Been looking all over the net trying to find plans for either a surface drive or long shaft. Found myself here. Just sold a 21 HP Mud Buddy and looking to build a bigger one. Another thing that is mind boggling me is that I can find just about anything on the internet but no plans. Must not be many guys making them? These things cant really be that difficult to build but I'd rather start with a set of plans before attempting it. Anyone have a plans a guy could look at or where to go to get them(other than ebay-might end up going that route)

They have a longtail kit also.

Post up or PM me your email address. I will send you some rough plans for the belt driven motor that I built. I may still have some for a longtail also. There is a guy who sell plans for a longtail on ebay.

Nope, you ain't savin chit compared to the headache of having to make the thing yerself.

Beavertail was pretty good about selling components. Not sure if they do anymore. They will sell any of the components separately if you do not have access to a lathe/mill.
