ok it seems like most all the people on here either runn a PD or a GTR ... and hardly no one runs a MB. are the PD and GTR that much better or what ?

personal preferance

REVERSE,once you have it you cannot go without it!

There are other Forums where you will see a much different mix. Happens this site has majority PD and GT. There are some MB here like myself.

None of them are 'that much better', they all have their + / - .

Also different parts of the country have different mixes of brands
at the boat ramp.... Here in my area most are GD followed by PD
a few GT and almost no MB....

Not an opinion - just an observation...

Truff be known 'bout this site is ~ It's not the tiller the hands on .... it's the hand thats on the tiller !!!

In other words ...... Most folks here at MMT could give a RatsButt 'bout what you operate ....... we work on ALL of 'em !!!!!



But ~ In mines opinions .... thay ain't but one MudMotorMachineThang made !!!!!

What's a mud fuddy?

Gigafowl- was that you I saw yesterday pulling another mud motor in? I saw 2 yesterday in Trinity heading towards the bayous that run back to Hugo Point area.

i cant speak for giggle shits area but i know by ma house its a pretty diverse group of mm owners. u jus gotta find out whats gonna meet your needs da most.. some need da instant reverse,some want the fpr, while some dont need it at all.. your choice

I agree that what you see at a boat ramp close to you can have some regional implications. Out west, 95+ per cent of the short tails that I have seen are Mudbuddy. I run a Prodrive. The only one I have ever seen in Idaho. Have seen a Gatortail or two and have never laid eyes on a Go Devil Surface Drive.

What you see in your area can be affected by:
1) Proximity to the manufacturer
2) Is there a dealer in your area?
3) Is he any good?

well where i hunt @ its mostly out boreds its not to um comon for me to pull up @ the check station @ 5 pm be first in line get me a good nap wake up the next morn. there be 15 to 25 rigs and i will be the only mud motor in line.

but as far as motors go i prefer the biger horse power mine is @ 52 horses. it will still run in the 20's with 7 people in it....

Does anyone actually have any national sales figures for ANY of the MM brands ???

Those I would love to see.....

So who sells the most units per year ????

Mudbuddy.

See a lot of MB owners in my area cause that's the only dealer we have. And old go-devil longtails cause forever that's all there was, and old farts just can't seem to shake down and get something new. But on this site you have the serious crowd that take it a little further than what the dealer down the road has. The motors are all the same, but Gator-tail and Prodrive by far have the better rigs. I really don't know what the heck MB and Go-devil are waiting on, but once there are enough GTR and PD dealers around, anything without reverse won't even get a second glance anymore.

well craig if your gtr is that much better. than how about we go for a ride soon...

Up here PD and MB are the most common, then the GD. Only seen one GT on the pool in the last 3 years.

well i am not up set with what people said its all just an opinion... your the one trying turn it in to a p*cker measuring compitition... if yours is really that great then, WHY DONT YOU WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE ? ? ?


HMMMMMMMM ! ! ! !

I'm going to go run Saturday & Sunday if anyone wants to go

You will see more go devils and mud buddys because coco has been around for like 25 years(I've still got one thats 20 years old) and mud buddy has been around for 15. I believe thats what I saw.

Anyway they were already established with dealers around the country.This makes it easy for go devil and mud buddy to sell more because they have been around and in most places they are the only game in town.I would be reluctant to buy anything that if I had warranty issues I could not bring it to be serviced.If you were to have only one car dealership in your town and the compition was 500 miles away that car dealership would sell alot of cars because they were there and all your neighbors would have them to.

plans have changed for me. i will be heading off shore sat. but sunday i am going to go ride wallisville
