14'TDB/Marsh Hawk and mudmotor?

[BamaBill]

I know there was some discussion a while back and some that had mounted mudmotors on either of these, but I'd like to hear some more from those that have...pics, transom re-enforcement, motor type, size, handle modifications, etc.? Thanks.

Bill,

I've never heard of anyone putting a mudmotor on a tdb. after i bought one, i looked at all the pics i could find to see how guys were setting them up. never saw a mud motor on one. it's a fiberglass boat that poles real well in the shallows. is it a good idea to put a mudmotor on a fibeglass boat? i would think a fiberglass boat would get beat to hell travelling where a mudmotor would take it. it's rated for a 9.9hp. i have a 125lb 20hp on mine with remote control and stick steering. if you buy one and go with a standard outboard, i suggest getting power tilt.
i'm not familiar with the marsh hawk boat.

Here is what we came up with. It works great! For some reason I cannot get the image to stay rotated. Sorry!

LOL....nice...somehow I think a 14' would have some trouble with that setup. LOL
