 New to mud motors. Need some advice
I'm finally gonna break down and buy me a shallow water rig. I'm tired of waking half a mile to the blind because my outboard won't get me all the way there. I already know what size I want and everything I just need some insight on brands. I've narrowed it down to a pro drive or a gator tail 35. What are some of the pros and cons to each and which one would be the best investment.

Comments:
____________________________________________________________
Other Helpful Tips and Rules for a Good Review:
1. Include mm brand,hp and boat brand in title. 2. Include speeds in shallow and deep water if possible. 3. Hunting load carrying ablity if possible. 4. Conditions tested in, approx weight in boat when tested. 5. Size of boat, layout, things you like or dislike about it. 6. Please don't ask ?'s in your review, ask questions in the CMF Forum 7. Please post as many pictures as you want. 8. All pros & cons about entire set up, how it runs in mud etc.. 9. If you don't see your post here, its because it didn't follow these simple rules. You won't be notified either. 10. Once again only post reviews of mud motors and boats here, all first post that ask for advice will be moved.

 Re: New to mud motors. Need some advice
I've gotta agree with the review part, but on the other hand. one person telling him where to look should be enough. Shit it only like his 3rd post or something. Talk about putting out a good face for new members sheez

 Re: New to mud motors. Need some advice
I understand life is a bitch but if someone asking a question pisses you off maybe just maybe looking at a post titled. "New to mm. And have a question. Or something like that should be a indication maybe it contains stupid stuff or something not worth wasting ya'll precious time. But instead it seems like its a obvious reason to bash on a new member.gfys

I like dumbasses but their opinions or reviews don't count- how are you going to laugh anyway?
