[clint6933]

[rjt5127]

LMFAO at 3:38 !!! 36PD manual trim woulda got on a step in that soup. I enjoy passing up donkeys like yall to the blind after yall go out and ruin a $300 prop and put unnecessary wear and tear on the engine/drive system just for the hell of it.

[fishwestend]

@rjt5127 PD's do not run this area because they break & get stuck. The guys over there have removed 4 PD's from the area they never come back. If your paying $300 for a prop your the sucker! Your 36PD can't run as fast as these motors no offense but congrats on purchasing the slowest MM on the market lol

"showoff!"

lmao

[ruckingfetards]

gator-tail so sexy!

[bighunt986]

Which one do you have one your boat? GT or MB?

[fishwestend]

@bighunt986 Gator-Tail!

[bighunt986]

@fishwestend I dono which motor to test drive/buy. GT or PD. I heard the PD is better than the GT reverse and is better in the mud.

[fishwestend]

@bighunt986 Test drive both, the PD can not trim down as deep as the GTR, the GTR will pull my boat in reverse far enough to get me out, I do not need to run 20 MPH in reverse just because I can. I like the instant reverse feature on the GTR because you can easily set / retrieve dekes, pull away & back to dock with easy no comparison for me. Both great motors though

[bighunt986]

@fishwestend Im gona test drive my buddys GTR35 and my other buddies MB 35 Vanguard and the one with the MB runs his is the same mud and stuff I will be running mine in and says it will go with ease but just like everything else I assume its part of the driver as well and not 100% motor that gets you through some that nasty stuff.

[fishwestend]

@bighunt986 There is a learning curve to these motors, I will say that in the video above having reverse allowed me not to ever get stuck that day. check out mudmotortalk(Dot)com

[bighunt986]

@fishwestend I joined that a few days ago. It helps out alot and you can find great deals on there too.

[brax7on]

but whicch one is faster mb or gtr

[fishwestend]

@brax7on Do your homework they are both the same 35 hp b&s engine!

[brax7on]

does any body know which one is faster and lighter a gator tail or a mudbuddy?

[fishwestend]

@brax7on setxperformance(dot)com ask for Keith, Gator-Tail has reverse, mud buddy does not and I don't know about you but I like the instant reverse feature, while others are using push poles at the ramp I squeeze a lever and take a sip of beer LOL

[brax7on]

@brax7on which one is faster though

[fishwestend]

@brax7on There's a mud buddy mini and a 35 out there... The issue with Port Neches is that you need a long output shaft because of the deep mud so if you have a Gator-Tail, Go-Devil or Mud Buddy you can pretty much do good. A Pro-Drive can not trim down as deep as the other 3. There are trade offs with each motor but for me a Gator-Tail is where it's at!

[brax7on]

wow go to the place where the gator tail was and then witch one is better

[fishwestend]

@nikolmichele2011 umm how about reading the title!!

[nikolmichele2011]

where is this at?

[nikolmichele2011]

where is this at?

[50hptiller]

8:25 (cringe).....stock rods.......stock rods....ahhhhhh

[chops3131]

The mudbuddy is a ribed v-bottom cant compare it to a slick botom put that motor on a slick botom and see what happens LOL

[fishwestend]

There was a boat out there with a slick bottom bro w/ the MB on the back...

[btmelvin04]

@chops3131 i have a 1751 excel with a level 10 70 hp power mudbuddy on it if anyones interested in putting up sum money

[rcrblackno3]

What is the location of the mud fest?

[fishwestend]

@rcrblackno3 mudmotortalk(dot)com

[duck77619]

What do the Game Wardens think about yall tearing up the marsh?

[fishwestend]

@duck77619 not tearing up anything the mud flats go right back to normal once tide comes in. At least were not dumping fuel, oil and exhaust fumes straight into the water like all outboards!

[DeathmetalDukk]

Damn straight. And get the dude a frigging washcloth or some wet naps, he's licking his camera at :45 for christ's sake. XD

[fishwestend]

@DeathmetalDukk LMAO
