| Post subject: | 23GTR ANY INPUT |
I am getting ready to purchase a 23GTR and i was wanting to know how long of a boat to go with. I am interested in the 18'x40 gator tail boat but i was thinkin go heavy. Maybe a custom boat 17'x42". I realy like what i am reading about uncle J boats. I know every one says test drive, but does any one have this similar set up? |

The 18' 40" is the ideal boat for that 23, it is a performer. YOu can't go wrong whether it be the 18 40 from GT or a custom hull but i would stay around those deminsions |

What kind of conditions do you hunt in, and are you going to be carrying a big load? Things to consider, if you're going to be hauling 3 fatasses like me around or crossing some big water, you may want to bump up the size. Good choice on the GTR though, you'll love it.

What every you choose, go long and narrow for the 23 motor. It will do the job on the right boat. I would stay with a lighter then .125 hull if you think you can run a .100 without tearing it up in TX, the performance will be significantly better with that motor on a light hull IMHO. PW |

Im runing a 15 40 with .125 all the way around, right now and as long as i hunt with somebody else or have a full tank and 3 dozen decoys up front it runs fine and perfect for a two man set up. I kinda wish i just had the longer boat so it wouldnt porpoise as much but other than that love it. but def go with at least 17'. 40" is a little wobbly so get use to that if you dont want it that skinny get a 44 notin much wider. its nice to be skinny with the 23. |

If you get ready to purchase a 23hp gtr and wanna save a little money over buying a new motor I have a 23gtr with only 60-65 hours on it that I'm willing to sell just because I dont really need a mud motor anymore. PM if your interested it's a great motor and never has had any issues so maybe we can work something out. |
