MM Brand: Gator Tail Horsepower: 25 Boat Brand: Uncle J Boat Size: 16x44 Boat Layout: open Speeds | Shallow Water: ? TBA Speeds | Deep Water: 24 mph Total Boat Load With Gear Etc: two guys (180 lbs each), fishing gear(4 poles, 3 tackle boxes), 6 gallons of gas, required safety gear, a couple tools (5 lbs) Conditions Tested In: calm 16x44 with 22" sides and 20" transom 3/16 bottom full welded floor trolling motor bracket grab bar with switch panel console and beverage holder spud poles/holes 4' front deck with 30" stow in and 18" stow under 3 removable seat bases removable pirogue rack painted in shadow grass with non skid on walking surfaces I got to take the new boat out today and I'm impressed with how well it performed. I didn't get a chance to open it up an any shallow water but i did out in the main canal and with the load mentioned above I could hold 24 mph all day with a max of 26. This being my first mud rig I'm still trying to figure out how to get the most out of it. If I have it wide open and trimmed all the way up trying to run as fast as i can it will start to bounce on me but if i trim down just a little it goes away. I'm sure once i get the trolling motor and another battery up front it shouldn't be a problem. Going from a outboard to a mudmotor the biggest thing i noticed was the vibration in the tiller but towards the end of the day i think i got use to it or maybe my hand was numb. Also sharp turns wide open have a pucker factor to them but the more i drive it I'm starting to figure out the sliding I got to go down some cuts that i wouldnt think about with my other boat (14x36 alumacraft & 15 evinrude). The first log i hit under water scared the crap out of me but 4 or 5 later i realized this thing could take a lick. If for some reason I ever need another boat like if this one gets stolen because i doubt I'll tear it up. I'll use Uncle J again the customer service was great before, during, and even after the build. He went out of his way to get everything together for me so it was a one stop shop. I'll update this review once i get some more hours and a few scratches on it. |

This is a really awesome boat!! People put to much crap on boats now, catwalks,boxes, welded seats. This clean and fuctional. If I wouldn't have just bought an outboard for one of my boats, I would probably be going into debt with one of these..lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |
