 Re: mud motor
You forgot to post the cypher key. I'm unfamiliar with the code you are using.

 Re: mud motor
Why not just start off with a 23? Weight will be pretty close

 Re: mud motor
The first post felt like a 10 year old kid with ADD asking a question as fast as he possible could. Dang i was looking for a period, or a comma so i could take a breath while reading it.

 Re: mud motor
yep will work. I swapped an 18hp briggs to a 24 Honda. Bolted right up to the mini frame. Just FYI the 14 mini has a lower gear reduction than a factory 23 mini. Also the 3/4 threaded shaft limits you to propeller choices. I had to have my prop machined to fit 3/4 shaft.

 Re: mud motor
Depends on if you re-gear or not.
