 Advantage Mud motor kit Does anyone have any experience with these motors ? Specifically the surface drive frame. Pros/cons? Any information appreciated. Thanks

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit Looks like what would happpen if a dixie, orion and mangrove all got together.
Chain driven, website says its a universal kit (price is the same for each kit). I wonder if they each have the same prop? Through my limited reading, I couldnt see what size props were going on each unit.
Personally I'd save my money and wait to see how they are before going through the headache of fixing it if its junk or doing the R&D for them. The pics don't look very promising.

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit I asked them about prop size and didn't get much info other than they are sized appropriately to hp of engine - haha already have frame ordered so I guess I'm doing R&D for them - was just seeing if someone has one yet- I have a motor so when it comes in and I get it painted and put together I'll post my findings

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit Didn't the guy building these post on here earlier this year with the design?

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit When props hit stuff and they are belt driven the belt can slip and absorb shock. The chain cannot, it's direct trauma

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit Plus unless you have an oiler on the chain, if it gets wet it will tend to rust and seize up making it run rough and possibly causing it to break, which will leave you stranded and having to be towed in unless you keep master link parts and tools in the boat

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit Bad wording. Stretch would have been a better verb

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit Looks like your bottom engine bolts may be in upside down. ? You might need the room for clearance when the engine is rotating The Advantage Mud Motor looks nice though.

Re: Advantage Mud motor kit How does it run Darel?
I looked at them once, but their customer service seemed to be garbage. They wouldn't answer any questions - kept directing me to their website, which didn't show what I wanted to know.
