 25GTR owners load distribution question.
Gentlemen,
What load arrangement do you find best when running your boats. Decoys, passenger/gear, etc. Do you like running your person further up with decoys between? or....
1646 GTR boat

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
This is typical for me, usually just enought room for me to stand up. Though there's a lot in the boat only the real heavy things make a difference, those being the people and dog. I use a gun box Wichita keeps then centered. They can slide forward/backwards on it to help me out as needed.

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
I usually have all gear butted up next to deck one maybe two extra people sit about midway on floor to be out of the way and they can also move accordingly

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
My boat being custom is different as it's a double taper and not true squRe and it seems to like the weight more centered

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
Yea i usually run all my decoys up front, passenger middle. It usually runs fine until rain/snow starts weighing my blind down. I'm runnin a rocky river so I tend or run my older worn prop which doesn't help as you know. Wish there were a few mods.

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
Mods would be great like a power commander like on EFI 4wheelers and some head work would do the trick I think

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.

 Re: 25GTR owners load distribution question.
I have a 23 on a 1744 with gas under front deck I stack a sack of 5 dz deeks on the front deck and put dog just behind front deck and my partner sits middle back seems to balance bout right and keeps speed from falling off too bad. Each boat is different u just gotta play around with it
