That looks like a BALL! Looks pretty efficent to me. They can even use the prop for a 'weedeater' to trim some of the limbs back. :thumright

Look like a little too fast to troll a streamer.

I kept wondering how they were going to keep from being catapulted forward when they hit something a little more solid than mud/gumbo. [razz]

I was thinking the same thing, I could see getting flung the heck out and landing in the brush #-o

Seems like a harley engine is an expensive way to go, I would think you could get alot more power with a lighter cheaper metric engine. :-"

I think all those mud boats have that bar [the big U] to hold onto as to help
in leaning and also a grab to brace yourself from being ejected from the boat??
I would think you would get hurt slamming into that thing thou.

That looks like fun. I had to watch it 2 times. I think it can be done cheaper then using a harley motor but that makes it sound badass.
More fish please!

As fun and cool as that looked. I got tired of hearing the noise that motor was putting out. The chase boat was quite, just as fast or faster. Couldn't or didn't go through the gumbo but followed the other boat over all obstacles. I thought the boat would go faster with all that horse power. Looked cool though.
