jetman Die Hard Member II Registered: 01/07/11 Posts: 1702 Loc: almost Canada	I have been looking till my eyes are bleeding. I need to find an 18 foot by like 54 MUD boat very soon now. I have been looking from coast to coast. It looks like all the same boats are listed all over the net but there are only like 10 that are not from 5 years ago listings. I'm looking for near new to 10 years old, an actual mud hull with or can have a surface drive motor 40 hp or more. I want an FNR drive unit, mud buddy, Go devil, Backwater, or similar. It looks like Mud buddy has the bigger ones. BOSS has Big ones but I don't think they're what I want. Gator tail, Go devil, excel, and venom are real mud hulls. Has to be with a trailer and under $20K delivered to my door in MT. Does anyone have one, know of one know of somebody that has one or sitting in a boat dealer lot. It a cash sale on the spot if it is right. Please help me out! _________________________ Coyotes-R-Us It's all good all the time

All the used ones are either smaller than I want or Really used. And most on the southeast coast. A used one comes with a lot of neat stuff the owner has added. I was kinda getting ready to settle for something, not 100% what I wanted. Then, here is the DANG part. I feel like I'm on shark tank and Keven offered me a fair deal but right at the last minute Mark pops up and gives me what I asked for, but not all the extra stuff a used one would give me. I get a Quote from Mud Buddy today. For a new one.

That's WAY better than SLC of FL. Now dang, Do I keep looking for the unicorn or snatch this one up, and add the "Kool things" as we go?
