| Post subject: | Which motor should I go after? |
I am a new member here. I live in Roswell, GA only a few miles from the Chattahoochie River. I grew up in Alabama fishing big water Lakes like Jordan, and Martin and I don't have much experience with Mud Motors, or Jet Drives. As many of you know the Chattahoochie is extremely rocky and can be as shallow as a few inches depending on when they are pulling water from Lake Lanier. I am working on buying / building a pretty simple rig to get out on the Chattahoochie this Spring and Summer. My plan is to buy a used Jon Boat between 12' and 16' with trailer and mount some type of outboard that I can run up into extremely shallow water. I am looking for the CHEAPEST option possible. I am working on a shoestring budget so I'm sure everything I will be looking at will be used or a fixer-upper. Any advice you guys could give me on what type of motor to look for would be greatly |

If you are only running a rocky, shallow river I think a LT would suit your needs. Check out mudbuddy, godevil, backwater. |

Sounds like you need a jet drive outboard!! |

check out my post on the engines forum. I am very familiar with that river. Ive run outboards, surface drives, and longtails on it... |
