Way I see it is when all the SD are stuck I can come putting by drinking a beer and wave. Kinda like the tortoise and the hare :lol: LOL. Na I'm just going to enjoy myself at my own pace. Ain't out to prove nothing nor take anything away from anybody else. When I get there I get there. If I don't it can be loaded back up on a trailer as quick as it came.off. the ride home is the same distance during the day as during a dark morning

I never had an airboat butt up to me, and I stopped and took off under my own power in that thick shit at the entrance of square pond right before we left!

If my handle wouldn't have given up on me I probably coulda sawed outta my worst stuck... If I would have actually been in a flat bottomed boat it would have helped too.

I got "stuck" once, and that was a combination of inexperience in that type of mud, wrong hull all together, broken parts. No excuses, stuck is stuck but, I feel like I would have been fine even if just my handle would have been healthy. All in all my POS did exceedingly well. I'm just mostly satisfied that it ran so well after having issues for so long.

I know more than once mine revved to over 6K and once approaching 7K... Floated the valves pretty hard but stayed together... Friggin miracle.

Driving a longtail is like fucking a hooker, You can go deep and get as close to the bottom as possible and still never hit it!

His 23 swamp pushed that skiff well. I don't think he got stuck. He's still got a few tweaks to do to it but he's only has it a week. Its expected I guess.

Ill admit it. I got stuck as shit. My bad, but on my behalf it was a blind corner coming into utility pond. The airboat came up. Said grab the side and get out of the way cause your gonna get hit. I was broadside and was really in a bad spot and was going to get hit. I probably could had made it out cause I was making slow, very slow progress. But atleast I didn't get hit.

Thanks to the airboat that pushed me out.

Stuck is stuck so ya I was push out. Oh well it happens

And woodiebuster I'll. Agree with you, bad ass sounding.g swingset leg

She ran good to me , 21-22 , I could at least keep the pack in sight. . Woodie busters rig is still faster , he was running 24 mph and could walk on me on longer runs. As far as performance I ran the hell out of it. , it took me a while to figure out where it wanted to bite and really grab good in the slop , a little learning curve with the new motor , once I figured where it wanted to bite at it was easy. I wasn't scared of putting it anywhere out there and not getting out . I was impressed with how heavy duty that tube frame was . Had one go devils break handles the mud was so bad. . I literally was putting all my weight down to get it out when I dug to deep a few times . I had a reoccurring fuel delivery issue later in the afternoon that I'll have to trouble shoot , kept having to reprime the bulb on long runs , once I figured that out I just rode it out. . It was a good run and a fun weekend .

The gov is um, bypassed :lol:

This motor was gone into before I bought it and I'm pretty sure it was disabled internally. For where I run normally it's not an issue. This mud was another story entirely lol.

I'm not scared of 6K on a rare occasion, I've read lots of the karting guys turning these Hondas 6K+ on all stock internals. The valve train would be my biggest concern. It only happens when I smack something real hard running wide open and the prop comes flying skyward haha

I'm going to yank my governor out soon. I'm looking into adjustable rev limiters. You can dial it to wherever you want. 4200 for everyday running...... 6000 for showing off...... 12000 when your pissed off and need to break some shit :lol:

Woodie & Huck were both impressive. Woodie may have had the best time of anyone at the ride. :lol:
