well, it only took a few yrs, but we now have a mb dealership in new iberia, la. i'll say this, they do have the nice-est paint job. the one i looked at was a 35 hyper with serial # 15,###. i thought it was a gatortail till i walked up to it and saw the holes in the brace thingy.




got a couple of these setups at the local travis boating center. i stopped by to checkout the hull, i never seen one before. would be interesting wif a 90hp yamaha/jackplate. might be a alternative hull for sum of u guys needing a boat and don't want to go thru the ordeal of having one built. l would lay it out differant, but for a cookie cutter it is a nice boat. it's got the sissy bar for those hard to drive belt-drives already on it, and it's removeable.

i would have to set a pd on it to see if the handle wouldn't hit the bench seat. if i had one i would cut out the flotation and 1/2 the bench seat and also cutout the underneath of the front deck[there is a insert] for more storage, but i am a crazy person.

the more i look at it, it looks like a gator-traxx copy with a gator-tail copy.

they ought to call it THE XEROX COMBO

LMAO!!!!

Looked at he spec's 710lbs, thats abit on the fat side of things, your not going to be pushing or pulling that baby anywhere, not bad otherwise....

bet that goes over like a turd in the punch bowl

Isn't this the hull that Fisher/Tracker copied from Gatortrax hulls they supposedly purchased to use as a template? I know these rigs are sold through Bass Pro Shop. They aren't a bad looking hull, though I would have to agree with DA on the rear bench having to go.

Xerox Combo!! I like that!

It was only a matter of time until the cookie-cutter boat companies adopted a design that was derivative of Go Devil, Gatortrax, Prodrive and other mud boats.

Anyone know if they have longitudinal stringers, or are these boats ribbed?

I know a couple of people who run Fisher boats (with outboards) and they are pretty stoutly constructed rigs. And a good value.

longitudinaly braced. i saw it on the websight and in person. it's got the halfpipe front end, just not tapered as much as a gatortrax.
like idabilly said, it looks like a mixture of boats.
the 18x60 i looked at looked like a neat boat. i didn't see the pricetag, but a 1648 with a 23 hyper ws 11,000$ plus tax rigged out.
there wasn't a tag on the 18x60 rig with the 35mb. probly add another 2 grand or so.
the trailer was galvanized or sumthing like galvanized. looked good.

Saw one of dem boats at the bass pro in bossier city, it looks like a cheap copy of my GatorTrax. Welds looks like a retarded kid did them with a wire gun. For what they want for them you can call Kent and have him make you one.

Friend of mine bought the 1860 with 35 hyper and trailer from Bass Pro for a cool 18.500.

Team Xerox. lol

Think of the kind of boat / mud motor combo you could get from Gatortrax, Pro Drive, Gator Tail, Phowler, Aucoin, etc., for that kind of money.

Some folks like to go through the process of having a custom boat made, others don't mind grabbing a combo they see sitting on a lot somewhere.

Just like a custom home vs. buying a ready-made one, you can get more for your money if you get involved in the process.

takes a while to get educated on these things... that's why Mudbuddy sells so many motors.

Crews, I asked the question on another forum...just curious...you ever owned a mudbuddy?

i dont think he has owned a mud buddy, but im hoping he will build my new boat.

ain't quite as big a sucker as what I look like... in other words... no, I have never owned a Mudbuddy.

Looked these up at Tracker and Fisher, not that great a package price IMHO. You can get an 1860 Phowler Package, 36 PD with Power Trim and Galv Trailer with the exact same options with all shipping/rigging to our area for around $1100 less compared to their package with 35 MB.

Just like anything else, I'd bet most folks don't have a clue as to what options they have in the MM world. I saw that same package for sale at the local Travis Boating ctr here now.
