Only go with a mini lite if ya already have a lil light weight boat, that ya just cant part with. If ya want a good, light weight mm, the 23 LA Special only weighs about 15-20 lbs more & comes with power trim & clutch standard. Btw, ya can't get power trim on a mini lite, but ya can add a clutch for $300. |

i got a 23 mini and does ok on a 1542 alweld. As far as motors go . the 23 is a tough SOB i got one that has sank to the bottom of a lake stayed there for two days and i pulled it back out drained it, pulled the carb, flushed it with diesel new plugs and filters. Fired up every morning we went hunting this year without useing the choke. So as far as the motor goes its a beast. |

mod v , ribbed, or flat? those are big factors it will run ok on the ribbed, pretty good on the flat, but not so hot on the mod v. check with team camo he used to run a 27 mini on a g3 boat not sure what size? |

No, Andrew doesn't know if he's coming or going, that's why he needs the reverse. Melvin's runnin the MB because he wants to advance forward, not go backward. ![]() Sorry, had to do it. ![]() |

JACKED THAT ONE ive got a 23 mini lite, 4 years now. love it its on a rivited 14x48 and runs good. no problems with the motor or boat. im in a shallow rocky river no mud or veg. but for open shallow water its been flawless. |

I bought a used 18 mini, threw a new Honda 24 on it, left the lower gear reduction and put a Godevil 12x12 prop and made a new brace(12 inch prop will not fit under cavitation plate). I been running for a year. no problems with it whatsoever, only thing is Godevil prop vibrates, but thats not a frame or engine problem. only thing I broke was the spring for the quick trim release, no biggie just stuck spring back and bent it to secure it. |

Post subject: | Re: mud buddy minis how do they hold up and perform |
trying to stay as light as possible would love to have a 27 0r 29 but may settle for the 23 la i think the 23 is about 75 pounds heavier than a mini 27 i know the trim and clutch adds weight on the 23 la wonder if that is the difference |
