re: Pro Drive vs. Gator Tail vs. Mudboat with inboard engine

I had a custom built boat with a 35 GTR. My next one will be a Gatortail combo with a full open layout. No boxes, etc. with an extended front deck. If you get a GTR or MB, get a hunt deck.
If you know how to the drive the GTR, the reverse is very good. There is a learning curve to it. And the reverse plate works wonders.
Why buy a Mudbuddy? That is my main question. Why NOT get a motor with reverse?

If I'm spending this much money, I'm getting reverse.

My main incentive for purchasing a mud buddy, over a prodrive is the amount of rubber spacers that they put on the Mud Buddy.
I've had both. When I hunt flooded timber you run over tons of stumps and logs, the Pro Drive is a metal on metal design, and grinds and broke on me.... numerous times.
My mud buddy handles the stumps and obstacles much better. I personally haven't ever needed a mud motor that runs in reverse.
Running an unguarded prop in reverse makes it extremely vulnerable.
Just my 2 cents.
Having owned both, and also having used a gator-tail... I'm sticking with my mud buddy. I got my Excel F4 not long ago, and I'll run it for at least another few years.
