| Post subject: | boat advice for a newbie |
Hey folks! New to the site and ready to pull the trigger on my first rig. I've got the motor narrowed down to a GTR 35 with a 17' boat of the same maker. However, I wonder about some of these other custom boat makers like uncle J or brother breaux. I'm from Tx. So I'm not that familiar with these custom boat manufacturers. Any input on differences in cost, performance, more performance, and craftsmanship would be greatly appreciated. |

Not a lot of builders around when I bought mine. I went with Gator-Tail because I wanted a matched hull to their GTR35. Decide on a motor then match a hull to it. Lot of good builders but the folks at Gator-Tail can build anything you want to. All you have to do is ask

What are you from? There may be someone close that has a rig you could look at. |

I'm from about 50 miles NW of Houston. I'm sure Gatortail makes a fine boat and I already know I'm going with the GTR 35, but I just want to make a well informed decision and not wish I had gone with something else later. I haven't even been on a m.m. and I just don't know that much about them. I mostly hunt airboats, but they cost too damn much. |

Gatortail stands behind their rigs 100%!! They did alot of r&d to make their rigs perform best with their combos!! As for as I'm concerned their is no better match out their than their boat and motor combos!! |

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll go with my original plan, besides I can probably get into it quicker that way. I want to try to strike a deal with someone by the end of the week. Duck season is fast approaching! |
