 standard GT hull vs. extream GT hull
Looking to get my first mud boat and i am stuck between standard GT hull and the xtream Gt hull. What are some of the pro's and con's of the two? I will be running either a 17x54 or an 18x54 with a 36gtr. I will be running in some thick grass and souppy mud and alot of log crossing. Let me know what cha think.

Where u live, best thing is to ride in each one and make your decision.

The extreme turns without sliding. The regular slides in a turn,with a narrower hull it's not bad but 54 an 60's will slide.

I'll say this if they had the extreme when I bought mine I'd have the xtreme.

 Re: standard GT hull vs. extream GT hull
I came up with the idea of a pad on a mudboat. Besides turning well it will push pole and track with a trolling motor better than a slick hull. I pole the flats for redfish in mine.
In some bottoms types it will do a little better than a flat bottom , In most its about even. Its a faster hull if they are the same weight, but in al. it's hard to make them weigh the same. Add frog spit to the bottom it makes a big differance. Its a little harder to built.
With a 40 hp out board it will hall ass. JD
