Okay, back to the topic... Where does this Foreman guy from Mud Buddy fit into the scheme of things? Didn't I read on here some where that he claims he made the first surface drive motor back in the late 90's? Not trying to start an argument; just asking a question... :D

Post Re: MM History? Who started it all?
I went back and re-read ALL of BM Barrelcooker's posts. I even went as far as to copy and past ALL his posts into a Word document to make it easier to read. Kinda like a Cliff notes. :D

If what BM says is true, I see why a lot of people do not trust Glen Foreman. Sounds like he copied both Pro Drive and Gator Tail and then sues people who try to invent other stuff closely related to anything that might resemble anything he's working on.

No wonder people don't like Mud Buddy. And guess what manufacturer has the ONLY mud motor dealer in Michigan? Yep, Mud Buddy.

And can someone tell me who this Mmayes guy is? Is he someone that any of you know personally?

I said that. I just meant because he's obsessed with Acadian history in its various forms. Nothing negative.

Oops. Sorry Coot. I hadn't heard Guidry was a historian. Interesting...

One thing you will learn is that STT is full of shit and don't trust anything he says, for a guy that works literally 5 minutes away from gatortail and acts like he don't know the owners name is full of shit. That playing stupid shit will only get you so far.

IF STT spells College like COLLAGE do you really want this guy installing an ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION system on your unit. For all we know he's fixing to Graduate kindergarten, course they may have a higher IQ

There is a lot of speculation of WHO invented the first surface drive, when I saw my first surface drive it was Pro Drive and the second one I heard of that came into production was the Gator Tail invented by KYLE Broussard of Louriville LA who designed his machine while siting in class in COLLEGE. Then I hear that a HOBIT is trying to sue him from UP north. How a northern up there thought of a mud motor before someone down south is beyond me but I know where he got the IDEA. :roll:

As far as who invented the long tail. I am sick of hearing how Warren cocoa invented it. There is plenty of proof that he didn't. I have seen pictures of long tails that were around before cocoa's dad was born

For those really wanting to know who was the first, here you go. Vietnam, saw a version of it in 1970. And there is no telling how long it was out before that.

Seen pictures of a German made long tail from WWII. Maybe it was even WWI.
