Re: New boat and motor 1436 war eagle CH 23, 18, or 12 Don't buy a war eagle. Regardless of what they show in their ads, their hulls are not optimum for a mud motor.

Re: New boat and motor 1436 war eagle CH 23, 18, or 12 Also the 18 and 23 are within 3lbs of each other so go big you will need it.

Re: New boat and motor 1436 war eagle CH 23, 18, or 12 Where I hunt we don't have a lot of mud. Mostly shallow water with a lot of weeds, and we have to pull over dikes that are 10 ft tall and some are 100 ft wide so a lighter rig is better.

Re: New boat and motor 1436 war eagle CH 23, 18, or 12 I live 20 minutes from the War Eagle plant in AR and have owned several of their boats. If your running an outboard motor, no problems, but not a mud motor. A good friend of mine has a war eagle with a 23 HP SD GD on it and he is always complaining about issues with not matching the motor with the boat. I sold my war eagle and bought a GD boat/ SD motor and have no regrets. As far as an engine, buy the most horsepower you can afford. You won't regret it later.
