Re: Gator-Tail

personally i find it environmentally unfriendly. you are not suppose to disturb the grass beds and mudd bottom. the breeding grounds and nurseries of the fish we are persuing.

Re: Gator-Tail

True! but some of the lakes I fish are so thick with weeds that you can not go 20 feet from the launch before bogging down. I know that can not be good for the Lil Rude. I wasnt thinking of driving over any and every thing I could, just looking for an advantage to be able to get where I can't right now.

Re: Gator-Tail

if it's that thick, i doubt the Gator tail is going to help, because of the grad on the boat. we use it POLE thru places like that, and it was hard with a pole.

Re: Gator-Tail

Ok a pole is a good Idea! Thanks Tash, River boats are evil :devil: or at least a lot of the people that own them around here.

They are the PWC's of the rivers. A lot of tubing goes on here, gently floating down the river with a cold one and a pole and here comes an idiot with one of those creatures, buzzzzzing by you 5 feet away screwing up everything.

Ok enough ranting, from the lack of responses I assume no one owns on of these motors.
