Step up to a metal shark

These bad boys can push 1,250 pounds of of torque with a 550 propshaft horsepower, while operating in an all-terrain setting in extreme (swamp) conditions. It’s custom plate features hydraulic power trim and easy to handle steering. The stainless steal propeller easily pierces through vegetation, bushes, even large debris such as branches..



I just hope it comes with a flatbill

That's nice and all, but can it throw a mean rooster tail?

Is it just me or does that video seem like all those drivers had very little control over the vessels?

I'd also be a bit wary of all that power and torque whilst blazing through the willow trees. Seems you could dead center a good size tree or anything else that doesn't give much and ruin your day

Great, one more way for the trash to tear up the marsh.

Stop completely in some really bad marsh and that thing is stuck like chuck. Same thing as the other surface drives. If you can't get water flowing under and lifting the hull, you better have good cell service.

Old school, sit on top the motor, stick steer, drive shaft through the keel, prop under the hull, stump jumpin' mofo FTW.

Killa, I heard there was three of those Metal Sharks in the lake this past weekend on the "mud run." People were yelling at them to stop in the middle of some shite and then get out. They did once and a real mud boat had to pull them out.
