Very blessed man. I forgot the most important picture from yesterday. My 4 year old, 6 year old, and wife filled the boat with goggle eye.

Just wanted to tell you what a awesome rig. The dedication to research
and determination to get the boat you wanted is impressive. Congrats
on building your dream.
So you’ve had this boat a few years and I’m curious to know what the long term impressions are? How’s that paint and hydro turf held up? Are the trim tabs needed?

Long term impressions, main one is I am very glad I had mine built when I did. Aluminum prices are very high now. This is a boat I will never get rid of. I will always own this boat. The paint and hydroturf are still holding up great. I can't speak for the trim tabs because I do not have them on my boat, so I guess I don't really know what I'm missing. The design of the the Strike Series hull has changed since mine was built, so I can't speak for the current hulls. The goal was to not look like an aluminum boat. I do not agree with that. I want it known my boat is aluminum

No problem man. Good luck with your decision. I have no regrets and get the "multi purpose" use I intended. I'll attach a few recent pictures of it in action.

haha. A deer on a bass boat. You are definitely from Louisiana.
Not just a Louisiana thing. We do that here in Ohio too. Get alot of looks going down the highway
Those are great pictures.

Gatortrax is definitely on the short list for retirement boats
Having owned a painted aluminum boat for the last 4 years, I see some actual genius in the Gator paint scheme. At first I thought it was ugly, but now I realize that scuffs and bumps just blend in, or can be touched up easily. Otherwise, a painted aluminum boat looks old and worn out in just a year or two. These guys may be on to something.

I think the GT's are awfully cool boats. Some of their paint schemes are a bit "loud," but to each his own. From a tin boat construction perspective, they seem to be unparalleled. I'd sure love to own one, but, I don't do truck/boat loans.

Life is too short and money is too cheap to not finance a toy :)
It’s admirable to not finance beyond your means. I developed a play budget of about 1000 per month years ago - golf, fishing, ATVs, etc all have to fit in that budget. Works for me, especially as cheap as money is. I use cash for investing in things that don’t depreciate, like rental property.
Hehehe.....good on ya'!
I was taught by my father to never finance ANYthing other than ones home IF possible. (Establishing/growing a business is another solid reason in a lot of cases) I get that money IS very cheap nowadays and it's foolhardy to pull "good money" to pay for most things. Pull 10% money when 3% is available? Not smart.....lose 7% via the flop.
However, in my mind if it's a toy and I've got to finance it then I really can't afford it. However, I realize many don't see it that way and that's A-ok.
