Im located in Fl Hunting in protected water ways etc. Anyone object to the 18 inch sides, or list some pros and cons of that or 21 etc? this boat comes with a hunt-deck so overall length is 16.5. I will probably only hunt and she will sit during off season lol. Its 95 percent of time 2 peeps and a pooch!!! Boat has a 35HP MB 15x44 18 INCH SIDES thx... |

I'm selling a 2012 1644 gator trax 18"sides with 21"transom with a 2013 galvanized trailer. Live well, extended front deck and removable rear deck for fishing. If interested hit me up. I'm getting a larger boat built right now from them. My family is too large for a 16'boat. That's the only reason I'm selling the hull and trailer. |

I would have already sunk a boat with 18 inch side on Lake Okeechobee. My current boat is an 18x60 with 24 inch sides and 35GTR. It is a tank but hides well, hunts skinny, and runs great. |

Comparing the 18 inch sides and short transom weight of a gtr35 vs stomp 35? Does anyone know if there is a real difference in having 21 inch sides or 24 inch sides and a tall transom? I mean as far as performance can you really haul more weight or is it safety? I'm really kinda wondering if money isn't a factor just go with tall sides an tall txt random. |

On a 16 foot boat the weight of that motor is huge! The tall transom is a must. The 21" sides will help also. Mainly in a 1/4 throttle turn in deep water. Don't stop too quick in deep water in a short transom. Also some boat launches have horrible angles and the tall transom helps keep water from coming in. |

Like i said up there ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you dont hunt big waters, you will be fine. I have a 35 on a SHORT transom and never had water come over the back. That is with battery, gas tank, and myself in the back of the boat. I have a 16x48 alweld, and have ran a 35 on a 15x44. You will be fine. DAMNIT!
