Is anyone familiar with the River Run mud motors? the offer small MM's with a neutral clutch standard; and a reverse feature is available too. They use Kohler engines: 7, 9.5, 14 and 25HP. They look pretty well engineered and built. I am looking for a small SD in the 12-14HP range and like the Copperhead units, except no neutral and no reverse. Just wondering if anyone can give any useful feedback on the RR units? It will be a tough decision, since Copperhead is practically in my backyard , and any service or issues could be resolver a lot easier that dealing with someone in Florida. Thanks.

Sounds like you answered your own question....

I'd go with the proven unit with reliable service local to you...

I love both of the Copperhead units I have and I get prompt attention when I call.
