Welcome aboard

I am Tim. I have been around a few weeks. Did not realize there was an intro thread. Posted a few times. I am looking into getting a MM and boat rig. I do not hunt. But I do shoot a lot and own a half dozen weapons from a few pistols, a cool benelli , an AR15 that I have had a few years and an old pump action 22, that I love because it reminds of me of my dad when I was a boy.

I fished with him in the Spillway and Verret and worked out on our family property with him and would not have traded anything for all that time with him. I only get to fish a half dozen times a year now. I shoot more than I fish. But want to do more of that once the boat is decided on.

I am very pro 2nd amendment and do a little activism. I am for expanding more freedoms for all of us and believe in the constitution. I do not care what you do on your property, as long as it will never hurt me, knock yourself out even if it is not safe or whatever. I do not care. Just do not impede on my freedoms because you are trying to keep me safe from myself.

Welcome VD ( )! You sound like a good dude, but your username initials are unfortunate...

Hey everybody,
new guy here from SETX (between anahuac and smith point)
Been envious of the mud boat guys for many a duck season. got stuck in my brothers outboard really bad 2 seasons ago and blew mine up trying to do mudboat things with an outboard.
I've been wanting to build a little square back inboard pirogue for a while but dont have the time.
I found a good deal on a 12 foot jefferson fiberglass hull. I'll be picking it up in a few weeks when I get in from offshore. It's set up for a long tail but I'm leaning heavily toward trying to put a short tail outboard style mm on it. Thinking about a new 10 horse Dixie (I know! I know!!!) or going ultra cheap with a used long tail something or other in the 8-10 hp range. I'm spread way too thin to hunt as much as I would like to so dumping money into a serious mudboat just doesnt make a lot of sense at this point in my life.

*EDIT* I just realized I had the numbers all jumbled up in my head and the price difference between the Dixie and the copperhead is waaaay smaller than I was thinking. Looks like it's probably going to be a 10 or 12 hp copperhead. But I will probably talk to both mfg's and ask some questions before pulling the trigger.

My name is Chris and im from West TN. I've had a mud motor for several years and have been on this forum but never registered. Im fixing to be forced to make some repairs on my motor so i figured now was a great time to go ahead and join.
All that being said, I am a hunter. Mostly what the motor gets used for. Beavertail may not move as fast but it goes harder and longer than a outboard in these shallow swamps.
As far as occupation I was Wireless Tech. for a company near here. I climbed towers, troubleshot wireless equip. and did fab. work for tower installation and construction. Now I am a broke full time student lol

Hey Im Mike ive been lurking for w hile and thought I would introduce myself. I live In Willis Texas On lake Conroe. I dont have a Mud Boat yet, but Im saving up. Anyone else in my area?

Welcome aboard mike my dad lives in Willis ill be there some time next week to pick up a trailer

Thanks yall. Im actually staying in Spring right now at my dads ....I have a 50ft houseboat on the lake I normally live out but I had to pull it out a build a new hull. Ever ride around on the lake any? I used to bowfish up north a lot, but dont have anyone with a boat anymore lol.

maybe by years end ill have a boat I need a 1860 probably Im 6'6 350 so i need something stable lol. Ive fished out of 1446 with long tails and its a little small.

Yeah it would be a lot better of the neighborhood ASSociations would STFU and let us kill carp. Ive caught 9 1/2# bass in my slip, and 65# cats

the carp are so bad on Conroe they jump 3-4' out of the water to eat the leaves off trees, and we catch them on live bait constantly. The neighborhoods put them in to kill all the vegitation. Carp and Bulkheads RUINED lake conroe as far as Im concerned. Id rather fight stumps on the north side then deal with 4ft chop and drunk asians
