    Default War eagle gladiator 750?

    In my search for a mud boat I saw war eagles new gladiator. Anyone seen the boat in person? Other than a few YouTube videos there isn't much info on them. It looks like it might have logitudal bracing. Other than a true flat bottom I don't see anything about the bottom of the boat. Looks like they have designed it for timber hunters, which is what I'm after.

    Still not a true mud hull.

    Got a friend with one. It is a flat bottom. As opposed to the 8 degree V of most War Eagles but it still has strakes the length of the hull. It is definitely not a mud boat but more of a Timber boat. The strakes will still hang you up in a spin if stuck on a stump.The duck bill is beefy and should work well. The pods on the back are small unlike the hunt decks of true mid boats. The interior is spacious with plenty of storage. I would take one over the Havoc "mud boat" model but not over my Gator Trax.

    The longitudinal ribs are are a step in the right direction on a true mud hull or not to try and prevent hull hooking.

    I'm an Xpress guy and they make a mud hull now (their Bayou series), but after talking to them directly and finding out they only put 3 longitudinal ribs in them I opted for another Gator Trax.
