I had and 18x46 but if i did it again i'd probably do a 48 just for a little better load carrying. The 46" is nice for running skinny ditches but whats another inch on each side of the boat when running trails and you can carry a load a little better. |

A shop guy at Gatortail told me in between 20* and 22* would be fine. I guess I just wrote down 22* and that's what I told him. I did my last one 20* come to think of it. Sent from my beeper. |

My GTB is on a 23* transom angle. It does well but I believe I could get a little more speed if it was on a 20* angle with a half inch or so taken off the transom height. Pm mudcat he has an 1846/44 and could tell you pros on cons off it. Sent from my iPhone using |

I've had 38" gator trax rogue, a 44" & now a 48". I don't really feel like I'm stopped from going places I have in the past. Next boat will be between 48"-52" |

Id like for it to come to a narrow front end, similar to a gator trax. I just think it looks better IMO. Plus makes for better timber runs. |
