Question about building a mudmotor
I've got a 35hp kawasaki ultralight airplane engine. It is beltdriven. How hard would it be for me to build a surface drive mudmotor with this thing? Is it just as simple as setting it on like a mudbuddy, godevil or gatortail frame?

Re: Question about building a mudmotor
If its a 2 stroke it won't work well cause it aint got the low end torque needed in the mud~ sorry

Re: Question about building a mudmotor
With an airboat propeller - yes - right....
With a mudscrew - no - not gonna do it, nope noway... unless you use a very small pitch like what a 6 hp might use..... or a 3 to one reduction gear.... but that is silly.....
It's made for a blow job - use it that way....

Re: Question about building a mudmotor
I thank what he is tryin' to tell you is ..... TwoStroke applications are different than the FourStroke applications. Thats the way I be understandin' it anyway.

Re: Question about building a mudmotor
Two stroke makes way more horse power per cc. 4 stroke makes way more torque. Torque is what gets you to your horsePOWER band of sorts. It takes torque to get something moving, horsepower keeps it moving

Kyle at Gator Tail had a Rotax on a GT frame. He said it hauled ass but was very loud.

Re: Question about building a mudmotor
So it will take me longer to get on plane, but when I do it will run like a scalded dog?
