Does anyone recall a recent link that showed a video of a stern drive that was shown motoring through mud and muck and what not?
Thanks!
Rob

Prodrive makes an outboard that will go through just about anything.

I posted a link to a http://www.go-devil.com/ video.

They are called surface drives typically.

Basically they all use air cooled lawn mower engines so there is no water pickup issues along with a small strong prop to chew through anything.

Could probably use one to trench out a sprinkler system in your yard if need be.
