Hi I'm new to MMT, been reading and learning a lot as I've never owned a mm but will be buying in the near future. I have a 14x42 Jon boat and just found a mud buddy 29 hp Kawasaki and was wondering if that is to big for my boat and if it's a good mm |

Its a good mm. Itll work but its alot of motor for that boat. That will get you out of pretty much anything it gets you into. just be careful. |

My buddy has one on a 1554 Jon. Tac read 2,200 when he bought it. That was 8 years ago. He can go just about anywhere he wants. Good motor for sure. |

It will be ok, just beef up that transom and put some splash guards so you dont swamp |

I ran one on back of a 1440 I had. I had to build a box behind the front deck to house the battery and gas tank, becuase with either one of them in the rear the stern squatted too bad. Once I moved some weight to the front of the boat she ran like a champ. |

Thanks I think it might be a bit much for my boat, I'll just keep saving for a backwater 23hp |

I found it on trapperman.com $2000 located on south central Iowa, it's 4 pages deep in the trap shed titled mudd motor, my boat is a alumacraft and I load it extremely heavy during season so I think I better just go with a smaller one, I talked to back water n will prolly go that route |

why not try and find you a larger boat so you have more room? |

Most of my loading and unloading is done in a inch or less of water with a bit of dragging, had a 16x48 but it was real tough to drag n load n unload, love my 14' just need a mm |

Back Water is the way to go. I have a 23 Swomp on a 1448 and it's a sweet combo. Run your gas tank or battery up front and you will have a sweet setup. |

I had a 23 hp mudbuddy on a 14x42 jon boat and it was the perfect setup until I squared a stump up just right. Boat got a hole the size of your fist. Good thing I was close to the bank. Other than that I loved that combo. |
