Post Inboard Mud Boat
I was in the market for a new boat and weighed my options. I decided to go with another inboard mud boat. Here are a few pics of the build. More to come as I paint, wire and add hydroturf.

Looks good. How well does the shaft handle hitting stuff under the water?

Post Re: Inboard Mud Boat
This is a neat build. Question: how are you going to link the sterring? Why did you decide to go with straight gearbox instead of reverse gearbox? I'm thinking about building an inboard myself and want to try to adapt the Gator Tail belt drive and reverse setup to power it. Seems like it would be easy to do.

That looks like a normal clutch with reverse to me. I would think that trying to use a belt drive system for an inboard mudboat would fail just like the chain drive system Waymaker tried.

Using a EZ Glide stick steering. This is a ZF 1.5:1 ratio with reverse.

Post Re: Inboard Mud Boat
Waymaker had a similar set that used a chain drive system instead of shaft drive and it just didnt hold up. Honestly if your wanting to be innovative it may work but I just don't think it would be as strong as the traditional shaft drive set up. Also I dont know what it would cost but I do know you can purchase a new 35 with a clutch already bolted up in the neighborhood of $4500.
