I have always wanted a Jon boat with a mud motor.....you can really get back into some emote places with one.
They are popular in Florida.
I realize I'm digging up an old thread here, but I would love to hear how this thing has performed since you finished it. I used to own a surface drive that was stolen, so I'm thinking about building one some day. I like the fact that you truly started from scratch, including having to buy your welding equipment! That's where I would have to start and it is a bit overwhelming. I would love to get some tips or plans or whatever you are willing to share.
Great job!
I love my mud skipper. Here it is in action on the Williamson River. I use it for fishing and hunting. I'm going to get a bigger one soon.

due to the 5000 feet elevation I had to change out to a air filter that flows better

Since I built my mud motor , I bough a vertical milling machine and made a bunch of gun parts . Mono Pod for my non- California compliant Ar -15 :) , muzzle brake for my Ruger MKIII and a tool to tighten it . Anti rotation pins in the AR15 and Trigger adjusting screw . I love building my own stuff . :) .

I also cut and threaded the Ruger MkIII for the muzzle brake and a California illegal silencer :) ,so glad I live in Utah where our local government trusts us :) knowing darn well crooks will have these things no matter what laws .
Rob...where did you find all the parts...ie, pulleys, bearings, shaft tube, etc. How do you know what size to get etc.
Sorry , I have not been on here for a while . I bought some plans off eBay . Then modified then to us a larger motor . I bought a lot of the part from Mc Castercar and the steel 4x6.tube for the belt housing from online steel company . I changed a lot from the plans .heavier steel in the transom part . Belt adjuster , 30 MM wide trimming belts vs vbelt. The plans were for a 8 go ,mine is 15 hp
