For those of you that have experience with both what are some of the main differences in these two boats and which do you prefer and why? I've got a 35ph hyper and will be getting a true mud hull this upcoming summer. Need a beam width of 67" or less to go under our duck blind. I've noticed the gatortail is a 46" bottom and the godevil a 48", either should fit under the blind fine. Thanks

Go with a custom build. That way you can get everything you're wanting in it, & nothing you don't.

FYI....

Both the GD 44 and 48 wide hulls are right at 60" at the beam - or top....

Bottom designs will greatly affect turning / draft / speeds....

Best to test - then buy....

I had a 1644 Godevil (round chine not for surface drives) with a 35 GDSD motor and it worked just fine. But I wanted a more open floor plan and switched to the 1646 Gatortail and have no regrets. Both worked fine with that motor. I think the gatortail is a little faster but it slides more than the round chine Godevil too. With the gas tank under the deck and battery behind the floor, the gatortail has a noticable amount more room over the godevil. Both should fit under your blind easily.
