 mudbuddy unstable i have a 14ft mudbuddy with a 25hp kohler engine on it with the longtail drive i was wondering if anyone could give me a tip on how to make it more stable it wants to flip way to easy i have the 6 gallon gas tank and battry in back with me im 210 pounds i know that dont help. if i move that other stuff forward would that do anything for me. i made a performance pod but it slows me down ALOT so i might take it off. what would you guys try out thanks for any help

Re: mudbuddy unstable swampbilly
you should get paid for advice like that. I suggest you run for office, or get a day time talk show.

Re: mudbuddy unstable try and re locate a lot of your stuff.
Battery/gas tank/cooler etc.... Move it forward
Try and find that good balance point on your boat at WOT by yourself and - it's kind of a trial by fire.
Good luck

Re: mudbuddy unstable The first thing you better do is get a life jacket and then start moving stuff around.

Re: mudbuddy unstable i moved my battry into my dry box an my gas tank up to the front now i just need to test it. yes i made sure the pods tilted up a little it might be a little more then half inch. this is my first year with a mud buddy is it suppossed to be so hard to turn and keep my prop down when running full throttle
