hahah I think they all look like fu*kin Frankenstein motors.

Lol most people won't recognize a surface drive, try goin in a parkin lot with a longtail... People come and stare for a few minutes and finally ask "what the f#ck is that?"

Yeah keep building those fast tin cans boats, then sell it the following year all hooked the fuk up to the first poor ignorant basturd to come along.

Too much crap is bad for performance, but some build with a purpose. I have a 18x60 tall sides and transom , because I hunt in venice crossing the mississippi river. I do give up some ability to perform in mud and veggies with the extra width, but there is nothing else in it. To me safely crossing the river was a better option than running better in mud and veggies.
Oh, stock I was running 27.
I always thought most were full of $hit when it came to there speeds.

that river is a beast down there

No love here lol when I look at my pd I see a wonders of mud motor marvel and beauty not like those looks like it was made of plate left over from the shop gt lol

Whens I here reads sometime hurt mines head ha ha, SERIOUSLY

For the record the catwalk on a 1854 is 29.5 lbs. Lighter than a sack of decoys

For the record build it how YOU want it

Thank you exactly

Ddm I gotya wiggler lol

59 pounds right for cat walks that is heavy !! Like I said my opinion is people overbuild boats with extras!! Simple facts heavy boats will not run on the side light boats.....

I totally agree with you on that. its 29.5 for both catwalks

Well,
Here's my $.02. (for what it is worth)

Just cause a Mercury 2.5 liter is on a Allison going 105mph, doesn't mean it can't be on a workboat going 50mph.

With this said, different strokes for different folks.. I think that havin a comfortable boat built for the owners use is the right way. Fast or slow

I equate BS speeds w/ mudboats to BS miles per gallon w/ diesel trucks

98% bullshat, 2% truth
