I have worked on all mentioned brands and all have their strong and weak points. If reverse is what you are needing, prodrive or gatortail. If not Mudbuddy or Godevil. The engines are the same but Mudbuddy offers different aftermarket addons to their motors giving them some more horses. I like the Briggs motors the most as they are easy to work on. I can have one apart in no time slapping on new heads and so on. Very easy to work on. The stock exhaust is crap unless you get the cdi motor which comes with stainless. The cdi has a built in rev limiter which will limit you to about 4400 rpms if you decide to hop it up where the regular has a governor which you remove when you do the addons and add a rev box and interchangeable chips. The one I run does not have a chip and will hold together at 5600. If you want the boat to have better throttle response and hold a load, get aftermarket exhaust and the single mikuni carb! Makes a great difference and wakes the motor up. Sorry for the ramble but I love working on them and if you have a any questions please shoot away
