Post what do you think this boat can do?
ok i finally got my rig completly done, i have a 13 h.p gdlt with a 8x5 prop, with a 14x38 fiberglass boat. it only has 3 ribs on the bottom and they are not very deep. boat is pretty light for a fiberglass boat but is extremely strong. what kind of speed do you think i can expect? what kind of veggies and mud do you think i could go through. most of the time it will be me( 145 lbs) 2 dozen decoys. guns with ammo and a few other things. im only 15 so thats why im so light lol

I think the best way to find out is to get stuck! You never know till you try it. That's really the only way!

run it in the baddest chit you can find, if it can go through it good.
If you get stuck, keep goin through less chit until you stop gettin stuck.

I'm thinkin you can go across a straight sandbar... in reverse. ;)
