I'm in the market for my first surface drive rig and have kinda narrowed it down to these two setups. I called around today for quotes and am waiting to hear back from them. Just wanted to get some opinions before I spend a bunch of money. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks

gatortrax 1644 is gonna be a heavy boat for a 23hp. I think the 1644 gatortrax is a 17'8" total length.

Thanks man, i figured it would be pretty heavy just not sure if to heavy, im dealing with hp restrictions. I've only found one rig like it online and they claimed 22 with two guys which is fine with me but idk what would happen with a load or a 3rd person

Buy the new big block 25.
