BOAT= Bust Out Another Thousand I've been there more times than i care to

If I had to take this thing to someone to do all of the work that I have done to it, it would be well into the thousands of dollars.

I hate conventional boat motors. There is ALWAYS something going wrong with them. ALWAYS.

I much prefer mud motors. So much simpler to work on.

I agree with that, i have a go-devil. When i was guiding in AK we got a sponsorship with johnson outboard's to test out their offshore series and we blew up 5 motors, luckily, we ran dual motors but coming back with one sucked. They flew them and techs in overnight every time until they figured out their oil diaphragms were to small. The siren would buzz and bam instantly blown. Taking my tracker deep v out Friday hopefully i have nothing to add to this thread.

I have a good buddy that only runs mud motors. That's pretty rare in illinois. He just bought a new Gator tail package. Really nice package, really solid. Only thing I don't care for is the noise.

I’ve been running a Gatorade-tail 35 on a 1860 gator tail boat with airboat plastic on the bottom for almost 20 years. Mine is not stock, highly modified, and is VERY loud. Lol

I have another one on a stand in my garage that is completely rebuilt. When my other one takes a crap, I’ll just pull it off and put this one on.

Mikuni 45 mm carb
Power cam
Roller rocker
3 angle valve job
Eagle roller rockers
Heads decked .020
Ported-polished
Hi-rev coils
Ss full flow exhaust

They run dangerously well. Lol
