Duck Boat and Motor

[Yotey]

I am looking at getting a new Motor and Boat. I have checked out the Mud Buddy mini 23 and the Grizzly Tracker 1448 flat bottom Jons. Does anyone have any experience with these. How about the Lowe Boats any info on these would help.
Thanks

I had a 1442 G3 Jon with a 20hp Mud Buddy Longtail motor this spring until a hit a rock, which busted the prop and ended up bending the shaft. It would run thru almost anything here in Florida; weeds, mud, over logs--they suck in sand, which also wears bad on the prop fast. If I was to get another mud rig, it would be the ProDrive, but I'm looking for a airboat:D I've read and heard bad things about the Mud Buddy Hypers, but dont have any first hand experience. My longtail rig below, myself I was hitting 18 mph and 2 people would be at 14.5 mph.

That looks like a great rig! Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind.
