 Re: Looking to get a new frame
They are letting me help with the build so if that makes me a troll (whatever that is suppose to mean) then so be it....

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
Shoulda got a back water frame. I understand going local but I would think durability would trump going local. The S.W.O.M.P. frames are burly and their all around reputation is top notch.

 Looking to get a new frame
I have a local backwater dealer, checked them out but decided to go custom rather than with that plain DOM tubing look. They have a nice frame I just wanted something different....

 Looking to get a new frame
Mayhem has a good reputation here and have been known to drop everything, load a boat, and go to customer in the marsh to address breakdowns. Will back water do that? I doubt it! Every motor is going to have issues at some point I am buying from Mayhem because they have superior customer service.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
I glad you really like the Mayhem frame but from a real engineering standpoint the BW frame is superior. You need a little more experience before dogging BW.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
LOL. Ok, guy. Still doesn't change the fact that it looks like a kid built it in shop class. Probably would get a "B" for the project. As for your build, maybe start your own thread and don't hack this one.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
I actually never said that kibb, I just said ppf built a nice little motor. Go-devil makes a good motor for sure. If they didn't they wouldn't be around this long. They too have been outdone by the boys at back water however. You got your man panties in a bunch over it too.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
Haven't ever heard of one breaking let alone multiple welds breaking.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
And that is why there is a warranty. Are you implying that no other manufacturer has had a weld break?

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
Haven't had one breaking the ones at work. One is 20 and one is ten years old.

 Re: Looking to get a new frame
Better bearing and drive shaft system. Hardly any oiling needed. Very beefy and clean looking frame. great customer service.
