Dang, this should be an easy one. Looks pre-prepped. Let that base set a while! How many coats did you get on?

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
Yea the bottom of the skew wore off, not sure how long it took. When I'm on the bottom it's mostly sand around here, more sand then mud. It will still help to do anything that creates drag in the water. I'm going to do the bottom of my jet skies and the hydroslide. Thinking of doing the bottom of a three man tube  if I do t I'll post it cause I know it will work.

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
How is this stuff going to hold up against logs/stumps? I have all the coastal marsh that im not worried about but also cypress swamps with passes filled with logs and i hunt lakes once or twice a year that are full of stumps.

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
Got it back on the trailer today. This stuff is mind blowing...before my boat on dry grass took 5-6 people to move, now i can slide it around with 1 hand. Winched it up on the trailer without ever having to put an effort into it then once it was on i could unlatch it and push it right back off no problem. Im actually kinda nervous about getting it into shallows and grass now lol

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
Just make sure the boat is actually over the water before you unhook the winch...

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
Ran it yesterday and it did well. No sliding in deep water, and now when i get to shallow water i can come off the throttle almost to an idle abd get going again much quicker where as before i would just get stuck...i did manage to get my self stuck yesterday 5 times within the day though.. I was bound and determined to make it down this airboat trail but it never happened  luckily there was a tree about 100yds across the pond that i used to winch myself off it.

 Re: Gator Glide install in progress
I got the same boat and really want to gg it also...i run 27 light load with only me and 25 to 24 with fishing gear and 2 people what kind of speed u getting now...fyi i just put on a new prop so that helped big time with speeds. Did you slide good in shallow and how was it loading up on trailer? Every one talks about unloading and keeping hooked up but never here about loading any changes at all...I have a bowfish deck on now and is heavy as a sob so i need that gg if it works good! speed with deck is 21 with 3 men cooler and 2k gen.
