Cheapest mud motor kit on Amazon run up shallow log filled creek.

This is the cheapest mud motor kit on Amazon with a built predator 212 and 7" propeller. 15mph top speed with this prop pushing a 1448v weldbilt jon boat.

I'm trying to decide between a jetjon and something like this for running up some shallow rock bottom creeks. Which one would be better?

[@TheDuke539]

Personally I'd take a jet Jon on rocks.

Like the exhaust, it quite it down any?

[@TheDuke539]

Thanks, it’s a lot quieter than a straight pipe. Still not quiet, but a lot more manageable.

@@TheDuke539do you have a material list that what you bought I’ve wanted to build one but wasn’t sure what to buy

@@anthonykontos7931I bought the “7.5hp outboard motor kit (not included machine)” sold by “ng nopteg” on Amazon. It’s currently listed at $162 plus $25 shipping. I modified the mount that comes with the kit, but mudskipper sells a traditional style transom mount for ~ $50. A selection of long tail prop sizes - I ordered 6.5” 7”, and 7.5”. 7” seems the best all around (will vary with size and weight of boat). Only loses 1-2 mph top speed but is easier for the engine to handle at or near idle. The engine is a non-hemi predator 212 from harbor freight.

The propellers also came from mudskipper.

Show amazon links. None have that mount

[@TheDuke539]

I made this mount from the H shaped one that you’re seeing on Amazon. Just welded it to a couple steel c clamps with square stock for reinforcement. Quick and dirty but works.

Did you have to drill and tap the props? If so what is the tap size?

[@TheDuke539]

Yes, M16x2.0.
