				  PPF Wood Duck,  backwater, or stump jumper  
					
						Looking to buy one of these 3 kits for my 1240 Lowe johnboat in a 6.5 hp kit.  Leaning towards the ppf , looks like a solid light weight kit. I have a swamp runner currently. Not a huge fan of it to long of a shaft hard to turn and super heavy.  Any advice or recommendations are welcome and would love to hear from the guys who have owned the ppf .  Also looking to buy so if anyone has one they are looking to sell pm me please.

						Curious if you've adjusted where the motor/kit sits on the main plate? That made a huge difference on my buddy's small and large swamp runner kits. With that said, I know absolutely nothing about PPF, but Backwater makes a very nice kit and are awesome to deal with.

						You might want to talk to backwater,  They have a new lighter small frame.  Maybe lighter than a PPF.  
  Give Jake a call..

						Talked to Jake this morning and he confirmed that they were coming out with a new lighter kit with all the great features blackwater offer. It’s coming out soon. Hopefully in a couple weeks.

						I always wanted an air boat but the maintenance is ridiculous on them. Had a buddy who owned one and we were always working on that thing
