so what are some storage options yall have on your GT boats, I have seen the PD boats that you can take the bench storage box and put it 5-6 different ways in the boat ?? does GT dop that too ?

Any how do yall have yalls boats set up inside?

do i need the hunt deck or the sport deck, then add some flotation in there ??

or just stick with the standard ?

LIst:
acc pkg #3
extended deck
rear deck ( tiller foldup )
acc box ( for ice chest or livewell )
rod box on one side
gun box on the other
camo paint
hydro turf ( not sure of that price is that good stuff or leave it out ????)
aluminum trailer or Galvanized ??


gtr 35 motor !! paried with either the 1754 or 1854 boat !

what yall think please post pics too if you got them !

The hunt deck is cool, adds some length to your boat, plus a good place for the dog. Hydro turf is awesome stuff, it's the official boat flooring of MMT. That's a lot of stuff for a boat, you gonna have any room to walk or carry decoys and people? I think ya got way too much stuff in the boat, a bench in the middle will serve as a seat and gun/rod storage, other than that I wouldn't put all those boxes in the boat. And the aluminum trailer is gonna outlast the galvanized, if it's salty where you are you might want the aluminum. You only need floatation if you think you might sink

ok thanks i think ill just go with the long 7 rod box, that might be better !

and maybe the small acc box !

Your best bet is go to L'ville and check them out, or make a run and see them all.

I'd get the hunt deck to keep the water from coming over the transom if you get down hard on your reverse. You cannot move the storage around in the GT boats. The more chit you put in the boxes the more your performance will drop, and I like an open boat. I have a gun box and rear seat and thats it and I fill them up with stuff before I realize it.

You are fixin to spend a bunch of money so do it right the first time and check them out in person, make the drive do not just look on the www.

Hunt deck on a gator tail boat does not add to the length, hydroturf is a must.

My bad, read somewhere on here that it did.

You can get it built any way you like it if you want the boxes to move they can do it all it takes is $$$$!!

Take a look at my rig review I got everything I wanted on it perfect setup for hunting my area and running the areas I wasn't able to during the "best" days after cold fronts...

Only thing I'd do different is get the extreme hull (it wasn't offered when I bought mine)

I bring a cooler on the boat usually the yeti. It doubles as a seat & cooler... Livewell well I usually fish arti only but if I'm bringing live bait I'll bring a small secondary cooler. I never use my rod / gun box for rods or guns lol... Its stuffed full of life jackets, safety / recovery gear , tools etc.

Rod holders are on a cooler I have on my my boat and on my poling platform...

One word of advice.. if you think your going to get something later down the road and just not right away make sure you tell them that way they can design it with the later addition in mind. Will be a simple plug & play should you wish to add platform for bowfishing or poling platform etc.

Check out the link in my signature....and WEA is right, if you plan on doing something later, make sure you tell the GT...I found out that they make the boats a little different for center consoles than they do for a tiller...so later, if you want to go to a cc, it's not as easy as just dropping it in, however, if they build it with that in mind, it's alot easier. The boxes in the boat are removable, so i would just go ahead and get them...you can always take them out. I've got kiddos, so i like having "emergency" crap with me. Good luck,

most people overthink the whole box/storage thing when they order their first mudboat.... don't over estimate how much storage you need. lots of boxes=lots of shit you don't need=you go lots slower and are unhappy with your rig's performance.

lots easier to add later if you really feel the need.

I have a PD boat, and between the seat pod and the front deck storage, I don't even have the gun box in. never have had one before in any of my other boats.
