what would be the best hull for a 35 GTR?
my normal hunt load is two guys about 280 and gear

18'x48"

thats what i was thinkiing
what a huntdeck or a sport deck?

the hunt deck will keep the water out the boat while reversing I don't know about the sport deck but I do like the way the sport deck looks compared to the hunt deck. The 18x48 is a great hull for that motor.

yeah i might go with the sport deck it looks good and it doesnt take room out of yout boat

If you are looking at a gator tail boat call them and talk with them about it,they can answer any questions you may have.

im getting uncle j to make me a boat,

18'x48" run better with a load then 18'x54"

Thanks for clearing that up for me

i decided to go with the 1848 but i havent decided on either the huntdeck or the sport deck

I have an 1848 with the hunt deck and love it. I live off of Bayou Black in Houma. More than welcome to come check it out.

I would vote for the hunt deck to keep the water and mud out when in reverse

x2 on the hunt deck....although the sport deck looks good im just not sure how it will keep the water out of the boat while WOT in reverse. i get little to no water in the boat while at WOT while reversing in both mud and deep water. just keep that in mind.

19x46

What about the thickness of aluminum?
3/16?

What about the thickness of aluminum?
3/16?

For most people 1/8 is enough but yet others can destroy a hull made out of 1/4

What's Your thickness

Mine is all 1/8 which if fine for croosin over logs and stuff, but if you will be runnin in an area wit lots of stumps or cypress knees then I would suggest a 1/8 hull wit a 3/16 bottom.

Thats what i was thinking.i run a lot of swamp with knees everywhere

do any of yall have the tapered bottom of yall transom for when reversing?

Bayou black hunter,
I used to have a tapered transom for reverse... I found that it hurt my topend speed, and my ability to get on step quick.. its almost like it lets the boat squat a little more. I did not put it on my new boat.

Oh didnt think it would hurt the performance.im just thinking of what other features I can add to a boat

lol
what other ideas yall might have im open for suggestions

bump

insurance....just sayin

i would also look into the LED lighting like shafer had. it looks like it would make it alot easier when you get to the blind.

Rod holders...if you fish...there aint nothing worse than layin your poles down, hitting a stump and steppin on your new g. loomis rod

Im getting rod holders for sure
How Much are those lights that he put I his boat im sure you could use the cheap one from walmart that kids put in there lil rice burners?

i wanna get some but dont wanna give a arm and a leg
