Quality. Performance. Price.
Over Three Decades
Mud Buddy Manufacturing is located near the Great Salt Lake in Utah where endless shallow water marshes grow vast amounts of waterfowl for the pacific flyway. The company was founded by Glenn Foreman in June 1994 with a goal to provide higher quality, higher horsepower shallow water motors for sportsmen who desire the quality, superior fit and finish and great customer service. Today, Mud Buddy is the world’s largest mud motor company with more Longtail and Short Tail Surface Drive Mud Motors than all other mud motor companies combined.

TESTIMONIALS
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help. I have enjoyed our conversations along the way. I am absolutely blown away this motor is way more than I expected, I couldn’t be happier. I don’t think I’ve seen a better looking motor on the water. Thank you and the muddy buddy family for putting out a great product with excellent customer service.
Bob Ivaldi
I have at 2016 37 hdr. Boat went down in 14 feet of water, when my motor had less than 10 hours on it. Pulled it back up after being in the water for 4-1/2 hours. I’m on 263 hours now and still going strong without any hic-ups. Damn good product! Will buy another one day if this thing ever quits going.
Burt Strahan
Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate doing business with your company. Your service and sales staff are a joy to work with and no matter where I go, on the duck marsh, or at outdoor show, I hear nothing but praise about your company.
Don Sowell

I have a Mud buddy 37 hdr for two years. Where I live doesn't have a lot of mud in the rivers just shallow and sand. Best investment I have ever made. Not having to worry about hitting stumps and losing a lower end or trying to stay in the channel. During the low times of the year, I have the river to myself. Great product, excellent customer service.
Gabe Cox
I run a 37 SportV and it handles great paired with an Excel F4 Viper. Shallow water hunting or “deep” water fishing it works great.
Ross Machurick
I have great service and experience with Mud Buddy. I own the Hyper Drive with reverse and it is almost like an outboard but goes in the muddy areas for my duck hunting. Lots of power and always starts right up and goes. Very pleased with this motor.
