 Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
I priced out a '14 GTR 35/ Extreme 1754 today... Reverse Plate, Spud kit, troll motor wiring, that's about it.
$16,807
$18,643 after TTL.
Really? Does this sound accurate? Never in my life would I have thought I'd have to pay close to $20,000 for a set up as basic as this.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
Sounds about right. Try going custom. Might be able to shave a few thousand off.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
Id get a custom boat. I ended up paying about $14k for my boat motor and trailer. I got a 35GTRw/reverse plate. 1854 with huntdeck, aluminum gas tank, 3/16 bottom and transom 1/8 everything else, trolling motor mount, and 32in enclosed deck. got a 20 ft galvanized trailer for $1400. $14k is after taxes and everything. But like everyone said you still have to get a bat and all that stuff but you can get it for way cheaper than $500 that gatortail wants. Only other major expense i will have is painting the boat and maybe a trolling motor. I prolly paid $250 for batt, running lights, switches, and bilge pump. I got my wiring from extra wires at work.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
Call prodigy and give him a shot. Same price with a lot more options. Tell him what you want and he will build it. I'll be posting mine up in a few weeks.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
I understand. your paying for a brand. no different then GatorTrax. but with a brand comes yrs of trial / error and the cust service to back up any issues you may encounter.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
I looked at two different dealers for quotes one dealer gave me two, both I the 25k range with a great break down of everything, the other was a 25k mark which was just a number that would get me a loaded boat and motor package that would have "all the bells and whistles". It seems that ya really do have to pay to play.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
Thats price sounds about right to me. Mine was a little over $20,000 before taxes but I also added the stage 1, the trolling motor and removable mount, duck blind, and rod box. You got to pay to play but if your wanting to save some money just keep your eye out for a good used rig. I just think buying a used mud boat is like buying a used sports car from a teenager. Its better to pay a little more and know exactly what kind of abuse your motor has been through.

 Re: Priced out a '14 Gator Tail
Dealers charge and arm and a leg extra for small things like wiring, gas tanks, batteries, set up etc. you can save a ton if money ordering direct if you have a way to go get it.
