ok so my gf's dad let me borrow his mud rig bc he cant use it/hasnt used it in 2 years. the hull is a go devil 18x54 maybe im not exactly sure of the width. i looked at the bottom of it before i brought it home and noticed it had a few dents and scratches in it. i was cleaning all the stuff out of the inside of the boat today and noticed that were i stand to drive in the middle of the back it kinda humped up a little. didnt think much of it at first as the boat isnt brand new. the more i thought ab it the more it worried me so i looked on the bottom to find a pretty significant dent on the bottom. i have hit my far share of stumps in this thing already (only one or two that i was unaware of and going full speed) but i was told by that man that it would be "very hard for me to put a hole in the bottom of it" i asked that question numerous times and he assured me it would be near impossible. i know it has the .125 thickness but just how much abuse can these things take? since it is not mine i by no means go off into places i dont feel comfortable going. im just a little concerned bc if something happened to this mans boat it most certainly means death for me.

whats the worst thing anyones ran over with there mud boat

I ran dead into a cypress knee in a mudflat and it stopped dead in my tracks. I needed a seat belt. lol. Put a good dent in the front but did not break a weld or affect its seaworthiness in any way.

Only one ive seen a whole in was a friend was doing about thirty on a flat in a 16 x 54 gd and hit a cypress knee. it put a good dent in it and pulled a weld apart but it was above the water line and he ran it for another year like that.

Fella that post here spyderbeaver hit a sunken skiff that's upside down.They ran into the rudder and wheel at WOT,came to a quick stop with a gash in the hull a couple inches long. No one was hurt but the pucker factor was high.

ahh hell at the La mud run me and another boat hit each other it knocked off one of my handles off that was welded to the front!!!! and i slid into a tree will i was playing in the mud stop the boat in its tracks put a lil dent in in the front took a hell of a chunk out of the tree

I must admit Jim, that was one of the dumbist things I have done in that boat. Dont get me wrong, it was awsome and flat out funny to see that boat fly. But I dont think I will ever do that again.































Who am I jokin with, I WILL find a bigger one and I WILL atempt to get more air. That was one of the funnest days of our hunting season.

You may never put a hole in it but the chances of adding to the hooks (dents) in the bottom is a very good. Why I would borrow anyones boat cause something would get forked up pretty quick with my luck.

Sonny.....what's the story with that avatar. That jump looks insane

Hizz
that jump was on the old site. I think I still got the footage, but I will have to look.

No dude, she launched rite over that house. Landing was not the prettiest, but I am still moving and boat is still floatin. The 1860 that hit it after me did one HELL of a nose dive. NOt enough speed and to small of cahones.
