Should be a nice project. Looks like you're only a few minutes from me, so hollar if you need some help.

Yea, I considered it. I even considered building it myself. Problem is that I just can't talk myself out of the Gator Trax. I will have some custom features done, and other than modifying the basic hull they will do anything you ask them to do. Remember, they were the "custom" builder years ago...

Gator Trax 1750 HD with Hybrid rake, extended deck, gun box, half box with pedestal seat, and 9 gallon gas tank beneath the HD.

I can I guess. It's a new aluminum hull so there nothing to work on there, but I will be doing another camo job and installing the Hydro-Turf. I bought an old aluminum bay boat trailer and I've been completely refurbishing it, and that would have made a good thread if I would have thought of...

It has been converted to a 5500, it was just a 45 block that we built up. The longtail was my first mud motor back in 1992. We ran that sucker for years! I used to have it on an old 14x36, but we finally gave up and trashed it a few years back and sold it for scrap. And no, I never did a...

Anybody see the next little project laying around in the pics above? [-X

The of course I had to paint them to match I had to put some thought into making the existing holes line up with the new holes I had to drill in the gutter guards because the existing holes let me tap down through the floor, the 1/2" floor runner below it, and the rib. That, plus an extra...

My thinking from the start was to leave the floor as a solid sheet of aluminum, and have separate pieces on each side that would fit around the ribs and attach to the floor. This meant that they had to be strong enough to cantilever out and still support the weight of a person standing on them...

The next project is what I called "gutter guards" when I was working on them. This boat has huge ribs, so the floor was left short on both sides leaving this "gutter" where leaves, trash, cell phones, wedding rings, shotgun shells, and other items could get lost forever. You can see what I...

Next was the rear bench A few cuts, some paint on the new drivers seat base, and it now looks like this
