Hey everyone, Allen from Darrow, LA. Nice to meet yall. I need some help with my mm project. I'm looking for a short tail frame or complete setup with a blown motor. Prefer gator tail or mud buddy due to the type of motors I have. Also does any other company besides Bog Hog make frame kits?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the site. Give BoatDr in Harahan,LA a call (504) 737-1203- He does a ton of service work and may have a line on a blown one or can get you a new MB frame kit (they sell them separately, not sure of the others).

Thanks, will do. Anyone ever have any luck using a regular outboard med and lower? Just wondering

It has been done, but you would need a vertical shaft motor. You stated you were looking for something that would hold a horizontal...

I do prefer the short tail setup. The two motors i have are a grizzly 660 an a harley 1000 sportster. If i went with the out board setup i would have to use a high speed 90 degree gear box ( which i really dont want to deal with). But the option of forward, neutral and reverse, trim, parts and its pretty easy to find a blown outboard for really cheap. I was just wondering if the design and prop selections for the outboard would do good in the mud.

I could just have some brackets coming off the mounting base and off the top of the motor, no real big deal. I would more than likely make a shield/grill for the radiator

the problem with the outboard set up is the bushing in the outboard propeller when u get in some nasty u will just spin the bushin and not the prop!!!

Didnt really think about that

gonna keep looking for short tail frame, but gonna keep those options open.

If youre pretty mechanically enclined, build your own!

No problem Bro that's why we are here cause 100 of us with all of our idea's could help 1 guy not to f..k up to bad LOL!!!!

I've been kicking around the idea of building my own frame. I got some prices on new frames. Might give it a shot
