 New with some Q's
Hello there, I'm new to MMT and to mud motors. I have a 1652 VT Lowe Roughneck with an outboard on it right now. I put pods on it in order to help with shallow water hunting. Now I've decided to get a Pro Drive for my hull. I realize it's not an optimal mud hull, but a whole new set up is not in the budget.
The help I'm looking for is a couple questions. Is anyone running this set up? How does it run? I may not have to space to rotate into reverse with the pods. Is reverse really needed or nice to have?
Thanks for your help guys.

 Re: New with some Q's
Pods = go with a Longtail
Pods do not go well with surface drives.
Reverse is nice to have, no, not a necessity.
If you have pods and dont want to remove them
Backwaterinc.com
Great LT setups

 Re: New with some Q's
What is the issue with pods and a surface drive? I would rather take them off than run a long tail.

They channel turbulent water to the prop.

 Re: New with some Q's
Remove the pods if going with a SD

Or you can get someone to install a hunt deck
