guys/gals. i found on ebay a better alternative than paying $2000 for a motor. if your a serious duck hunter, but like me feeling the crunch of the faulty economy, this is your answer to owning a mud motor. you buy the plans for 29.99 and build a motor for around 700. thats a motor and prop and all the materals. i just bought the plans and im about to start my own. they list out all the past #'s from www.Mcmastercarr.com and they have videos of their own motors. give em a try.

most lawnmowers have a vertical shaft (and wont run on their side) easiest to do with a horizontal shaft motor

So to be a serious duck hunter, you have to have a mud motor ?

Anybody ever follow through with these plans? I'd be curious to know how they turn out and hold up. Shoot, for $700, i'll build one!

Sence it is gonna be on the water and not in a high dust enviroment why not goto surplus-center and get a snowblower motor the don't have an air filter on them and they are cheap

Besides a briggs don't need no stinking filter it runs like crap from day one but runs like crap from now on
