Mud motors have come a long way the past ten
years. One of the most important improvements welcomed by
hunters and fisherman was the introduction of the large block
Vanguard 29, 31 and 35 horse engines three years ago. Today
these amazingly dependable and strong engines dominate the
backwater motor industry allowing customers to push larger boats
and loads like never before.
This year Mud Buddy is proud to introduce a full line of
after-market performance kits designed to enhance the power of
Mud Buddy Vanguard motor models like the Sport, Hunter and HD
Lite.
If you like power - just bolt one of these kits on to your
Mud Buddy and you will instantly feel more aggressive throttle
response, better mid range and enhanced top end speeds.
