Mud-Skipper Twister® Mud Motors: The Ultimate "Short" Longtail
Conquer the Shallows with the Patented Force of the Twister®
When the water gets thick, the weeds get dense, and standard outboards retreat to the docks, the Mud-Skipper Twister® series steps up. Engineered as a true force to be reckoned with, the genuine, patent pending Twister® is the revolutionary "short longtail" system that completely rewrites the rules of shallow-water navigation. By utilizing a heavy-duty, multi-core flexible inner shaft, the Twister® curves the prop shaft to perfectly present the propeller at the optimal angle. The result? The unstoppable mud-churning power of a traditional longtail, but with a drastically reduced overall length that gives you unmatched maneuverability, easier trailering, and a perfectly balanced steering experience you have to feel to believe. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations—this is the original, ultra-tough system built for hardcore waterfowlers, fishermen, and explorers who refuse to let nature dictate where their journey ends.

Every sportsman has a unique mission, which is why our Twister® lineup is built to scale. If you are running a tight 10-foot jon boat and want a lightweight setup, our Twister Mini and Twister Lite kits pack an incredible punch without weighing down your transom. For mid-to-heavy-duty payloads, the legendary Twister XL and Twister 4 systems handle higher horsepower engines with ease, slicing through heavy vegetation and muck like it isn’t even there. Looking to skip the wrenching and head straight to the boat ramp? Explore our Fully Assembled Ready-to-Run Twister Motors. We take the guesswork out of the equation by matching the patented Twister® system with our reliable, EPA-approved Mud-Skipper electric start engines, meticulously assembling them so you can literally unbox, mount, and ride.
