Warrior

The Ultimate Fusion of Power and Speed

Engineered through a collaboration between Mud Buddy and Backwater Performance, the Warrior Series represents a "Whole New Gear" for surface drive mud motors. By combining the aggressive digging power of the 12.75” Hammer with the sleek, high-speed profile of the Big Blade, the Warrior is designed to be the fastest and most powerful propeller in its class.
