Post Ideal boat for a 23hp GTR
I am condiering building me a rig within the next year and was wondering what is the Ideal boat for a 23 GTR? I don't want a larger motor b/c of HP restricted WMA's. I am gonna get a custom built boat.

18x44 gt boat will perform the best with that motor!

As long and wide as you can get. Do not go below 18'. Gtr23 needs all the surface area it can get to plane properly.

i was just asking ;) . your comment suggested one thing and your sig was different than what you suggested. so i was just curious to see if you were speakin from bad experience with your current set up or if your curent set up was working, but would switch to a longer boat. and as far as my life goes, its grand. i drive a Gatortail :D
