A few years back I bought a new GT rig, 1854 powered by a 35. Really liked the boat. I fished out of it comfortably, but it was slow when loaded. I started hunting timber, and still do 12-15 times a year. Wrecked that boat, replaced it with an 1846 SouthFork mud hull powered by a 37EFI GT. MAN! That thing scoots. I like the speed I gained, but didn't like how unsteady it was. It's an .080 boat and didn't last long. I had to idle a cypress slough to get to a piece of woods we were hunting, and took it very easy going over the stumps. It put hooks in the bottom like I've never seen before. Totaled the boat. So....I'm back to buying a new hull. Pretty set on another Gator Tail.9 months out of the year I'm bowfishing and fishing, the rest chasing ducks. Here's the dilemma...in a few years this won't be my primary fishing rig, it will be used mostly for bowfishing and duckhunting. I figure if I can bowfish out of it comfortably, I should be able to fish no problem. Initially my plans were to order a new boat from GatorTail...an 1848 extreme and have a removable bowfishing deck built. Now, I'm considering the 48 may be too narrow for a few big boys up on it. 1754x1848 powered by a 37 EFI. Any firsthand experience will be great! Don't want to be slow as a slug. |

So this makes the third poll I've seen posted by you asking the same question... how many more are you going to post? Get what you want, and what fits your running conditions. |
