 Mods vs. new motor
I've got a chunk of cash Layin around to do mods. BUT I was thinking...if I sell my motor I could prolly just upgrade to a new gtr. What's everyone's thoughts/opinions? Is this a no brainer? Got an older mudbuddy right now that's been good to me, but i know I'd love reverse.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
New motor. You can do all the mods you want to that mudbuddy and still won't have reverse. And you don't realize how useful it is until you have it.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
I run stock motors and they don't bother me at all. I love reverse also.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
Save a little more money and run it through hunting season and then buy an EFI model.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
Buy a $50 push pole and go forward with the mods.
Reverse is over-rated.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
Same thing here got rid of MB and bought new GTR and then added mods stage 2 after 50 hrs you will not regret it push poles are over rated.

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
I made it fine for years without reverse. But man, I spend a lot less time jocking that heavy ass boat around when I run into a dead end ditch now!

 Re: Mods vs. new motor
The switch it is. Can't say I've ever had it fail me before, but when there's one out there with reverse, it's Gona be hard to beat.
