Good turnout today. Here are some of the photos.



My son after leaning too far over the boat.

Had a good time out there. Nice to meet new people. Think we ended up with around 10 boats in all. Not bad for 2 weeks notice.

Def. a good time. I posted up a few more pics in the MMT Photos subforum. Def. good to meet all yall. Had a blast. Guess the "stuck " pic came after we left?

Pro-Drive, MudBuddy, GatorTail, Go-Devil and Copperhead were all represented.

Hahaha air boat trail...I made it twice except on the last turn and slide too far y'all were he ones gettin stuck. Hahaha

I also had 5 in my boat vs your 2. Ok so 2 of them were kids. I was still carrying 300+ more pounds than you.

Hal said he wants to go back there with his boat so we might be out there again soon.

I don't know what kind of camera you had but it takes some awesome photos

Thanks i may have to look into that

Sounds good water needs to drop a foot so we can have some mud again

Hey now u got all the mods too now

We definately need to do that again, even though im only running a 25 longrtail, i had a great time with you guys trying to keep up!! that was my first mud run and i really enjoyed it and enjoyed meeting you all! Lets do it again soon!

Had a good time to. I was in the 35 long tail. Had to leave early cause I was low on fuel. As much as it kills me to say this cause I've been a longtail guy for so long. Those surface drives are BA. Made the decision yesterday, getting a 12 copperhead this summer.

Good pictures.

I went across that same spot y'all got stuck on myself. It was after you left I went looking for everybody after I took my brother back to the ramp. I was ahead of Lee and made it almost to the end but it was soft enough I dug out with the motor.

Lol, I didn't mean nothing, just saying I damn near got stuck myself trying to go back there, just funny a picture got here about the same exact spot. Once I got through it and came back, I was wide open and skipped right across it, thank gator glide for that.

Me and bug stayed out there til dark running around...

That gata-glide makes all the difference in the world! Not only can I go just about anywhere, but my trailer's gonna last forever because it never even has to get in the water. not too bad for a last minute get together. May have to do one of these in Bama soon if we got enough members around here. Great pictures.

Does gator glide add a bunch of weight? I've been deciding if I should put a slick bottom on. Gator glide or frog spit. But just not sure if it's worth me sliding that much more sideways!!!!

It can't add more than 10 pounds total. This is the only one I've tried so I can't speak for the rest but this stuff is super slick. Especially on vegetation like we got around here.

Like cootslayer said, there's been a heap of times my trailer axle don't go under water and I just push the boat off. Just make sure your winch will reach the end to pull it back up.

I will definitely recoat when the time comes. It's like Teflon on a cooking pan when it cures.

That's a joke Hastings. It only adds as much weight as the product itself.

It would be easy to prep the bottom of your boat since it's never been coated. Just need to buff it with probably 220 grit paper. Then wipe down with Acetone. Then use a 6 inch roller and apply 4 thin coats to the bottom. Would probably take 4-6 hours to complete, cost about $150, and could add between 1-2mph, depending on the condition of the bottom of your hull.

I gained a solid 1.5 mph when I got the old SteelFlex off and the Gator Glide on.

BBB I saw your wife has family in columbus. Iffin ya ever come up that way let me know. I know West Point in Lagrange on the top side pretty well, could go hit up the Hooch side.

Fine get together yesterday! Sure goin to put the "glide" on mine now. Good pics...anybody get any vid to post?

bbb if you gained a solid 1.5 mph from the gator glide then you must be topping out at a solid 11.5 mph. May even hit 12 with just you in the boat!

Enjoyed meeting everyone. Look forward to doing it again.

^^^ hahaha. Well I hope it wouldn't add that much weight. But do you think sliding when I turn it will get worse?

That was a blast I'm looking forward to the next one but I want my motor up and running

I don't think it'll affect sliding too much one way or the other. It's been my experience that has more to do with how you drive. I never ran my boat without it, so I can't really tell you how much better it performs, but when I ride side by side with other boats that don't have it, it seems to me like it makes a world of difference. Even little stuff like pulling up on the bank to take a little time out is much easier. I can't help but slide way up the bank, but pushing back off takes less effort than a boat next to me that may only have half as much boat on land.

Know it was killin u TG. Enjoyed the company, lookin frwrd to another run

For those of you interested in Gator Glide, here's a thread where I showed some pictures during install and some more info on the product.
