Louisiana Sportsman, Southeast Texas, burner email addy.
Honestly, it's going to look like a scam due to age and hours, make sure there are pics of serial #'s/VIN#.
That was an expensive rig new, post on mudmotor.com also.
Good Luck
Sorry health issues are causing sale.

Thanks for info, appreciate it; yep was $25k new. Point you make is true and sad state we are in today where someone wanting to do right by others is seen as scam.

You ordered the new engine with the YZ clutch on it.?


Are they putting the YZ clutch on them now? I’ve been waiting to hear something but haven’t seen a peep about it from Gatortail.

Pretty sure he means ZF clutch. They were supposed to start shipping out first quarter of this year, which now has 6 days left. Either way, pretty boring development at surface level to me.

Gatortails have been the best all around ive been in. They haul a boat load of gear/people well. Only problem is you will have to pay for him to get the motor "built" as well. ($3-7k extra). Only problem is theyre like old cars, constantly dumping money and time into them.

GoDevils are the most reliable. GoDevils and ProDrive have the best customer service. However both are slow as a snail (unless you build the motor or run it on a 16x36). I also dont see anyone under the age of 25 running GoDevils anymore (guess they aren't cool).


Regarding the Longtail v. Surface drive--it depends on where he intends to hunt. Some WMAs only allow long tails (ex. Biloxi Marsh). You also wouldnt catch me dead in open water/rivers (Lake P, Miss River, Upper Ouachita, White River, Atchafalaya River/WAX) with a long tail. Long runs are way better and safer in a surface drive.

Reverse is not necessary, he sounds young enough to not need a laminectomy/discectomy yet and can push it out of whatever he gets stuck in. It will honestly make him a better driver when he realize if he mess up hehave to push.
