 Gatortail vs Beavertail
Hey,
Wondering if anyone has and good information about the quality of Gatortail vs Beavertail. I know that GT has reverse and BT does not at this point. Are there any problems with beavertail motors? Is it a good motor ? I have been looking at the 35hp and wondering who has the better motor.

 Re: Gatortail vs Beavertail
GT has been around alot longer, and have probably done more testing along with more research and development than anyone else. Resulting is a superior motor.

 Re: Gatortail vs Beavertail
Beavertail now makes a short tail mud motor closely resembling that of a gator tail. Go with a gator tail...the only beavertails I've ever seen were on a boat in front of cabelas.....and they been sitting there for months. Something tells me they aren't a hot item.

 Re: Gatortail vs Beavertail
sounds good..It looks like I will go with the GT SD, sounds like from talking to beavertail they are working on a mod that will bolt on and will make the motor go in reverse. He said it was an electric device byt would not tell me more. Comes out this fall.
