The "G" in God should always be capitalized. If your are speaking about the God from The Bible. If you are going to take His name in vain, at least give him the respect.

Pretty much. Was just trying to centralize an actual review since that thread went so haywire.

Here are some old pics. Tomorrow will get some good interior/exterior pics in the daylight. Some things might be different as some of these pics are before the final product was finished.

You said you ran 23 w/ 6 people. Did you try to run the same load in deepwater? If so did it step?

Re: InstaGator 16.5' x 46" w/25GTR Review
No I didnt. I bet would still have run 21-22mph just from the way it has run with everything else. It was rough that day out in deep water. I was still running 4,000rpm's with the 6 man load. Nothing changed but speed.

Re: InstaGator 16.5' x 46" w/25GTR Review
I like the gun box setup, does not take up room in the action part of the boat. Glad to hear the 25 Subaru runs like that- guessing the Kohler 25 would not produce those results? Any ballpark weight of the hull alone? I am impressed that it is in .100 gauge, most on here don't think that gauge is enough- but I do.
