 Bottom of hull conditions I have been searching for pictures of some bad hulls to help compare a hull I'm looking at maybe picking up. I saw the excels horrible hooking and unfortunately i cant see marshmasters Gatortrax because the post is gone. (if you see this marsh and still have pics can you send please) The hull I'm looking at is a gatortrax hyper sport. Not sure what is considered bad or good when talking about used hulls so was looking to clarify this. if there is a post somewhere i missed just link it and ill delete this one.
Here are some pics of the one I'm talking about, its a couple years old so i know its not perfect but what yall think

Re: Bottom of hull conditions Well they've definitely been running over some sht. How much they want for it? That would be the main thing.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions If that is right in front of the huntdeck you should be able to get to it from above without removing any floor. Best place if there is such a thing... The rest looks pretty good.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions yes team camo, that is the spot were talking about. id have to take another look at it from the top, i think its right under where the actual hull connects to the hunt deck on the surface so it might be hard to get out from the top.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions That looks brand new compared to my hull and mine still runs 28mph or so.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions Kinda looks like the infamous tunnel hook right down the middle from the pics. Just like the hook on 2 different gatortrax hulls I have looked at around here. Friend had one and with an empty boat and him at 150lbs he could only run 22-23 mph at best. Id pass unless they were giving it away. Otherwise have one of the sponsors here build you a hull to your specs and one that will last. Cause if your going strickly on price a custom builder can usually get you into one for considerably less than factory anyway. Some of these hulls may be very good marsh boats where they have fewer chances on impacts but they damn sure can't cut it constantly running in the stumps.

Re: Bottom of hull conditions poker, thats exactly what it is, all the way down the middle, kinda weird how they will tunnel like that, assuming from the rib spacing? luckily the only place i will ever really be in is marsh. thanks for all the input guys
