I can't say how impressed I am with this boat. It met all my expectations and then some.
This is as close to a "do all" boat as I think you can get

I couldn't resist...I love this boat! It handled big rough water, skinny water loaded w/trees, reeds, etc. And my pup learned the easy entry on the hunt deck. I wouldn't change anything on this rig (for me).

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

The barracuda is the bay boat that Gator Trax builds. But I have a feeling it'll be out of my price range. Have you had a chance to run your new rig in some heavy chop yet? The one I plan on building will spend alot of time in Toledo Bend and we run into some nasty waters trying to run those boat lanes through a cross wind. What's your sidewall height?

I got into some rough stuff yesterday. 25 mph winds it was rough. Started gusting to 40 mph and it was touch and go. Headed to the bank and speared a big wave. Boat filled up with water, I hit the bilge pump and was able to keep it moving forward with the waves pushing the boat. Made it to shore. I can say that it performed as well as any fishing boat would have in that situation.
