Custom?

**coot nasty** · 02-03-2015, 08:17 PM

Is this boat custom or does gator trax make this style regularly? I figured some of you prostaffers would know.

Looks like a deep wall version of The Rogue.

I sure would like to have one. I need to find out if I can still get this built. If so i will have a hull for sale fo Sho!

Looks like they make a "high side" or "deep wall" version. Not sure it is as deep as that picture looks but it's on their website.

Dang. How tall is the transom?

Im betting its a 16 X 44 GT with 21" sides and the added v nose bull bar.

Those sides got to be more than 21"

If they are then its probably a custom. You can get 24 on the Big Water series but they start at a 62" bottom. PM Trashduck and ask him. He's the dealer.

Side walls on my Xpress are 21 inches. This thing looks to have 30 to 32 inch side walls. Not sure what good that does with a flat bottom boat.

You don't get soaked in rough chop with a flat "nose" boat like that? Just curious..

Hell yeah you do!!! My 1750 Gator Trax with hunt deck would soak you too the bone running across a rough lake!! It wasn't so much coming from the flat nose as much as it was being blown back at you by the wind after it rode up high on the sides. There's not a lot of flare on mud boat hulls to deflect water low and away so you end up catching it when it blows back.

It's a rogue (no crimped chines) with higher sides. gator trax will build any option into any model as long as you are willing to pay for it.
yes it will be a wet boat but logic behind high sides it to keep waves from coming over. Rather be wet than sunk. If you're looking for a dry boat then stop looking at mud boats

Eehhh.... I went from running an old flat nosed gator trax 17x50 to the 16x50 hybrid. Night and day difference. It will keep you pretty damn dry until you try and run off the coast in moderate to heavy chop. But at that point, you don't really need to be out in a boat like that anyway.

yea I agree 100% that some mud boats are leaps and bounds drier than other but overall none of them are what I would consider to be dry or smooth riding boats.

ask jeff. he took the pic.

Some of the lettering looks stretched. Could it be a Photochop?

**Goin Coastal** · 02-04-2015, 09:26 AM

This one is shown under the GT models on their website. It doesn't have a ribbed side. The Rogue comes in like a 32 inch bottom so if it is a Rogue it is definitely custom.
