Mud Buddy Motors is one of the leading mud motor companies in the U.S. We provide top of the line outboard and longtail motors in the industry. Mud Buddy Manufacturing is located near the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The company was founded by Glenn Foreman in June 1994.During the Vietnam War, Glenn, an Army veteran saw shallow water motors navigate the jungle waterways of southeast Asia. Glenn Foreman grew up hunting and fishing in his native Utah, and in the mid-1990's took up building backwater motors to access distant and difficult to reach hunting marshes along the edge of the shallow Great Salt Lake in northern Utah. The family home became the workshop for a new generation of mud motors that featured longer lasting longtail bearing drives (patented), a new mount for turning the long motors into boats for trailering and a new innovative one-piece frame that was stronger, lighter and easier to operate. In 1996 Glenn Foreman built his first belt drive longtail mud motor from a used Rupp 399 Hirth snowmobile engine and drive. The Foreman's business quickly expanded and they moved into their new manufacturing shop in 1998 in Sandy, Utah. In a quest for more speed and maneuverability, Mr. Foreman invented the first working short tail belt drive mud motor in 1999 and developed his first working model in 2000. The belt drive mud motors worked efficiently and were faster. In a quest to make them even better, local foundries were employed to produce the first all cast aluminum mud motor frames. More models were built, tested and run in 2001 and 2002 and in 2003, the first Hyper Drive was released, the same short tail motor so many sportsmen use today. Glenn Foreman never stopped innovating and today Mud Buddy builds the most modern, most powerful and fastest production mud motors in the world. Dealer across the nation and around the world proudly match Mud Buddy motors with all brands of aluminum backwater boats. Today, the motor that was first built for duck hunters is now used for fishing, backwater exploring, commercial use, mining, government agencies and scientific academia to navigate shallow backwater areas where no outboard motor could go.
