A little tiller time and it wont be a problem at all. Also when you put a hunting load in the boat, I.E. 2-4 guys and gear, it will turn on a dime.

You'll get used to the slide pretty quick man.....the more weight you have in the boat the less it'll slide.

 Re: 08 gator tail boat ?
I got an 1860....
U better be on the horn with that sucker....itll come around
Wouldnt have it any other way....
Sliding is fun once you realize its gona do it.
Put a 250# 24" raised deck on it with about 400# of bowfishing gear in it and its real butt puckering...
First time it happened to me you coulndt have pounded a greased needle up my a$$ with a sledge hamma.... Ask Craig..He was there..

Just get out there and drive, don't be a super man cause you'll end up on a bank somewhere or seriously stuck, been stuck before and needed air-boat assistance!
