Thats a prodrive mud motor, its sorta like a go devil, air cooled, but it has a gear case and all like a real outboard. Real interesting design and the videos on the site are impressive. Expensive and heavy though.

This is cool too, a diesal outboard.

Zooker in all actuality the only difference between the 2 is the fact that the red diesel does not have the road tax imposed on it like the green diesel does. You can in fact be fined and fined heavily if caught using the Red diesel in a vehicle that is used on the roads. There would be a fine line for using it in the boats. Hmmmmm thats something I need to chewck out.

Who Would Want A Diesel Fuel Motor With The Price Of $4.00 A Gallon

$4.15 here.. poeple who would use such a moter as a kicker on a diesel powered boat. that way you don't have to mess around with 2 differant fuels,extra gas tanks, ect... just plumb in a new line and run a hose off the main moter fuel tank.. quick easy saves a ton of room..

I wonder if it wouldn't be good for trolling too? You know lots of running at a low speed, people who need that...
