 F&f boat with a mud motor? I'm thinking about buying an f&f boat with a 36 Prodrive. How well do y'all think the boat will hold up to the abuse if a mud motor? I will be using the boat mostly on the coast, so stumps and logs really won't be an issue, just curious on the durability of the transom.

Re: F&f boat with a mud motor? Ive had one. I think you'd be ok but it's far from a custom boat in my mind. I've seen a lot better boats out there but hey, if the price is right, go for it. I've only seen f and f boats with ribs on the bottom but I guess they make tru flat but I'd ask first. I wouldn't run a mud boat with ribs.

Re: F&f boat with a mud motor? make sure the transom height and angle are compatible with the motor you choose.

Re: F&f boat with a mud motor? The one from tn for sale. It does have ribs. I'm not concerned if I can't run through pure mud but I would like to do ok in very shallow water with it. Y'all's opinion?
