how does pro drives do in shallow stumpy water compared to other surface drives? my buddy has a mud buddy w/ electric trim and he said he could barely put the prop in the water and keep it off the stumps. just trying to get a lil input

i run a 32 pd ( 20 in transom) on a 1648 war eagle and i was just wondering this becuase i know i knock the chit outta some stumps. i no one thing... i need a new boat, whether that has somethin to do with it, i dont know

You should buy a Mudbuddy or GatorTail

I have a Prodrive and run that type of terrain and have had no problems. I have a podnah that had a mudbuddy and he does well, the only difference i see is his prob grinds on the stumps when he cant get it outta da water soon enough. Its all personal preference.

i have a mb and i run a ton of stumps and dont have any problems with it

They all will run stumps well. Drive each and see which best suits you.

I think the thick construction of the L.U. and gears on a pd would handle the abuse better than a belt drive and shaft.

I hit at least 25 stumps a trip with my pro-drive normally at around 15mph. With the occasional impact at 25mph. The only thing that has been hurt is my wrist and pride when I do a faceplant. I was concerned about my motor on the stumps when I got it. It's made out of harder materials than stumps are.
