Has anyone ran a surface drive on a grizzly boat or anything similar. Ive come across a deal where i can get a boat that has a little bit of damage from a car wreck for free and found a killer deal on a motor from a friend after this season. Just wanting to know if anyone has ever tried a setup like this,. Ill be putting the mud buddy hd 35 with a stage one kit on it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Im runnin a 16tracker sportsman with a 27 prodrive and have no complaints. Similar boat different enginges but i can go pretty much where i want. With me and my dad and 7 year old and gear can run 23.

ive heard that about its not a mud motor hull but here in central florida we dont have the big mudflats. just vegetation to worry about so im thinking it will be fine also.

Like ya said no mud flats all thick vegetation. I got a piece of quarter inch thick aluminum and used it as a brace for the transom it have no issues.
