Post Building mud motor.
my duck hunting spot is getting to be very shallow and i am looking into building a mud motor without buying any kits. anyone have any tips or advice they can give me about when to get the parts needed. i want to build a long tail mud motor off of a 6.5 horse motor.

Forget the plans. These things are not rocket engines. Do some research online. Look at some pictures. Use a good side view picture to create a scale and take measurements on it. Ask questions.

oh yes very simple build. i built mine with the plans to get a rough idea on all of the dimensions and angles for the shaft. just a weekend in the garage is all it took to throw together.
