 Help me make a motor decisionLooking to purchase my first mud motor. Several of my friends have longtails and surface drives and I have hunted with them on their boats for a few years now. I want to buy a surface drive but do not know what I want. With reverse not being an issue, what is the fastest, most powerful, best for running in grass and shallow water motor? It will be for about a 16-17' Gator tail or Uncle J boat. What motor is the most powerful stock? Which motor is the best/easiedt to mod? Any input will help. Thanks guys

Re: Help me make a motor decision Pintail ---- thanks for the help. I will be running a little of everything but mostly shallow water that is full of vegetation. I was already leaning toward the prodrive because of the full power reverse so if it is a better motor for vegetation like you say then i am leaning toward it even more now.

Re: Help me make a motor decision I was in some shit the other day that I know for a fact a GTR would have had a hell of a time backing out of. If I had the money I would have both (PD & GTR) I run thick nasty vegetation and just don't see anything backing up like the Pd in the some places. Me and the other PD folks need to make some videos...LOL
