Predator 670cc/MudWalker Surface Drive (new powerhead test run) -- this is pretty much the exact mud motor setup that i am planning to put onto my 30ft cabin cruiser.. i expect it should get at least five to eight knots.

I've never heard of putting a mud motor on a cabin cruiser. Why would you do that instead of a normal one?

Easy to maintain.. if the prop spins off, I don't have to dive to replace it.. if the motor blows up, I don't need to go to shipyard and hoist it out, I just call harbor freight and buy another.

My current engine is an eight cylinder, which requires a shipyard to replace..

An outboard conversion would require a complex mount..

The mud motor won't do reverse, but I don't care..

Think you could put that on a sailboat?

People run thirty a sailboat all day long on ten horsepower. Not real fast, but it goes.. and since my goal is not to go in the ocean, but I would focus on the intracoastal waterway...

And I have had a change of plans... I Amin the beginning stages of going into battle with saidit.. a bot battle.. as I see it, I can post close to 20k messages per day or more, including posts and comments It would be my goal to become the top and most effective spreader of information at saidit
