I have recently been very interested in building my own mud motor instead of buying one. This will be my first motor. What recommendations could you give me on what type or size of engine, hardware, or what kind of shafts to use while building. I have a 14 ft flat boat the motor will go on. Any recommendations would be great.

Buy a Sport V because soon the rest of the mud motors will be obsolete

I hear the sport v is a fairy tale at this point and unproven, Not good advice unless your kidding that is. I also understand this company has taken down payments on this motor and not delivered on their promises. Just saying.

All you need is....FAITH....TRUST....and......

I want to be able to carry at least 2 plus decoys. I will be using it in grassy water and very shallow areas about shin deep. I found a duromax 7 hp engine that im thinking about using. where would I get all the other hardware????

Look at the duromax 16hp.... alot of the parts can be ordered online or found at the napa store...
