    I have a gator trax rogue 14-38 (forgot to include that in the first post). I love it. I hunt mainly backwater so a big boat isn't necessary. Me and the dog are usually the only occupants.

    Geaux Boat, second best money ever spent on duck stuff, best was Mud Buddy 23HP Hyperdrive motor. Have used it from Currituck to Arkansas and love the set up. Not one of the top 4 boats, but works perfect for me.

    you buy the geaux from ned or kevin? also you've been a member for a long time and have less than ten posts? just curious. I have a buddy on here that's been a member for a while and when I asked him where he's been he just replied''life's been busier than the net''.

    Go-Devils are the best out there, I have a 31 long tail on a 16ft go-devil boat. It will go anywhere. I have seen more gator trax and mud buddys broke down in the swamp than any othre boats.

    throttle cables are tough. Spray wd 40 in there to try and displace any water and get some grease to put on the ends of the tube around the cable to try and block water from getting in. Also works good to cover the engine to keep frost and water from getting up there.

    bought it from Kevin, have not been on here because of the filthy language, anti SCWA attitudes, and other BS that went on when first signed on, tried it again a few days ago when trying to find owner of duck call I found at WMA, might stay with it this time, might not.

    Why do you like SCWA? I know the bands look cool your lanyard, but other than that.

    Night owl, spray WD40 through the cable till it is running out the handle end of cable. That way you know you got all the water out, then take some heavy grease and put a dab on both ends of the cable to seal out the water in the future. Covering the motor will help greatly to.

    You gona keep the rogue and 23 right? I thought you were getting the F-4, what made you change your mind and get the Viper?

    How long you think you might keep this rig? I think 3 months tops, then you'll be ready to buy something else!
