I’ve got one of those snowmobile throttles on my GDLT and I’m not really happy with what I designed, it needs a brake lever to be comfortable. But the lever is much safer and easier to drive than the set throttle.

It's standard now on the 37's and 40's. the old style is still the standard on the smaller setups.

Is this boat in addition to your other boat...or is it a replacement?

If it’s a replacement, can you explain why you are the first person to go backwards in the evolution of mudboat purchasing?

Most folk start there and then buy something with neutral, not the other way around.

That is Arlon’s rig. But, I’m seriously thinking of getting one for to supplement the SD rig.

BlueShamu, looks like a true flat hull? Is that .125/.100 or a combo? Thanks for posting the BW alternate throttle availability. I am still using the lever, "set it and forget it" type. That might be worth a try!

Thank you, Frank! Is it the 1752? Looks like true flat! I figure close to 500#? .100 would be plenty for me, my 1648 grizzly is .100 and is 400#...had a 1544 alumaweld (that became Xpress I believe) in .090 that I loved because it was 270#, but had ribbed bottom.

The one with the cover is on a full flat with hybrid rake. It is an 1856...big rig.

Arlon's rig is a ribbed bottom.
