including Vanguard, Kohler, Honda, Subaru, Predator and Honda clones.

SWOMP Lite Kits

3 - 7 HP Ultra-Lite Kit - $1095 
The Ultra Lite Kit weighs in at 25lbs 9oz complete with everything needed except for the motor. It includes quality mounting hardware and even the key stock for the engine. This kit comes standard with all the features waterfowl hunters have come to depend on from Backwater like the Revo-Clean triple bearing system and Surface Tracer cavitation plate.

We set out to make the lightest frame in this horsepower range, but we didn't sacrifice what has made Backwater motors the best longtails made. To accomplish this we built the frame with a thinner wall (yet ultra strong) DOM tube and created a dual-density driveshaft using a hollow upper section mated to solid 4140 for the lower bearing and prop end. Other unique features include a lightweight upper bearing housing and bell housing adapter, billet aluminum handle mounts, and a quick release function allowing separation from the Versa-Mount for easy transport.

Features:
  • Lightweight steel bell housing with carrying handle
  • 55 inch Ultra-Light shaft
  • Versa-Mount transom mount with motor quick release
  • Triple-sealed long-life lower bearing system In Stainless Steel Housing
  • Revo-Clean™ System keeps debris out of lower housing
  • Backwater Blade™ Stainless Super weedless propeller
  • Surface Tracer CT™ cavitation plate
  • 7/8" DOM handle




Note: This kit comes standard with a lever throttle. Paddle throttle shown in photos is optional.
