Hi People new to the board but not to mud motors... I am a welder who builds custom aluminum duck boats... I am building my self a new one starting this week a 6 ft x 16 ft x 18 in so I am buying a new motor... I have had a GD surface drive like it but no neutral ..... Had a 35 hyper back in 05 liked it so my new boat will be built with a short transom and I like the Pd 36 but wanted to here from you guys input on the kohler 40 MD give my your thoughts.... I am pulling the trigger end of this week on one thank you Fred the welder |

Go with a CDI Briggs over the K40 if you go MB. Has more power than the 35 and there is alot of mods avaialble for that motor. With either- go with a tall transom to eliminate backwash. If you go with the PD with reverse, do a tall transom for sure. |

I hunt the great lakes very dangerous place to hunt if your motor fails in any way so no Mods for me just want durability and go every time dependability |

Mods don't equal grenade. Just depends on what you do. Stock motors fail from time to time too. |
