The bar gave me a lot of support when turning or going over beaver dams, logs, silt bars, etc. And it was a good brush guard too. I could also put a tarp from the top to the bow to cover people and stuff.
I put on a twist-grip motorcycle throttle which had a friction screw on it. I liked it much better than the paddle throttle for long cruises and it made high speed turns a lot easier and more fun.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.....
Hijack away....if I keep this thing I'll put a Gatortail hand throttle on it, similar to a motorcycle clutch or brake lever. I've heard others did a twist throttle but said it got more than interesting in turns. I always wear my kill switch, but most definitely with a twist throttle.
I've got mixed emotions about the whole mud motor thing. There is a bit of pressure to ban them. Federal refuges ban anything over 25hp and a prop size over 9". Trying to keep mud motors out. I understand the issue. Mud motors can be destructive if used irresponsibly. Many around here are.
