mud buddy makes a performance kit for the hyper drives... you get a little bit more out of them.....
you really wanna run it hot... take it to a go cart shop and get out your checkbook :)

We are taking it out for the first time with the new boat we had it on a 16' polor craft last year. we gat a gator trax for it this year. They told us short of dry land we will be lucky if we get it stuck.

Got out in the mud boat today, it ran great. 101 36V minn kota realy moves that 18' beer can, Caught a bass on the slop monkey in 12" water out of a bush. it feels good to feel something on the end of the rod after a long winter (3lb). We also ran the boat through a corn field and some ones front yard. The water is real high.

ahhh... a 17' gator trax, a 29hp hyper drive, flooded cornfields and dry ground..... brings back fond memories of running out of water and coming to an ABRUPT stop causing me to PROMPTLY exit the vessel!

the didn't even start until the 2 of us had to get out and move a 600lb boat off dry sandy ground and get it back into enough water for it to float!!

I found it will go through just about anything but sand will bring it to a dead stop everytime.
