[Ajverret]

Pulled all the floatation foam out of the floor to lighten it up a bit and I think i took about 50lbs of water logged foam out

Pulled motor back off and added my gator glide G2 and in my opinion is worth every penny

Managed to get her REALLLLY STUCK before I did the gator glide

[Ajverret]

Hopefully in January I can go meet olly and hunt down there and show him what a real mud motor can do lol

[Duckdog]

Nice boat!

[Ajverret]

Thanks

[Feelin' Fowl]

Nice rig

Earlier...

[Flightstopper]

How thick is the bottom? How does it run as its not the common mud hull?

[Duckdog]

I know! We heard ya,....geesh.

[Ajverret]

Sry didn't see it thanks bud

[Ajverret]

I think the whole boat is 1/8 from the research I've done. Lake sport went out of business a few years ago and it's really hard to find info on them. I did find they made a marsh series duck boat and they are 1/8 and I think this is one of them

[Duckdog]

I could see where the gator glide would help me out a lot,...but I can also see where it might get me more stuck!

Sand is what I usually bottom out on, and there isn't any give to it. So, it would help to pull the boat back into deeper water, but it would also get me further onto it than I would want...

[Ajverret]

It runs fairly well for what it is. It dosnt quite perform to it full potential but I'm satisfied for now. It does ties great which most mud boats don't

I run quite a bit of sand to but being able to get out of bad situations easier is worth maybe getting stuck

[Duckdog]

It appears you need to change your sig line AJ...

[Ajverret]

Yeah I do I'm glad u mentioned it

[Duckdog]

Do you have any video of it? I'd sure like to see what that beast can do!

[Ajverret]

[Ajverret]

That's all I have for now will probly get some good stuck bids and mud vid this weekend we have a big mid ride planned

[Duckdog]

Bad ass man...
That sucker will flat scream won't it!!??

I've just got an old MB longtail. Right after I bought it, the surface drives (or whatever they're called) became all the rage.
I was a day late and a dollar short...
It does what I need it to do, but it'll never replace an outboard as far as convenience, reverse, or speed.
Does yours have reverse?

[Ajverret]

Yea it has reverse.
I'll get about 27 with 2 ppl
I was able to get 22 with 4 ppl 4 batteries almost 10 gal of gas and an Ice chest full of beer

By myself I can run a steady 29 and bump 30
