How would a mud motor( with reverse ) as a kicker motor perform? I have a big fan for bowfishing and its abit loud for me throwing around the idea of a 23-25 hp mud motor. what yall think? MY BOAT DSCN2395.JPG

If it's for low speeds you might be able to get away with a smaller motor like the copper head

yea just for trolling just thought they be tougher than a outboard kicker. i would be rigging it to b drove from the front ,like my fan.

Look at the 12hp copperhead, they are light and everyone seems to have good things to say about em

It's gonna be hard to get one to reverse from the front. If you shoot tournaments you gotta remember they muddy the water up unlike a fan.

hell my fan muddys the water up pretty bad in the shallows . just a hell of alot of noise coming from a 35hp fan ,and 60in blades.

My first idea was to have a outboard with a Gtr behind it on a fan tail were you could use outboard to run and mm to fish

yea thats what i am thinking about doing just aint decided .

I tell you this I fish shallow water really shallow. I'll put 7 people in my boat and will run pure mud.

well i can run 6in of hard bottom with 4 guys 200lb+ ,fish 300lb+ two 25gal tanks, two batts, 3000 honda genaratot., in a 1772 boat ,etc.. only problem dam fan is loud!! lol

thinking that i run a mini console own the front deck with a 23-27hp gatortail or prodrive as a kicker it might fish ok.

Well were ear plugs then lol

like this??

I just had a great idea for my flats boat

well it have to b setup for remote steer.
