Lets see your duck boats

I have been shopping for a duck boat for a couple weeks. I duck hunt the shallow flats around Corpus and also Lake Corpus Christi/ Choke Canyon. During the summer I fish the Nueces and run the lakes for catfish. I currently have a 17ft jon with a 27hp MB LT. Gets the job done and will take me nearly anywhere I want to go but its SLOW. Looking for something a little more comfortable with a SD.

Thanks guys

I have a gator trax being built almost exactly like this one but a foot longer

will be a good duck boat for open bays/lakes plus it will run really shallow

I think you made an extremely wise choice. It won't do everything. No boat can do it all. That boat you are getting will do a whole lot more in the long run than any mud rig could ever do.

I really feel I found the best all around package

Will be a fun fishing rig plus a killer cast & blast boat in the fall

Anyone have any experience with excel boats?

Of all the guys on here with ducks boats, the guy that doesn't have his yet is the only one to post a pic.

I got to move around in one like this at their shop. It was aight. Not a lot of "floor space" though.

I went and got in a 18'x60" model CC at bass pro and it was fine.

Mine isn't gonna have the catwalks on the side so it will have more floor space

I'm excited, what can I say?!?

What time frame did they give ya?

kent said around 8 weeks.

hope to have it by the end of march.

I aint done with it yet


The other one



My fishing/duck hunting

Just because it is little is no indication of least

"that's my jenny"

Wal, is the grassed up one a Carsten Pintail?

It is a Carstens puddler.

My, wanna be a pirogue...

Nice. I have the Mallard.

You wanna trade? I want one that is bigger. Let me be cleear here, a bigger boat. I either have to drop some tonage, give it to my wife or trade for a bigger one. The best option would be a combination of all three.

Lol. I might. There are times I wish I had the smaller style. I think about it.

Wayne you need a shoe spoon to get into that thing?

that's cold

Hey, now that is not cold, Wayne is a big fella, I just don't see him slipping into that thing without a little help.

nice rigs guys. I will get a pic of mine tomorrow. Im leaning towards gatortrax.

getting in would be easier than getting him out.

The first pic is our new Havoc and the second is our old Gator Trax. We kept the 35 Mudbuddy off the old boat. Lots of good memories out of that gator trax!

I think that's what I was told and then when Steve sent me some pics ~10 days later it was way ahead of what I thought it would be.

Tomorrow about 6 am I will driving across the red and all the while you will be wondering where I am and why I aint picked you up.

Did they try and land in the boat?

No, they tried to land in the bushes. Luckily we killed every one of them before they could!

you wouldn't have a chance of making it there without me getting you through those minor timeouts with the Troopers

Trolling for Rob Robertson rig pics.

Where has he been? haven't seen him post in awhile.

G Trax 1750
MB 7000

Yes it hauls the mail

The shift linkage is broken so.. it's permanently in drive till probably this summer when I'll have time to work on it! 15.5 ft. MonArk with 25 hp mariner. Restoration project with rattle can paint job and a little redneck ingenuity.

If ya'll were going to buy an aluminum boat, but didn't want to spend the money on a gator trax, what brand would you go with? I'm selling my bass boat and wanting to get an aluminum and looking at the grizzly tracker and alumicrafts. I want a 17-18ft CC and I'm going to have someone install a jackplate and run a 4 stroke yamaha. Also want to be able to fish in the summer time.

Miss this one

GatorTail or Prodrive.

I looked at the grizzly tracker and those things are like beer cans.

Is that a DIY cart or store bought?

If I were to guess (and knowing your propensity to build stuff:), I'd guess it was one of your projects.

I made it out of some old tires and pvc.

There is a center console Grizzly that I see come up my street a couple of times recently. It's a good looking boat but looks only get you so far.

Most of the cheaper boats are made of the thinner .100.

He could also look at Prodigy, Willet or one of the other million custom builders.

Sweet rig! I want to see a picture of the truck too...

Nice.

I like the fact you and your boys are just wearing life jackets. It is a great policy, one I am trying to get myself used to. I reckon it would be easier if I had young boys along.

This is my high horse power rig.

GT 17X50 45 mag. will be for sale soon

Sweet rigs!

Just picked up my new setup. Drove to Alabama to pick the sucker up!

I bet that sucker will roll out!
