Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
Thinking about getting this exact setup, 1854. Wondering about how much room there is with both welded in rod or gun boxes like this one.

Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
I had 1 of the rod boxes in my 18x54 CC and sold it cause I thought it was in the way. And although the back deck is awesome for fishing you won't be able to hunt comfortably out of your seat behind the console. There is nowhere to put your feet when facing port or starboard. Let us know what you go with once you pull the trigger.

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
My business has that same exact model. The rod box has already been taken out. It takes up too much space. I love the back of the boat but like he stated above, it is not good for hunting. We actually get better speeds than I thought out of this thing.

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
Thanks for the info guys. I may get a removable box or catwalks instead.

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
Anyone have any opinions on a cc 1854 that has 10'' catwalks and full length handrails?

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
I have full 10 catwalks and love them for fishing, shelving during hunts. Note I don't have a cc

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
I have a GTR1854 CC. I think I would have liked to get the catwalks, but I would not want full length handrails.

Re: Advice/opinions on this gator tail setup
I'd go 8" catwalks. I like a more open floor. Boxes seem to end up getting filled w crap you don't use or need.
