Re: What makes a "mud boat" In simple terms....
A mudmotor to push it and a slick bottom instead of a ribbed bottom.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! ! "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." |

Re: What makes a "mud boat" I myself cant afford a true flat bottom boat but my ribbed 15footer with my 23hp GD gets me through some nasty stuff so I consider it a mud boat

Re: What makes a "mud boat" All BS aside, a mud hull is usually considered a slick bottom hull with longitudinal bracing built with at least 1/8th aluminum. Your typical jon has runners down the bottom, made out of .100 gauge or thinner, and horizontal bracing. Long story short, not counting any inboard mud boats, it is a hull designed for a mud motor instead of a traditional outboard.

Re: What makes a "mud boat" Rake angle comes into play more than the length.
Generally the longer the rake, the rake isn't as steep so it planes better. _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |

Re: What makes a "mud boat" How the boat is built has nothing to do weather its a mudboat or not. Take a boat put a mudmotor on you got a mudboat. Take a boat put a inboard engine you got a real the mudboat which is my favorite ones
