Post First mud boat
I have a couple buddies I hunt with that have riveted jons with long tails and a buddy with a Gator trax and a surface drive. Im looking to buy my first hunting boat and i think it would be a great choice to go with a backwater 27 or 35, opinions? Also what do you guys recommend for hulls, id like to get a welded boat but id also like to keep the boat and motor combo under 10K. Any advice and knowledge would be great, such as flat front, mod vee, ect

Under 10k go on the classifieds and buy an 18 footer with a built 35 for that much! 10k will get you anything you want in good shape used!

Back h20. Swomp 35 will push just about anything , frank theTau , runs a 35 on a war eagle hull that's not a true mud hull. , river hull maybe , but it runs mid. 20's . A long tail likes a flat bottom. , you can taper up to a skiff bow , any kind of v you want or a battleship bow like woodie busters . My personnel hull choice for a 35 swomp would be 18' x48" sort of like woodies. , it would be bad ass.

There is nothing wrong with the boat in that ad. , pretty sweet actually , a lot of potential there. . Some gator glide, hydroturf , paint job. , some LEDs up front , build a pop up blind . Then run it like you stole it .

The 18' footer has a pro drive on it now , but it was a bad ass longtail rig .woodiebuster is located in choudrant la .
