 1854 gator trax hybrid 55hp bamf
Pretty new to the world of mud boats. Been running airboats most my life, but I must say I'm happy with the change. This is my first boat and so far seems to do all I can ask of it. 4 people loaded me 210lbs buddy 265lbs oldest son185lbs and youngest son70lbs 9 gallons of gas and 65qt yeti cooler it ran 27.5mph consistently. Empty with me ,cooler ,and gas tank it ran right at 29mph. I will say wow these boats are tanks they take a hit and keep on going. It seems to do pretty much the same as my airboats have with exception of running dry land for miles.

 Re: 1854 gator trax hybrid 55hp bamf
I did the same thing, mudmotor, 3 airboats, now back to mudmotor. Nice turkey, Kissimmee chain? I found I could hunt more places and kill more ducks from the mudmotor platform.

 Re: 1854 gator trax hybrid 55hp bamf
Yeah kiss chain that's my sons bird. That's what I like mostly is there's a lot more access with a mud motor than a airboat. Not to mention cheaper to fix and burns less gas. It might not run as fast but it does good enough
