I've got a 35hp kawasaki ultralight airplane engine. It is beltdriven. How hard would it be for me to build a surface drive mudmotor with this thing? Is it just as simple as setting it on like a mudbuddy, godevil or gatortail frame? |

If its a 2 stroke it won't work well cause it aint got the low end torque needed in the mud~ sorry |

With an airboat propeller - yes - right.... With a mudscrew - no - not gonna do it, nope noway... unless you use a very small pitch like what a 6 hp might use..... or a 3 to one reduction gear.... but that is silly..... It's made for a blow job - use it that way.... |

Two stroke makes way more horse power per cc. 4 stroke makes way more torque. Torque is what gets you to your horsePOWER band of sorts. It takes torque to get something moving, horsepower keeps it moving |

Kyle at Gator Tail had a Rotax on a GT frame. He said it hauled ass but was very loud. |
