Thanks Guys
I appreciate all your feedback. I spoke with a guy the other day that said he saw one 8x8 rig with a 25 horse on it. He said it planed out and moved right along? Any one ever seen one with more than a 10 hp?
I already have a mud boat for strictly water, but i wanted to start traveling some distances across floating bog country. That is why the 8x8 with tracks appeals. However I have to travel about 3-4 miles to get to the area, by ditches. I guess I need to go five a test drive and see how I feel about it. I actually have a 6 horse mud motor I thought about popping on the back. i can hold the prop down in the water a what ever depth works. Unfortuanately It sounds like it would be pretty slow with a 6 horse motor. The reason I have been asking is that I need to be able to travel on bogs and down long ditches. The 8x8 with an outboard had alot of appeal to me.

25 Horse Outboard on an Argo? What??
 I spoke with a guy two days ago that said he had seen an 8x8 outfitted with a 25 horse outboard. He claimed that it planed out, and hauled ass at the same time! Any of you guys seen any craziness like that?? LiveClean

Wow
That thing is as crazy as all get out! I bet it would be fun. That kind of rig would certainly do what I am looking for, except it would need to have tracks. I would think the size of the pontoons would be over kill!
Thanks for the link, it is pretty sweet!! Steve

More Argo/Outboard Motor Experiences Please!!
Guys,
I really appreciated all the post that I recieved on the post I made before. I am taking a 8x8 on a test run tomarrow and the guy is going to let me slam my 6 hrs mud motor on the back to get a feel for it in the water. I am still looking for others experiences if possible. How big of a motor do you run on it, how stable is it, what kinds of speeds can you achieve in open water. Any one run an outboard with tracks on it? Any of your stories are greatly appreciated!! Expecially the do's and donts. LiveClean

Our cruise at Lake Mead with our Outboard!
Hi,
We just made these videos from our trip to Lake Mead today. The first one I tried some creativity and did a "Pinks" comparison of tire propulsion vs. the '80s model 7.5hp Honda Outboard. The second one is showing the ride and my cheezy commentary...  ---Jim & Shin---
