Ive been back and forth on the idea. And i started gathering my materials last week. Prolly wont atart till after the holidays. Big help from north la hunter, and cr244. Thanks guys for walkin me through all the basics i think i got it. Ive drawn up a lil sketch just wanna know what yall think and if im headed in the right direction with this idea.

Basics: 1846/1848 still unsure. 1 piece hull with sport crimps 1/8th. 21" sides. 6'6" rake. (5) 2x2 long runners. 1/8th fully welded floor. (2) 2x2 cross braces on top of that. 4' extended deck. Removable gun box, seat/storage in the back. Hunt deck with 22 degree transom with a 3" rake on the bottom. winch mount. 3" front bumper. Stock 35 GTR.

Thoughts, comments, concerns. Or just start building. Thanks in advanced.

I had and 18x46 but if i did it again i'd probably do a 48 just for a little better load carrying. The 46" is nice for running skinny ditches but whats another inch on each side of the boat when running trails and you can carry a load a little better.

Why 22*?

No permanent boxes

A shop guy at Gatortail told me in between 20* and 22* would be fine. I guess I just wrote down 22* and that's what I told him. I did my last one 20* come to think of it.

I've done as much as 23 but for a reason. Just curious if y'all had a specific reason for it

Split it and go 21

Im gone with 20. What else. Is the rake good? And the back rake what yalls length 3"?

My GTB is on a 23* transom angle. It does well but I believe I could get a little more speed if it was on a 20* angle with a half inch or so taken off the transom height. Pm mudcat he has an 1846/44 and could tell you pros on cons off it.

id do 1848..and every one weve done for a gtr has been at 20*

21, 20, 20 21" transom, 20 " sides, 20 degree transom

18/48 46 is pretty narrow with 4 guys

I've had 38" gator trax rogue, a 44" & now a 48". I don't really feel like I'm stopped from going places I have in the past. Next boat will be between 48"-52"

Okk 1848 it is. Itll be better i wont half to rip 2" off my subfloor. 20* transom with 21" sides. How tall are yall going with the hunt decks??

The hunt decks sit typically 16-18" off the back of the boat.

My gt hunt deck is 6" below top of False transom. Tall transom boat

hunt deck height 12'' on short transom 15'' on tall transom

Gunna be a narrow front end huh

Thats still in the air too. Ima wait and pull it in to see what looks best.

This is 24" bow on 42" bottom


This is 24" bow on 48" bottom


This is 36" bow on 48" bottom

Id like for it to come to a narrow front end, similar to a gator trax. I just think it looks better IMO. Plus makes for better timber runs.

I like this one the most.
