Do any mud motor companies sell their surface drive units separate from the motors?

I picked up a 25HP Kohler engine, currently it is set up with a long tail. I would love to slap a surface drive on it. I searched and didn't see any surface drive conversion kits for a motor the size of the 25HP. I see the mud skippers, but i don't think that will work for the 25hp.

I'm wondering if go-devil would sell just the surface drive unit for the 25 hp kohler?

Also, in the process of trying to find a 16-17' boat to slap it on.

ETA* Changed to question to read all mud motor companies and not just go-devil.

Doubt it, warren has always been a dick about selling parts to his motors like he built the fricking space shuttle.

Agree. They want the SN when you call them or no parts.

You'd honestly come out better just selling it and buying a surface drive. Sometimes you can find a surface drive frame someone has parted out, but is probably junk. It'd take too much bullshite to mess with honestly, for you can't just slap a powerhead on a frame and think it'll work. There's horizontal shafts/vertical shafts, gearing etc., to take into consideration when looking into different mudmotor manufacturers. Too much of a headache for something you "hope" will be reliable..

Actually I saw one that worked with up to 27hp motors last week. Don't remember brand. But it wasn't anything super impressive

I talked with go devil, they will do it if I drop my motor off at there place. Also, I believe mud buddy will do it as well.
