 New 17x54 35gtr
Well I got it!! My new 17x54 35gtr!! These are pic of the day I picked it up from Gator-Tail and a few days after installing the Hyrdo-Turf and trolling motor bracket.. Still w/o my EVT tho. I was told they would ship it to me TODAY. But I have been wait on it for 3 weeks now so im not holding my breath...
28-30mph deep Water & Shallow Seems like it runs around 3700ish-3800rpm depending. Does this seem to be the same for everyone else?!?
It does slide but this is my 2nd GT (18x40 23gtr first rig) so I kinda already had the feel for the slide. But im totaly happy. At first I was DAMN this is way wider than I expected but after being in it fishing/riding im very happy!

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
curious to why you installed the hydroturf on the front deck with the traction going left to right instead of front to back so the water runs off the front deck?

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
THE SHEET IS LONGER THAT WAY AND ALOWED ME TO ONLY USE 1/2 A SHEET AND NO EXTRA CUTS. PLUS GATORTAIL DRILS SMALL HOLES AT THE END OF THE DECK FOR WATER TO DRAIN.. WITH THE GROVES GOING LEFT TO RIGHT THE WATER FLOWS DIRECTLY INTO THE HOLES DRILLED FOR DRAINING!

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
Drake = MIke im guessing?!?! lol
I called you yesterday asking if you had them in stock and wondered if you where shipping any brackets to GT. Seems like I was waiting on a bracket.. BUT!! I just called and GT said the muffler was shipped to me today, I cant lie I had to bug the hell outta them to get it... But its on the way now Im a little more happy..
I dont even want to think back and wonder why I didnt get it sooner if you didnt send them any brackets lately and had no orders how all of a sudden they have it and shipping it?!??? Hmmmmmm.. lol
Anyways.. Yes I will come ride with you guys.. Altho we have some awesome ride'n here in St. Charles parish!! MAybe we can swap a ride!! lol.. We have around 8-10 GT's in St. Chalres parish plus a ton of other mudboats.. We plan on all getting together soon for a BIG run!! Keep ur eyes open!

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
7-1/2' foot rod box/gun box. They do make just a gun box it's a little shorter and maybe taller but I wanted 1 box for rod's and guns

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
Man I sure would love to have that rig for a fishing/bowfishing boat. But I'm sure if I bought it that it would also come with divorce papers.

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
I think it would be over kill to have 2 rod boxes... Its plenty of storage with one rod box and a small box in the back. But it wouldnt hurt to have 2!! lol
Owen, It will be rigged to bowhunt soon hopefully, but I will not bulid a deck. Just light bars across the front and sides. It deck sits high enough above the water I believe.
Woodduck, Sorry bro but you got that fancy a$$ paint job so maybe yours is take'n a little longer, but it will be well worth the wait!! BELIEVE ME!!

 Re: New 17x54 35gtr
Does the half pipe down the sides come with it or did you tell them to add that? Is that where they ran the electrical wire?
