Post 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.

Try another forum. And try searching it. Many many people have asked this question.

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

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
