Alright need a little clarity. I have a 13hp longtail on my 17' river flat bottom. This boat has ribs on the bottom and I keep seeing posts about surface drives not working right unless you have a slick flat bottom. I live in Texas and hunt on lakes that just get shallow cause of drought. Im not trying to James Bond on dry land or spend all day in a mud flat doggin my motor around. Don't get me wrong it looks cool, anyways I can't front enough money for the motor and a new boat so any comments would be appreciated thanks. I want a surface drive to go faster in the Deep water to bass fish that's all. |

Slap a big block on it and run it like you stole it. A SD has no problem with ribs, just performs better without when sliding over obstacles. And we don't James bind shit, we John Wayne |

Forkin right, Rooster Cogburn style! Welcome to the site. Nobody is saying a ribbed boat won't go with a sd, we are just saying it is not ideal. Go ahead and slap a big block on it and use it until you can afford a mud motor hull. Warning! if you go for a ride with someone that has one of these hulls, you will have one within one year. Its a horrible addiction. |

I had my gtr on a hull that had 3 ribs on it and it didn't stop me from doing anything. The only difference I saw was in thick hyacinth or straight mud. Still didn't deter me from doing anything or going anywhere. |
