Mud Boats
Making one at home out of fiberglass is easy as can be and cheaper then buying one. We built three in a week one for each of us and one for a friend... the cost for the wood, fiberglass, resin, ect... came out to $160 dollars a boat and took hardly no time at all. My husband bought a Rickshaw motor for his for around 700 dollars you dont need a transom and it works really well with the boat. They're layout boats they work great....

Where did you get the plans? I am thinking about building one myself. I currently own an Otter Stealth 2000 and really like it, but kinda want something lower profile that I can hide easier.
Pics would be cool as well.

I have a 1754 Grizzlly tracker with a 35 hp hyper drive on it. I guide duck hunts and have hunted myself with 4 hunters in it no problem. It has plenty of power and will run in almost nothing. Before this boat I had a 1542 Seark Duckhawk with a 13 hp mudbuddy on it. Great boat and motor. I do enjoy the short shaft much more than the long tail though. Good luck.
