Mud-buddy, gator-tail, go-devil or other

Pro-Drive

If you can get in, you can get out. Full power reverse is unmatched

We have an old school 35 Mud Buddy. No Reverse- just simple.

I like that it has a Mercury trim tilt unit on it- very nicely done, we can go anywhere we want with it.

Prodrive, full power reverse, which comes in handy when your buddies with gatortails get stuck in a patch of hyacinths.

My preference for what I do is Gator Tail, but now that the Pro Drive has instant reverse and the 50 is out, it would be a tougher decision if I had to do it over again.

My recommendation is to focus on whoever is closer to you for warranty work. But pro drive is the best if you want to spend a lot of time in thick mud.

Airboat that will run on dry ground.

Prodrive is not gonna be the fastest or lightest, but in my opinion it has the least arm fatigue and no belt is great. Like others have said, the reverse is great.

I'm a Gatortail fan. Instant reverse is more important that full power reverse.

Pro-Drive has both now.

I have a 18x54 center console Gatortail. Been having it for over 8 years. Got it when the 37xd came out and has been a great engine and rig. Very reliable. It’s also easy for my kids to run also.

Poo drives are loud, heavy and slow. Several guys in our duck club have them and I pass them up every time we all hunt togther. I would like to know how solid that actuator is that hangings off the front now for the instant reverse.
