shallow water boats

[Reefman]

17'x 42" alweld tunnel w/ 25hp Yam, 2 stroke (normal water heights in GC marsh) and a 18'x48" w/ a 36hp GD long tail...use the last one for mud flats and extremely shallow running. Haven't stuck it yet......heck of a set up for marsh hunting.

i have a 18' 42" tunnel hull with a 97 yamaha 25 thats had some minor work done to it, it gets up in 8 to 12 inches of water depending on the load not the best motor for the boat but still does everything i want if my 25 ever gives out i plan getting something with a little more behind it

18x42 weldcraft tunnel 40 merc, very little free board so it gets up in 3" and runs like a spotted azz ape.

3 cylinders, i had a 2 cyliinder and it was a good motor but not very strong

i had it on a 14 ft alweld and i miss that boat that motor on a 14 ft flat will straight up role for being a 25

when i bought the 18 ft the tunnel wasnt vented so i got that done and had to take it from a 13 pitch down to a 12 and its cupped hard enough to eat a bowl of gumbo now

it runs pretty good for an old 25 on a big boat

Those are some great motors, especially with 40 tohatsu carbs and some of that Cajun Christian magic dust.

yeah i know what you mean he is a magician.

the only bad thing about the 40 carbs which i have is the fuel pump is on the middle carb.

on the original carbs the fuel pump is on bottom so you have to do some "fancy plumbing" thats a quote from the magician himself because i didnt even know it was 40 carbs.

thats the problem i ran into a couple weeks ago the way my hoses are run under the shifter linkage and the hose was gettin old and bein in such a bind it finally split while i was on the water and i had no idea what was goin on

18x38 GoDevil boat with 36 Prodrive.Not the best big water boat but hard to beat in the marsh.

Good to see all these boats. There is a red fish series about to start for mud motor boats and shallow water
Boats with engines no larger then 60hp... Going to be such a good tourney... Some big sponsors as well

[Marshrat]

I have a homemade 18' X 48 tunnel hull with a 90 hp Mercury Optimax that I use for running crab cages and trot lines and also to hunt with.

That has to be one of the nicest setups I have seen on a smaller aluminium boat, not many people will put time and money you have into a smaller boat
