Does anyone have one? I was thinking about buying the u weld it kit and doing the work myself. Any opinions?

i asked the same question a couple years ago and was informed that they were garbage. no personal experience, but just what i was told.

remember this ........... Thay said the Apollo was junk !!!!!!!


Looky what it did !!!!!

I personally couldn't afford the kits either so I made mine myself for much less.

i have thought about building one from scratch. i got ahold of a 20 hp motor. i was worried that would be too big for something homemade. i maybe wrong. for those of you that have built your own what size motor are you running with them?

We have built some for small one man boats, 5 - 6.5 hp and made plans for these. We personally don't see much difference in building a bigger one from the smaller ones, as a matter of fact we are planning on building a 20 hp one sometime latter this year...

alright, thanks for the insight. I'll have to think about it for a while yet. where in missouri are you from mudslinger i've been out there for the last 2 years hunting with a friend. KC area.

Beaver Tail sells the longtail frame for a 35 for 1200.

We are from around the Kansas City area...

very cool videos and great pictures seems i might have stumbled into a good bit of money (new better paying job) so i might be buying a brand new motor but anyhow thank you for all of your insight. Mudslinger i really like your setup. even if i buy a motor i may fool around with building my own (back up or just for another boat). where did you get your plans from? when i was hunting in missouri we hunted at a refuge, not gunna say which one for interent scouting reasons. that place what awesome, my friend that we stayed with has a camp like 2 minutes from there. we killed our mallards everyday and shot bonus ducks too, the best $39 for pretty much a guided hunt that i have ever spent. again thank you.
