I am considering replacing my outboard with a Mud Motor for more marsh access in South Florida. I spoke with someone from Mud Buddy and for that size boat, suggsted the 45/55 Black Death series. I also like the reverse feature on the Gator Tail Mud Motor. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Thanks for the input. I like the reverse feature. Roughly what kind of speed do you think I can expect with a 35 Gator Tail on a 17ft aluminum boat?

Just put it on there and if you feel you need extra bracing you can always add it later, its up to your descression

I appreciate the info. I spoke with a MB dealer and he pretty much said the same thing about bracing the transom. Any thoughts or experience on tiller vs remote steering?

tiller is more manuverable and easier to handle in the timber, remote is easier to handle on long distance runs.
