Post Help, my mud boat slides
I shit you not, my new Gatortrax Gatortail ProDrive Phowler Beavertail slides when I turn. I had no idea it would do this when I bought it even though I financed $16,000 for twenty two years so I could afford it.

I was thinking about putting one of those sailboat fins on the bottom of it to help keep it from sliding but I may not be able to run in 4 inches of water which is EXACTLY WHY I BOUGHT THIS BOAT.

Please help!

Please help! I can't pull a skier with myPro-Drive Gatortail Mudbuddy. They didn't tell me it wouldn't pull a skier. My wife is pissed, she thinks it won't pull her up on the skis because of her weight, (Her nickname is Porkchop). She thinks I'm doing it on purpose.

What mods should I get? This motor really sucks. I wish I would have got a godevil long tail.

My mud boat sucks. I think it's the motor. It won't push a load on dry ground. Would Gator Glide help? What about a Mudbuddy Black Plague Painful Death 9000 with reverse? Or should I get a three blade prop for my 27 prodrive? Would that run dry ground better?

I tried a search but didn't get any info. please help.

Uncle J, can you build me a custom bow fishing trail riding rig? I want it to haul six men but be light enough for me to pull over a levee by myself because truth be told I don't have any friends but I'm hoping to get some. Maybe six.

I want it to run at least 33 miles per hour, have extra large drain holes and have a custom wine and cheese locker as well as a rod box and two gun boxes like most wide open floor plans. I want it to be 44" in the front and 66" wide at the rear, (stern). It will be great for running timber and big water.

I want it to be lightweight so 3/16" bottom but only in the drivers side of the bottom because thats where I hit all the stumps. The other side of the bottom should be .125 with a slide rail on that side because I only turn left. I want a 36 on it and a 6 horse kicker but it has to get on step loaded with the 6. Please help.

WTF? I bought a new Prodrive Gatortail Phowler Exel SDB boat and got the 1644 but me and my brothers Darrel and Darrel try to take 3-4 chicks and a few coolers for a boat ride and it won't get on step. PW won't fix this chit for me, he sucks. So does Hoyt and the guy from Gatortail that did the funny Christmas video and I don't like the Mudbuddy dude either because he's short and there's no place to plug in the Foreman grill my buddy got with his Excel. This sucks.

Hi It's my first post! I need advice on a new rig!

I'm 15 and getting my first rig, I was thinking a 2066 with a hard side blind and dual Stage 1 Pro-drives. What do you think?

Westwind, do you have a job? If not, please let me forward you an application as you seem to be very energetic. The job I have available does not require much intellegence so from what I see above you should be well qualified in that aspect.
