325 lbs.! Wow, my 1648 grizzly weighs 395 and I grumble about that. Who makes a boat in that configuration and gauge that is so light! I want an 1848 in that gauge ! The speed is unreal for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Dang! Even with an alum floor over the braces (and I would want some flotation) the weight would be under 400# for sure. I bet an 1846/1848 or even a 2046 would be the ticket with a 35 Swomp! I bet you must have at least advanced the throttle to 4200 rpm out of the water? If you have not and did you'd realize another 2 mph. Adding steelflex or gatorglide would not help speed but sure help in the mud/veggies. Please post pics of this hull!

Why do some manufacturers names get asterisked out???

Gator Tail
Mud Buddy
Backwater
Pro Drive
Copperhead

OK, I guess more specifically, why does backH2O get the "*"??

Because they're not a sponsor from what I understand.
