What new engine for my MudBuddy frame?

[bman]

I've got an older Mudbuddy Long Tail that the 27Kohler is just giving me too much trouble. Ready to throw it in the lake!

Anyone put a new motor on your MudBuddy frame?

I've got a smaller Honda 6.5 mudmotor and LOVE it....
Just not sure what Honda motor replaces a 27Kohler.

I figure even if I sell it I have to re-power...
Sggestions?

Barry, talk to Sid (Fastduck). He is the authority on all things mudmotors and boats.

What kind of troubles? I had a 27 Kohler on my first PD - I loved that motor (except they are a little cold blooded).

I think the 40 Kohler bolts will mount to that frame do that and it will be one bad ARS longtail!!

I dont know alot but I know the frame if it has a Kohler on it you cant put a Briggs on it. the bolt pattern is to different.

(should have bought a Go Devil)

I would stay away from the Honda. I've had two 25 Kohlers and now a 27 and they have been very reliable, but as D Duck noted, "cold-blooded". I would opt for a Briggs 23 rather than a Honda.

Generac motors will bolt right up to that motor and has the same bolt pattern and there's mods for also.
