New to the mud motor world

Author	Message
easttexas14 MMT Member Joined: Mon Feb 03, 2014 7:14 pm Posts: 8	New to the mud motor world I'm moving to Houston for work and I am looking to purchase a boat in the near future. What would be a good multipurpose boat for fishing the flats and out in the bay for reds and using for duck hunting? Is there a type of hull I should be looking for or when any mod-V hull work for both? I'm new to the coast and new to mud motor world so any help would be great.

No USCG Floation - No Bueno Too ! 18 x 48 is the basic best overall size hull for a MM rig... I can help you get a test ride or two in a GD rig if you want - or you can jump in my GD 1844 with 36 GDSD and take a ride.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !
