Hello everyone found the forum and want to get some feedback before I make any moves.

Thinking about buying a gatortrax rogue and putting a 35 hp mud buddy long tail motor on it.

What do y'all think. I have a small budget and am just getting into this.

That's a lot of motor for a skinny rogue. I would get a 16-44 hd or bigger for a 35. There's a rogue with a 25 gtr for sale in the classifieds.

It'll do fine but I would only run it of it's got 18" sides. I personally know a guy who runs a HD5000 on a 1538HD Rogue. Quick is an understatement.

There's also another rogue the same size running a BD4500 here in SC as well.

What kind of numbers they getting with them Lil boats

Thats a lot of weight on a little boat......it may be fast empty with a driver, but I bet it dosent carry a load very well.....

Idk about the BD4500 but the HD5000 runs 33-34 solo and right at 30 with 3 people and odd and end stuff.

That's cruising with 3

I just ordered a rogue earlier this week. 16ft, tall sides, tall transom, no hunt deck. Putting my 27hp mud buddy LT on it.

put a 27 mini on it is what i would do.
