I have had the boat now through duck hunting season and also have been able to fish out of it so i think i can give a fair review of it now. Can't say enough good things about how Pete was to deal with. Never had an issue getting ahold of him through text/phone even after i took possession of the boat. It took a little longer than expected to get it due to some unforeseen issues. During the build process we changed a few things along the way which made it well worth it to live near by and go see it first hand before proceeding. I went back to Pete to get some small things changed around or added, which he has been more than willing to take care of. The front hatch is awesome b/c it allows for complete access under the deck and the spud pole holders work great also (don't have to listen to them rattle around). Really liking the winch and prop mounts as well so they aren't rattling and bouncing around. The boat handles well and is fairly dry ride in windy conditions. Also would like to say that Dwayne (spelling?) at Prodrive has been helpful. Overall i think the fit and finish came out great.

The new GTR is way better compared to the last one i had which was a 2011. Way less vibration with 3 blade and new style handle. I am a little suspicious of the cast lower unit but so far i have hit a lot of stuff with no issues.

The Briggs is better than the last (2011) one i had but still don't have much faith in it. Overall i think the EFI is better than the the mikuni, but the mikuni was smoother to me through the rpm range. The EFI is nice when you crank it up and it idles perfectly. So far got 70 hrs on it and it hasn't left me stranded yet so its doing better than the last one i had.


Issues so far
Retune EFI
GTR trim replaced
Voltage regulator (in the process of replacing)

More pics

Any pictures with the Bow hatch open?

Do you have the EFI and shaved heads or just EFI?

Really nice boat. X2 on the bow hatch pics.

Here are some pics of the lid. Also added a pic of the interior and backup flush mount lights that I forgot to mention in the original post. The reverse lights work great when I am unloading by myself at a dark ramp.

Yes I have the EFI and heads shaved. That's what they called the "E2" package.

Love that hatch!!!

X2 ^ really like it

Badass looking boat man!

For some reason, I feel like your loaded speed is kinda slow. But then again, you may be the only one that's not all tore up and drunk off the Koolaid.

Nice ride.

I really like the wing nut thingamajiggies.

Awsome boat,proud of you for using it even though it was new.

Very nice boat. I agree Pete is top notch !

WC builds great boats at an affordable price. I'm very happy with my WC boat. Built like a tank and performs very well.

Best of luck !!
