GT stands for GatorTail, not Gatortrax. and Gatortrax doesnt make a motor, just hulls. first thing to consider is what type of areas you will go 90% of the time. think bout if your gonna need reverse or not? do you want neutral or not? manual or electric trim? these are all options to consider when deciding on the brand.

You know there was a video of a kid that built his own little surface drive for a small skull looking boat. It was great! It hauled but for a little boat like that.

I am in the process now of builing a very small sneak/skull/layout boat. I am to the point now the frame is done but I am dreading the fiberglass work. I freakin hate fiberglass work.

My wife is awesome. I told her the 5 hp pressure washer is broken and it will cost $180 to fix it. You know what she says to me? She says well why don't you just buy a new one and use the 5hp motor off the broken one to make a long tail mud motor for your sneak boat. No wonder I married that girl.

hey i know that guy too. his name is terry and the guy can flat out drive one of these MM. let me assure you he did not get stuck and probably has more hours on the tiller than alot of us put together. He is best fiends with Kyle Broussard, founder of Gatortail and the surface drive. he was one of the first ones to ever have one.
