 Getting my 1st Mud Motor Buying my first mud motor this afternoon. 16 horse longtail. It's going to be a little underpowered on my 16X52 but excited either way!

Re: Getting my 1st Mud Motor Forgot to mention that it's 4 years old, runs great, and was only $500.

Re: Getting my 1st Mud Motor Damn that's a steal! My godevil will be 15 yrs old in a couple months and I wouldn't sell it for 500. Keep it greased, check for play in the prop, and give er hell. Let us know how you like it.

Re: Getting my 1st Mud Motor
It won't get anywhere fast! But it did get me through some pretty shallow water. I might look into getting a new prop and watch some forums on here for ways to give it more speed.

Re: Getting my 1st Mud Motor Slow and reliable is ok. All these ADD guys with all their mods! Who gives a rat's anterior end! Yeah, speed is overrated in the skinny with submerged objects. I started with an 18 HP GD LT on a 1436 and it was slow but so easy to hide, pull and shove over mudbanks, and I killed a mess of ducks and fish with it. I am presently very fulfilled with my 27 LT and my only wish is to plane at 20 mph with two hunters and gear- that means I need exactly 3 mph more! I'm one of those guys that actually drives at the speed limit.  Enjoy your rig, man!

Re: Getting my 1st Mud Motor I would like to get more speed out of it, but I am more than happy with it's performance only being 16 hp. I just use my dads 16X52 F&F w/ a 90 horse Johnson when I want to go fast!
