I am looking at upgrading boats to a boat designed for a mud motor, I have a GTR 35 that works great on my current boat. However I am not getting the performance that a true mud boat would. I need recomendations on who to go to Uncle J's, Borel, or others and some pictures of custom boats these guys have made. Thanks Cooper20 |

Your boats have been recommended to me by several people, but was trying to get some pictures of completed boats, which i was able to find. Are you in the Houston area? |

Hey man, I'll send you a pm so you can get in touch with me if you want, but If you have specific ideas about what hull you would like, I can design one for you and you can submit the plans to what ever builder you like....no fees for this, as this is my passion, not my occupation. Just ask that you give me credit in the end for the design. I can also match any hull type you like with 3D imagery, and translate the table of offsets to points on the hull and panels of aluminum so that half your builder's work is done for him and he can cut his aluminum panels in the most efficient manner possible. Plus you'll have a full image of your hull before the first weld. We can share the process on this forum for everyone to appreciate, if they are so inclined. Send me a pm if interested. |

Draw it on paper, sidewalk chalk, or a sharpy on a piece of alum at my shop, and it can be built. |
