This will show the engine the mini kit was installed on, the kind of boat the mud motor was put on, along with the weight, speed, and RPM's.
Most people put the SPS Swamp Runner Mini Kit (30lbs) with the 3hp Predator Engine (22lbs) - This set up will total just under 55lbs and will be the lightest mud motor available.
Layout boats and small flat bottom jon boats seem to be the popular go to for the kit. User: jicard reached 11-mph in an 8' wooden layout boat with a stock 3hp predator engine and the 5.5" stock prop that came with his kit.
If you want a little more power, take a look at our SPS Small Swamp Runner Kit (46lbs) which is normally paired with a 6.5hp Predator engine (37.5lbs) totaling just under 85-lbs.

Finally, I can afford to go boating again. Laissez le bon temp rouler!

I would like to start by saying the mini Swamp Runner kit has been great. I don’t care what any “expert” says. My use would slaughter even the strongest outboard style mud motor and leave the American longtails impractically heavy. Many thanks

I just wanted to say thank you again. My mini kit has preformed flawlessly time and time again. Still using it in the Virginia creeks to get into the real skinny water. I keep it greased up and keep spare props ( haven’t had to replace one yet ) aaaaand it just keeps pushing. I’ll be a customer for as long as you guys are around.

Best kit for the money out there. Probably the best kit out there period. I’m very happy with it. The quality is great and it’ll get you where you want to go. They definitely have my business for all future long tail orders.
