 Re: Gator Tail 1754 w/ 35 GTRRRRR
The aluminum clutch cover, exhaust, and 32" shaft went on right away. I'll be running it today so I may be posting some more pics and vids. This is my 3rd mud boat and I have to say, I think this is going to be my favorite.

Figures, I get ready to take some pics and it rained. Anyway, the Hydroturf looks really clean and the installer (me) did a great job.

 Re: Gator Tail 1754 w/ 35 GTRRRRR
Ok, now I'll admit, your boat is pretty damn fast for a stock rig, but like I said on Monday, something sure wasn't right. I'll admit it though, you were able to outrun me in the deep water. I was runnin about 5 mph slower than usual. Got home & checked it out, & I have almost no trailing edge cup left in my prop. Let me get it re-cupped & we'll have another go. Now as long as we're talking about who did what, tell me again who's did better in that nasty azz mud? I think I can recall one boat stopping, then going all the way thru, turning back around, & coming back into it & stoppping again while the other was still trying to get out the first time. How'd that go again?
