Help with cleaning out mud boat runs!
 
Any info on who in the Grand Chenier area cleans out and deepens mud boat runs. Seems I remember a coupla guys who had a mud boat with a chopper on the front that did this type of work. Any help would be appreciated!

There are some boys in Lake Arthur that do it but I can't remember the name. They own a landscape company and clean ditches on the side. Having said that, if you have not done it yet it is probably too late and the water is too low to work. All the machines I have heard of need a minimum amount of water to be able to work.

Look up Hornsby lawn service in Lake Arthur.

I have some specs on a piece of equipment you can build to plow your cuts. I have watched one work firsthand and it was amazing.

Haha just messin with ya....Both have their own ups and downs. I like the gator tail with the instant reverse.

speck-chaser 11-08-2011 10:23 PM

Just not too instant when stuck in the mud. LOl. Pro drive less than 3 seconds. Hehe

The new reverse plate they came out with recently helps that problem alot. My podna just put one on his and it is a night and day difference.

speck-chaser 11-08-2011 10:31 PM

What does the plate do?

Forces water/mud around the prop to prevent cavitation during reverse.

Wanna put a jack plate on mine.
