Gatortail doesn't make the props, we have them cut down locally around here by Jay (Instagator911) or you can buy them on team camos website.

As far as setups the 25 GTR IMO is about as good as you can get for MM's in restricted areas. My buddy has
his on a 16x42 custom and it does pretty well with the cut down prop. The cut down prop is really the killer though it just sucks they make us run that BS.

Ask Tperkins on the board about all that Refuge madness. He runs a 25 GTR just for that reason.

The refuge prop is just a cut down or worn 12" or 11" depending on what you have ..

Or you can buy one from Team Camo .. I did but also had it tweaked more to run better on my boat ..

I have a set up that runs ok and its for sale

That GTR Ducks Inlimited set up looked outstanding at the Sportsman Show. That is a good set up for the refuge with a modified prop.

It's all been covered, federal land equals hp restricted, state land your good. My boat does good with a 2 guy load (lower 20s)but anything more it barges bad. I've seen nice 3 person speeds but they were in shallow water. I've got 2 seasons of hunting just about every weekend on my prop. Jays got a good design.

It's like my friend Ricky Bobby said, If your not first your last...

But seriously that's what competitive hunting is. Your gonna have to go the extra if you want to go. Then you need to know where the go to spots are.

25hp and a 9" prop would be an improvement from La's greentree WMA restrictions. "Internal combustion engines and craft limited to 10 hp rating or less in the Greentree Reservoir." :(

Anybody ever cut down a 3 blade? I would thing since they seem to be a little smaller anyway you might not lose as much. Or am i way off base here?
