 MB 5000 on gatorhide
I should be getting my MB 5000 this week for my 3 man hide. Anyone running this rig? Curious to know what kind of numbers I should be seeing.

 Re: MB 5000 on gatorhide
The kind of numbers in ducks ??? Always like the looks of this rig -- if you can learn to shoot well from a layout position -- it looks like a duck killing machine ! ! ! It might be a tad heavy --- I would want a winch option for those days where some boat draggin could happen ! ! ! And - to shoot some skeet out of the boat sittin on the trailer during dove season to get sharpened up on shooting from the layout position ! ! ! But I bet that MB 5000 makes it haul butt in 5 inches or more ! ! ! Send up some duck numbers in the REVIEWS when Sept comes ! ! ! @ @ @ @ @ @ As per their website.... http://www.mudbuddy.com/Gator%20Hide%20Boat.htmNew Gator Hide Boat Sleek Low Profile - 16" Sides 18x62 Hull .125 5086 Aluminum Round Chines and Longitudinal Bracing as always!

 Re: MB 5000 on gatorhide
I guess I should specify... I need speed info. There was the MB with intake and exhaust on it before and it hit 27 in skinny water with 3 men, dog and all the gear so the new one should roll.

 Re: MB 5000 on gatorhide
i have a 3 man hide with a 35 MB sport, never saw speeds like the info giga had posted. the boat is heavy but not so heavy it cant be moved easily with one guy in an 1-2" of water once to the huntin spot (never tried to drag it across dry land).
I was hitting low 20-23 w a hunting load, not good enough for my needs so sent the motor for a stage III, i'm told low 30's shouldnt be a problem with the modded motor and with a load mid 20's. your 5000 should be close to the same i would think, good luck. you wont find a more comfortable boat to hunt out of.

 Re: MB 5000 on gatorhide
We took Larry D's hide with a 6000 MB out and Radar Gunned it.
With 500 lbs of peeps in it and a few other small items it ran28-30 in deep water and got it up to 32mph in real skinny water but only for a little bit. It does well once up on plane but modderate prop wear even on a Big Blade killed Hole Shot.
