 Re: hard bottom
My PD doesn't do good over a hard bottom. I trim it up and get out and push it till I get in good water or softer bottom.

 Re: hard bottom
ask RobertB4wd how a hard packed bottom does. We pushed his boat about 100 yds. before his prop would grab on anything saturday. the boat slid easily, but there wasnt enough mud, sure as hell no water, for the prop to catch on to.

 Re: hard bottom
The lease that I hunted last year had a hard bottom. At one point it was about 6" once we would get out of the boat lanes. Most of the club members used LTs but a few of us had GTRs and PDs. It takes a little longer to get on plane but after that its fine. IMO.

 Re: hard bottom
The smaller the prop the better I can run in 4 inches of water with my 8" if my hull doesnt drag bottom.

 Re: hard bottom
Where at in Dulac? Only real hard bottom around there is oyster shells!  I can tell you alot about that! Trust me....  seriously, if you had six inches of water the Gator Tail will perform great there. I don't run Dulac much but I wear out a couple props a year in cocodrie which is virtually the same place!

 Re: hard bottom
Let me tell you about hard bottom, IT SUCKS! Autogateman and myself know first hand. 100 yards, then we got right up and ran outta there as quick as we got in. As far as brands, everything out there got stuck in the hard bottm crap! Sand, well you get stuck and eat up a prop. Sand is a double kick in the balls. For the guy who said his GTR ran ok in hard bottom, it will run it but not get up. I'm not talking smack on you because my next one will be a GTR. If you look at the vids I just posted, there's a GTR stuck in the hard bottom crap. There's also a MB that stuck and broke a belt. I didn't want those guys to feel left out.

 Re: hard bottom
I've been hunting the Dulac side of the lake for some time now. That is an awesome blast and cast area. I've come home many times with limits of ducks and reds.
