Re: New to running mud Don't worry someone will have plenty of rope. Jus worry about the other boats when u do hit the mud u will not be able to control the boat as well

Re: New to running mud Start off in some shallow water, say 1-2". You won't get stuck (well you shouldn't), take some time to stop and start. Remember regardless of hull, you hit these flats and steering diminishes greatly. Your gonna go in the direction of the boats momentum.

Re: New to running mud If you start to loose it, let off the gas and trim down. It takes some getting use to, and sometime you just cant control it. I just GG my boat, so even I am worried about how it is going to react on mud.

Re: New to running mud I ended up a boat length into the grass last year just trying to negotiate a left turn. Realized I was not gonna make it I straightened and enjoyed the ride in. Took two boats to pull me out.
