Post Rolling on the GG!
Time to see what this Gator Glide stuff is all about! Got the motor pulled off, flipped and Gator base applied. Unfortunately I won't be able to apply the G4 for another 2 weeks due to work and what not. Ready to try it out!

Keep the winch cable hooked up until she's in the water. Keep a taught rope wrapped around the winch post so you can unhook the winch without giving yourself a black eye. Double wrap it so you can let her slide down the trailer and I to the water. Good luck!

Yeah, the stuff is super slick. Take it easy when you first get in the shallows, takes half the effort to get it moving.

I'm considering putting G2 on my jon boat. Would appreciate a before and after comparison report on how it changed your boat's performance (realizing it'll be a few weeks before you can test it out).

Ended up getting some spare time off, finally got the G4 ROLLED ON. But after I finished and peeled the tape almost all the residue was left from it. I ran out of time to sit there and Jack with it. Anyone have a good idea as to what would take it off? I was thinking use the left over acetone.

Try some goo gone or similar citrus remover. The acetone will likely hurt the other paint on the boat.

The raised roller (about half the roller above the bunk) really solves the load unload thing. ( see pic below) .
3m adhesive remover works best for taking of glue. It's a mixture of xylene and acetone and a conditioner from what I understand. Always best to pull the tape on last coat of base and or GatorGlide. Leaves a much straiter wet edge and is easier to clean up anything that may have wicked underneath.

I Will try the goo gone and 3m adhesive remover This wknd on it hopefully its not to late. Also that's actually a pretty good idea with the roller above bunkers might be my next project rather than having to tie and untie it every time I launch.

As for 13 Pistols it's a 17x54 went 5 inches from the bottom of the boat, one kit (half gallon of GB & half gallon of G4) did 4 coats of GB, and 4 coats of G4 Anchor. Used every last drop too.

Sorry for the late feed back, tape residue came off with a little elbow grease and goo gone. The GG on the other hand is awsome had no problem loading my boat back onto trailer with the wench dry. Also noticed I can load it on the trailer w/o the boards in the water. I know for a fact that wouldn't ever had happened before! So far it gets a 5 star from me now to see how long it lasts.

Tie it down good before you trailer it anywhere! I know its been said a lot but not enough. A guy just untied his boat at the top of a ramp and off it came.
