new mud motor
 

i talked to this guy on the phone.....they claim with 2 people and a 12 boat this motor will go 18 mph. it is only 6.5 hp but he said there was alot of engineering involved and it payed off. it sells for 2200...just want to get some input from yall

where do you find those?

they are out of covington, seen the ad on lsm

I call BS on that one.:shaking:

seems like a lot of cash for such a lil mota

Just get a 18 hp or 23 hp, aint that much more, i wouldn't buy that lil motor

Way overpriced....you can get a mud buddy 23hp for a little over 3g's

that is how i felt just wanted to get someone elses input

if he woulda had a prodrive, he wouldnt have had to get out of the boat and pull.

AFENCE, ask the guy if will still make 18 mph with you and your hunting buddy Jordan. What is the highest weight rating you can get on a 12" boat? Hell, 2 Jordan's and that thing would be at the waterline.:D

you noticed how he wasnt going through that mud with 2 people in the boat? And man, das a tiny boat.

the advantage with these is they are light. that lil motor only weights 70 pounds. so when you do get stuck its easy to get out. id like to put one of these on a layout boat and see what it does. if they dropped the price to about 1500 then it would be worth it.

I've always looked with avarice upon those type of motors, and they've always been too darn expensive. Looks like that will never change. A JohnnyRude will have to do for me.
