Dat is a sweet rig! I want the same hull some day.

Just curious I see they have it as an option listed on their website, the pointed bow but I dont see many pic's of their boats with it. Seems more people prefer the flat front, why is this? Seems the pointed bow would be good especially considering its still flat on the bottom if you had to jump something.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I prolly won't sleep tonight. The reciever is for a winch and my swamp lights. I went with a square front for maximum deck space..

That's my favorite hull size.

Post up a speed review once you run it.

Poooo ran it today!!! Deep water. Me and the wife, ice chest of beer and 6 gal of gas. Consistent 29mph. Took her out and no change really. I'll get shallow water speeds tommorrow. I'm curious what the idle speed should be. Mine is around 2000rpm and when u engage clutch.....shit takes place! Idles in gear in water around 1000rpm..

Loan was approved today!! Placed my order for my 1846 with the drop deck, and thanks bayoubandit, you pretty much made me add the receiver hitch! But I think it will be worth it! Keep updating us on the speeds and overall performance!

congrats on the new rig. i ordered my 1846, drop deck, removable gun box and 35 gtr w/ reverse plate, about 3 weeks ago and just got the news that its built and painted. so hopefully i can pick mine up this comming week. this will be my 3rd surface drive setup, had 2 mud buddys, one on a gator trax and one on a skiff. i did my research this time and just went for what i think is the best. GTR BABY!!!!!!

JL good choice, you won't be disappointed, having reverse is a huge addition in itself. I have been having mine for about almost 4 years now and have messed with them inside and out, i will always have a GTR, I like the drive and the performance. When you get ready to beef it up a little give us a call, won't be no problem to walk you through some of the different modifications that can add power where ever you need it whether it be on the top end or deep down torque.

GreenTrout, congrats again on your new GTR, you will love it. Bubba is good compnay and a hell of a guy to talk to as well as the other guys up there at Gator-tail. Hopefully you get the call soon and you';ll be out there on the water ripping it up.
