    Default Smallest Surface Drive Made

    I heard this motor was coming to market about two months ago and saw it yesterday. The video is interesting. I'd be curious to see what it can do in straight mud. Website is limited to the videos but they must have pushed it out for the public to see the motor run.

    I saw a post on the Refuge about them that said they were selling for $2250!!! That's steep for a 6.5hp motor!! Wonder if MudBuddy is ever going to come out with the 9hp Robin surface drive? It would be nice to have something that would plane out with two people and hunting gear. I've got a WMA by the house that has a 10hp limit on it and the paddling just won't cut it if I want to get to the upper end. It's about six miles up there and I'm just not paddling that far!!
    Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL

    That would be nice on the 12 ft. Been thinking about putting a motor on it, this just gives another option other than the long tail.

    They've been using tiny mud motors in the Amazon jungle for years:
