 GATOR GLIDE ????
I have heard y'all mention this stuff in a few post. My question is... Is it worth it, and how durable is this stuff. Thirdly what mixture are you using? I hunt a lot of sandy bottoms rivers and lakes. Was wondering if any of y'all have used it can give me an insight on how durable the stuff is.

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
Yes it is worth it and it holds up very well if applied properly and allowed to cure. Reach out to Frog on here and he will hook you up and answer any questions you may have

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
Not too sure about sand, but everywhere else it does great. It's slick as hell and pretty damn tough. It's really worth it, go ahead and get it. You will like it.

Not on straight water. Maybe in vegetation

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
Some do some don't , depends on your rig. If it under powered or heavy you may. If it's jacked up and there isn't much boat in the water probably not. My 22' pontoon with 90 hp went from 24 to 28 maybe 29 mph.

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
Bringing up an old thread Frog I asked last year if it would add speed and after many months of trying to diagnose my issues and some fab work all that I am left with is that the boat doesn't have enough rake. The front has a tendency to grab and you can feel it slow the boat down and also when in the mud it grabs hard. Do you think I'll see the benefit running deep.

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
The hook is like a pocket and travels about 14" total and is 2" from the back of the transom right at the channel used for the transom bracket

Who built your boat? Where are you getting your gg from?

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
I too have have wondered about this stuff for a while. Will it work on a boat with ribs on the bottom? I have an alumacraft Jon instead of a true smooth mud hull.

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
Can you do all of the coats and then remove the edge tape or is it too hard by then to do that?

 Re: GATOR GLIDE ????
I saw the mixing of part A and part B. When is part Bourbon mixed?
I really need to gatorglide my boat, I just dread trying to get that heavy boat off the trailer.
