Got info today that the MB folks were down in south Louisiana giving the new Sport models a test run. It was kept very low key, just wondering if anyone knew how the thing did in heavy grass and lillies.

I thought this thing had already been "Tested and Proven" during the years of R&D. Anyone still banking on getting the motors you prepaid for next month?

Some of us ain't gotta wait till next month...that's all for now. Goodnight!

Official release date been pushed back another month. Hopefully these prepaid guys get there's before hunting season.

im glad my mb is sold and that i makin the switch to a pd. aint gotta worry bout this stuff

It was flawless.... Going to be a huge seller.

Some people are willing to Waite . It will be the best mud motor on Earth.

On earth?

Finally getting a real good pic of it, it will likely be the fastest. The cone clutch hoopla will be tested in the lillies in south LA this fall, if they are available. The lillies around our camp are as bad as I have seen them and they have a month and a half left to grow.

videos are up from the ride in LA:

He should've stopped on top of the mud flat, then did his reverse/forward/reverse/forward thing...that would've been better than him just playing in water

this may be what you looking for

Boy with the extensive r&d and years of testing this thing, you would think they could figure out how to drive this thing a lil better. Looks like a buncha newbies trying to figure out what to do!

weak

I wanna see some vid's of them beating the holy hell outta this thing. Right now they are driving like Giga.

Never enough huh guys...

I don't think GF has had a lot of experience running in mud like that. One of the camera guys never runs the coast. You don't drive up on a mud flat and stop in most parts of the country...unless you want to get a pull or your feet muddy.
With the right hand on the tiller that should be a nice motor.
I'm definitely NOT the right hand cause that kinda mud is fairly new to me...but I am starting to catch on.

I ain't knocking it. Just saying I'd be more impressed it they were trying to break it, no pussy footing it in some cattails, alittle mud and destroying a prop in some sand and rocks. Have yet so see it run in a stump field. I wanna see that lower unit take some abuse. Give it to me for a while and it will either come back in pieces or get a thumbs up.

That is a fucking joke!!

I'll admit I have one on order, so I'll let you guys know how hey run in a few months.

There are a few fellers I personally know would give that thing hell.

Where do you hunt?

The old style Gator Trax angled transom looks like it would help vs. the straight transom on that boat. Looks like he's pushing mud like a bull dozer.

The cut back helps reverse, but hurts some forward performance.

There is a new prop coming too

DDM. One is parked in Sville down from ya dads.. If you around you should come take a look

It's headed back up North Tomorrow. Let's go ride this afternoon.
