I'm thinking of trying my hand at building a true mud boat. Does anyone have any knowledge or know where I can find a used marine motor to put in a flat boat? Thinking of a 150-200hp. Its all in the planning stage and will probably be for the next year. Just trying to get things lined up.

Why you need a marine engine?
A 350 with a radiator straight from a car would work.

We got a few mud boats with 350 and theyre bad!!!
Woodie no radiator use a keel cool system

I know a couple ppl that have izuzu engine in them like in te 100 hp area and thy run pretty good

This can still be had.

If i had that kind of money kibb i would buy it right now.

I'll look up the keel cool system. All this many be more than I can handle.

What kind of speed does the izuzu 100hp get beadlejuicejr?

that one on la sportsman looks like someone miscalculated

OK. So what I'm seeing here is that I'm in over my head about this idea. Its gonna cost more money and time than I have and still have a lot of maintenance. Idea deffered

I was just wanting something to get up river fast and still get to the duck hole. AND be different

more maintenance then anything

He already had the Charles Leonard hull and trailer. He added the sponsons, center console, outdrive, and engine. He said he put $15k for the additions. Thats all he was asking. Hes willing to work on the price.

Never gps one but run about 45 50. And the one on la sportsman isn't a mud boat Its a super godevil.
Like Garrett said alot of mantenance

Good call.
