Post Lessons Learned (May be helpful to new MM owners)
After having my rig in action for a week now and logging approx. 50 hrs on it, I thought I would share a few lessons learned that may help other new MM owners.

1. Sand will eat props.
2. Oysters will eat props.
3. GTR's will run through lilies. GTR's will run through mud. GTR's will not run through mud covered with lilies.
4. When your hull slides across mud, it will somehow magically slide towards the biggest log in the mud, no matter how far it is out of your current path.
5. Stop and help fellow MM owners...Do not grin and wave as you pass the stuck owner of another brand of MM. It is embarrasing to have the same boat pass you 10 minutes later with a grin and wave as you are stuck twice as bad.
6. Do not attempt to drydock your MM in a pile of cut grass.
7. "MM Stick time" only applies to mudmotors. 1000's of hours of stick time on outboards = 0 hrs sticktime on MMs .

When driving my 35GTR I have the motor in the top pin when in mud I remove the pin and run on bottom pin this allows me to trim down deeper.

Wear gloves if you work in the office all day blisters form quick :lol:

blisters,really. You must have some girly hands cause I've never gotten blisters from a mm :lol:

FYI no mm or mudboat will run straight mud and lillies, I could be wrong but there have been alot of stuck mofo's that tried.

8. Don't grip the handle it will dislocate your shoulder if you hit the log going fast enough
