Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics All the talk has been about the boat and I certainly appreciate and value all the feedback.
I am also putting the boat on an EZ Trac aluminum trailer with diamond plate sidesteps. The rims will be 15" Sendel T-08 series. Will be adding guide post taillights with reverse lights integrated into the wire harness so they will engage when the vehicle is put into reverse. Great for backing down into dark launches.

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics I'm assuming that's a stock photo of the rims....but just in case, most boat trailer hubs are 5 lug.

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics
My last boat. I will do the same thing more than likely, but go with the 46" posts instead of 40" and have a red light and reverse light on post.

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics With vehicle reverse. Going to rewire the trailer harness to use a 5 flat connector to a Hopkins multi tow 7 blade to 5 and 4 flat connector. I have other lights if I just need auxiliary light when not backing up in dark places.

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics First off, really like the boat. The best item in teh boat is the way you had the seats "lifted" or shelved up off the deck. I really like that aspect of not getting things trapped in the wedges.
I bet this thing will look even better on the drink. Enjoy it! Whats the weight, give or take?

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics That is mighty nice craftsmanship, welding and design work on your new boat, something you should be mighty proud of, and a boat that should last you ten season or more!

Re: Gator Trax 17x50 Hybrid Build - Progress Pics Really nice boat Barnes! Question, the pic looking down on the motor, is there some type of carb support bolted inside the head?
