 Stuck Gatortail
Sucks getting stuck by yourself. Had about 2 inches of water and 2 inches of mud then hard clay. Couldn't get a hole dug to get out so I had to push about 40 yards to get to deeper water. Long video but I don't have anyway to edit it. http://youtu.be/AW3Izyt21fQ

 Re: Stuck Gatortail
Some places I could trim up where the boat would float and It would move slow. But then hit shallower water and that was it.

You're not gonna have much of a prop left if you get back in there too many more times.

Yeah I know. But since I've been playing in the mud my boat has picked up almost 2 mph!

 Re: Stuck Gatortail
how come there was no video of you pushing the boat (JK) I hope you had some drinking water with that 40 yards would have been work when you're hind end deep on a 9 foot Indian in muck

 Re: Stuck Gatortail
Biggest mistake GTR guys make is they want to over use their reverse. Forward is we're your power is at!! Props are made to push forward. Pretty simple logic.

 Re: Stuck Gatortail

 Re: Stuck Gatortail
So the best way to use the GTR is to reverse a little so you can clear a path for a good forward run to get the hull moving, then roll out. Like rocking a truck that's in a rut.
