I'm thinking of buying a War Eagle 648 and can't decide what to power it with. The boat will be used in open water and tight shallow rivers and lakes. How will the Mud Motor "Pro Drive" handle open choppy water? Where we hunt the open water we can hug the shore out of the chop, but at one point we have to cross the open water about a mile into the islands. I know mud motors are slower than out boards but I like the fact you don't have to worry about hitting debries in the shallows. What do you all think? It's between a Pro Drive 32 and a Mercury 4 stroke.
