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

One thing to watch out for is HP restrictions on where you may be running this thing. As for the Mud boat in shallow water the one i had if it was wet it would go. No water needed if it was a mud slush. The downfall of a mudboat is logs. If you get high centered on your skeg you are fricked at least a go devil you can skip the boat over the log. Surface drives and long tails can't compare to a big block inboard mudboat though in grass, lillies and floating marsh.

My uncle had an inboard mudboat with a 35HP Wisconsis Robin engine (now made by Subaru). That thing was a water jeep and would go anywhere. It was neither fast nor pretty, but it got the job done.
