Thought it would be cool to see what everybody's first rig was before they upgraded to thier newer rigs. I ran a 1442 with a 13hp lt, then upgraded to 24hp |

1970 rivited Sears 15/52 with a 25 Yamaha. When I burnt it up, I bought a 25 Suki. Yes, they were too mud boats, they just shouldn't have been. lol Traded the Sears for a 15/48 G3. Sold the Suki before I killed it & bought a 27 MB. I don't have the time or energy to post em all since then. Sent from my Commando |

First mud rig was a 14' pirogue with a 5hp Briggs. Direct drive. the shaft came straight out the back of the pirogue. It ran good til ya tried to "gas on it". When ya gave it too much throttle it would nosedive and that was that. Called it the hell diver. Spent more time on the bottom than it did floatin. That was back bout 25 or so years ago. Fun times. |
