I have heard the surface drives are obnoxiously loud?
Obnoxious is an understatement.

Obnoxious is an understatement. I don’t think any more than a long tail...supped up lawn mowers is what they are

You need a tiller outboard with shallow drive or a jack plate. I've had all the mud motors. I run in Reelfoot which is 100% slap full of stumps and cypress knees under the water. Unless you are in vegetation you can get around with an outboard if you set it up right.
I remember I got a Pro Drive one time (this would have been early 2000's) and I was down there at Pro Drive's shop we went out to the basin and were running around and I thought I had the baddest thing I ever drove and I look up and a Crawfisherman comes hauling arse past me with a 40hp Tohatsu on a Jack plate running through the same place I was. The only place he couldn't go was across a mud flat with no water. The mud motor would do it there. I never seen a mud flat I could cross like that anywhere North of I10. The Mud isn't the same.
Vegetation is another matter. They shine in the weeds.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
