 improved mud motor/boatHey
I’m working on a school project and as a Louisiana native you know I picked mud motors as the topic. I could use yalls help answering the following question. If you could improve 1 thing about mud motors/boats, what would it be? Thanks, Jay |

Re: improved mud motor/boat It is almost impossible to improve the GatorTail as it is a great motor!I do believe that I would love to see a good E.F.I. engine on one!

Re: improved mud motor/boat if you could figure out how to mount dual gator tails on a 1848 it would be unstopable

Re: improved mud motor/boat POWER! A gatortail that could carry a load like a 150 yamaha without having to mod it out. If someone could figure out a clutch that could handle some power, that would make one hell of a cc boat. It would truly be a all around boat.

Re: improved mud motor/boat Thanks for the feedback. This is good info. I think broz said it best. An improved mud boat would run like a full sized outboard (power, speed, fuel, reliability, reverse) but could run through mud too.
