Gator trax measures to the transome, my 1750 was 18'6" long! Ran good with a 35. But if I had that boat back I'd go with the "black death" cause apparently it more theft proof

SCduckhunter88, for some reason I can't reply to your pm. I have friends with Gator Trax, and I have driven them, and they turn fine and handle well from what I have experienced. I was hoping someone with experience with this setup would chime in with their opinion. |

Does it have a hunt deck? If so that's a big ass boat almost 28ft long. You will probably want to mod the motor |

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah it has the hunt deck, and that makes the overall length 19'10". The boat dealer swears it will be a 30mph boat, but I'm not sure. Not that big a deal though. |

What dealer is promising 30mph? With you being in GA and describing a rig that is for sale at a dealer in SC, I think I might know who you're dealing with. |

I'm going to ride over to Prodigy shop and check their deals out before I do anything, since I'm so close to them. |

No way that boat is seeing 30mph with a stock motor unless it is being pulled behind your truck. I have a 1750 and love the boat and they take big water really well but you may see 26-27mph with just one person in that large of a boat. They are not built for speed. |

I agree with you guys, I don't think it will hit 30mph either, but its not that important to me. I just want a good solid rig that the motor will push good. |

My 17/54 gator Trax is a solid rig. It is heavy and not real fast but it does pretty well. That dude is straight up lying to you if he says a stock 35 will push it 30 mph. It will run around 25 empty 20 loaded. That rig will haul a load tho. Know DAT! You mentioned prodigy... I like my gator Trax but if I were to get another hull it would be a prodigy! |

Yeah the Prodigy looks like a solid boat. I am going to check them out for sure. |

I have an 18/54 Gator Trax with huntdeck and GTR35. Love the rig, but it is a big boat and is not a speed demon. 3 ppl and gear I am getting about 23 24. |
