i just bought some gator base an some g2 gator glide to put on the bottem of a ribbed boat does anybody know how well it works on a ribbed boat

Im wondering the same thing..

Works good. I have it on mine

I've got flex steel on my ribbed G-3 it works good.We dont have the mud here but it slides over the weeds and stuff pretty good.

Myn will be in in a few days ill post how it does once i put it on there

How much does this stuff run?

After I put it on my allweld, I pulled the boat in my yard with one hand.

They dont give that stuff away do they.... Anybody pick up a mph with this stuff?

Its 189 for a gallon i got the g2 kit half gallon of gator base half gallon of g2 it was 220 after shipping

worth every nickel, less wear on your boat, motor and back, it'll pay for it self

$220 after shipping the hell with that and after a while have to re due it. I'll stick with $100 frog spit works and last just as good.

For the people that have done it to ribbed bottom boats, have you noticed a big improvement in sliding over grass and stuff?

I would like to have it on mine so I can slip off the trailer and over beaver dams easier.

I just got mine off the Gator Glide web site for 1/2 gallon it is 124.24 after shipping.

Screw that

I know nothing about this stuff, i know cootslayerRMFT has it on his boat and its slick as owl shit. So i checked out the website and saw there is a G2 and G4, what's the difference, is one better than the other? I also saw the gator base primer, do I need to put that on the bottom before adding the gator glide or can I just put the gator glide directly on the bottom of the boat?

You don't need the base coat, but it will add the the durability. Below are two links to when I applied mine and 8 months later of hard use....

i put it on my ribbed bottom boat last summer, it goes on easy and it works great, i can def tell a difference. i did mine on the trailor, just jacked the boat up and roll it on

how long does it take to setup or dry

About 15 minutes in between coats and then the longer u let it sit before u hit the water the better. 24 hours should be good.

Does anyone know of a dealer who puts the stuff on for customers?

I hit the bank this morning doing about ten mph ,gator glide made sure I slide ten feet into the marsh. Don't unhook the trailer winch until the boat is in the water.

finnaly got to try my gator glide out i did the g2 kit which is half gallon of gator base half gallon of g2 put the gator base on waited 48hrs put the g2 on an waited 5days an hit the water with it an went across mud flats an never even checked up but you do need two people to load boat on the trailor cause i had to do it by my self an i just put the edge of the runners in the water an just bumped the trottle an made it all the way to the front but when i kicked it into neautrul it slide off the trailor back into the water so i drove it back up left it in grear an jumped out an ran to the front an hooked the winch on

I think I might just have to buy a gallon.

Anybody wanna split one with me?

save the rest for next year, as long as you don't mix it, it will keep.

GatorGlide price increases as of tomorrow 9/9/12. Not my idea but the MFG raw materials gone up so they have done a price increase across the board

Im thinking about applying gator glide....is there a way to fill or repair dents before application?? Epoxy putty?

Thats ok that it went up well worth it G2 held up great this year the only thing i found that it didnt like was rocks but other than that awsome product will have it on all my boats

Is there any benefit it mud?

I do believe it helps with breaking suction and allow u to move little easier but could just be my imagination

I know this is an older thread - but do you get a cool sticker with your order?

I didn't get a sticker.......

Me niether.

I would even pay for a cool sticker - someone get on that

may do stickers again as soon as all the tshirts are gone!!!

Just ordered my 1/2G of G2! Cant wait to test it out!
