| Post subject: | mud motor on a semi v |
I was told that a mud motor would not run on a semi v like mine. I have an Xpress 15' 46" duck boat edition (http://www.xpressboats.com/view/138) and currently have a Merc 25 tiller. I was thinking about putting a surface drive on it to run more shallow water. Is this possible to do...anybody have a similiar set up? |

It's possible, but it's not the best setup. I ran mine on a 1548 G3 semi-v until I realized I was better off gettin the right setup. |

You won't get the same performance in the shallows. You won't get the same speeds. You won't get the same load carrying. Etc. If you wanna do it right, get a hull designed for a mud motor. The xpress is a good hull. If its in good shape, sell it and look to buy a package mm and mm hull. You can get good deals on used rigs. Some in decent shape, some damn near new. Just depends on what you want to spend. |

I would not......I repeat......I would NOTTTTTTT put a mud motor on a boat with a v-bottom!!!!! If you do....you get what you deserve!!!!! Mud motors are designed to perform on FLAT bottomed boats! |

Thanks for everyone's input.... I think I'm going to do what cb5331 said and either stick with my rig or sell it and start a new... |
