About Us

"Being the leader means creating a lifetime of memorable and exciting experiences."  
Glenn Foreman, Owner, Mud Buddy

History
Mud Buddy Manufacturing was founded in 1994 by is president and manager, Glenn Foreman. 

Mud Buddy is located in West Jordan, Utah near the shores of the Great Salt Lake, an inland body of water that 10,000 years ago covered an area that spanned Utah and parts of Idaho and Nevada.  Today the lake, however much smaller, is still the largest body of water in the western United States.  It is home to a large resident population of waterfowl and millions of migrating birds. 



This inland waterway hosts hundreds of miles of shoreline dotted with marshes that contain some of the best mud motor terrain in North America.  Our high mountain lakes, great rivers like the Green and Snake, along with dozens of waterfowl enclosures, provide some of the most challenging mud motor country anywhere.  Mud motors were developed here over 40 years ago to tackle waist deep mud, thick mats of weeds, boulder ridden streams, and log filled timber estuaries along river corridors.  It is here, where the world's finest  high-tech mud motors were developed. 

The Company
Today, Mud Buddy hosts a full component production facility of motors, blinds and boating accessories.  Mud Buddy is well known around the world, and our products can be seen at more than 200 marine outlets across North America. 

Mud Buddy products are the official hunting equipment of 8 state waterfowl associations. Mud Buddy is also a contributor and supporter of Delta Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited, Waterfowl USA and numerous other wildlife organizations.

The company is best known for developing the modern mud motor, the extended life mud motor patented bearing drive, patented mud motor seal system, a swivel assembly that allows longtails to rotate into the boat, computer designed frames, and a new generation of lightweight full feature hunting blinds.  We were the first to experiment with surface drive propellers in the mid 90s, long before the first short tails entered the market.  The list goes on.  These innovations and spearheading were so well received by a public waiting for something better, others quickly followed Mud Buddy's lead and many strive to offer these fine features as well.

Mud Buddy's greatest achievement was the design, engineering and manufacturing of the HyperDrive, the world's most advanced mud motor that does it all.

Why we build the Mud Buddy so strong and light.
The Great Salt Lake is four times saltier than the ocean, which caused us to build a highly corrosion-resistant frame.  And because we travel so far between shoreline marshes, we were also motivated to build the lightest and most powerful mud motors.



Our Overall Goal
The company endeavors to provide America with a new generation of backwater motors, blinds, custom duck boats, and hunting boat accessories featuring quality materials, superior components and leading edge design and technology.
