Comments: Really like the boat so far. I told Brandon what I had in mind and he got it done, kept me updated with plenty of pics and I swung by the shop to be there if he had any question on what I wanted. It ran really well today on the lake and I hit more than my share of stumps lookin for the ghost teal we must have and I think its gunna hold up, pretty solid boat. The slick bottom is a life saver in the stumps and grass.

Good deal, nothing wrong with a longtail ive hunted with them for years and have found they shine in a lot of places a SD wouldn't. A modded 35 LT on that boat like Bcoonass used to have would be insane!

No, I just got the paint yesterday and now I'm waiting on the right day to paint it.
It's just going to be a plain Jane drab green with gator glide on the bottom

I've seen a few boats on here now with the braces exposed how do you like it that way and do you plan on putting in a floor in the future?

I don't really mind it, its alot easier to clean but it is hard on bare feet.

I have a couple of small sheets of plywood I throw down sometimes, and I have one to stand and drive on.

Gets a little tricky with alcohol and tough on the back when things get bad and you have to sleep in your boat

Post Re: 18x42 CSM Custom 24hp LT
Thanks, really happy with it.
The boat is pretty damn solid, I haven't put a ton of hours on it yet but Ive ran it about 20 hours and every second of it it has been cut no slack. Not even a good ripple in the bottom. That narrow front and pointed bow is bad ass! I am gunna play bumper boats in the timber all season, no more smackin trees and coming to a stop.


And I am now a firm believer in Gatorglide, that stuff is slicker than owl shit!

Me and my cousin, I dunno what brand stencil that is.

I like it, Its a good mix of dark and light. We have camo'ed all kinds of shit and just change it up and learn a lil at the time. We pretty much painted the whole thing in just a few hours.

Ran it since you put the gg on it? Any speed gain or any difference in running?

Goin down to Turkey Creek/Boeuf tomorrow after work an gunna run it.

I don't really expect any speed changes but its gotta be easier to slide around on mud and thick grass. I'm sure it'll get dry docked at least once
