Default 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.

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.

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