Post New Rig Review
I'm just starting the review. I didn't have too much time to run it this morning before work, but hopefully I will be able to have everything filled out by the weekend.

MM Brand: GTR (stock with 3 blade)
Horsepower: 37 EFI
Boat Brand: Shallow Water Customs
Boat Size: 16 x 48 x 19 Triple Tapered
Boat Layout: All open with a 4 foot extended front deck (only open in the front - didn't want a hatch), a hunt deck in the back, 2 spud pole holes (1 in the front and 1 in the back), a removable bench seat and removable gun box, a driver seat, and a switch panel with a cup holder and a removable grab bar. It also has wetlander (this is what SWC carries instead of gatorglide).

Speeds | Shallow Water: Wasn't able to run shallow water today
Speeds | Deep Water: 31 empty (Didn't try a load yet.)
Total Boat Load With Gear Etc: N/A for now
Conditions Tested In: No wind and about 57 degrees outside. Only had 1 gas tank and 1 battery in the boat with me.

Comments: I thought that the boat ran exceptionally well for my first actual mud boat. I've had longtails on john boats and such, but never a mud boat like this. I was worried with such a small boat and larger sized motor, it would pourpoise really badly, but it really held its own. I don't believe that I would have changed anything about the boat except maybe made it a tad bit longer. I'm impressed with the job done.
