Just a tip, you may want remove your prop and grease it with marine grade grease now. I bought a strike from GT about 3 years ago that I tried to pull the prop and universal hub off about 8 months after I bought it and ended up having to cut the hub off. Also, I would recommend buying the quicksilver (by mercury) universal plastic hub that is the same dimension as the Solas universal hub that comes on the boat from GT. The Solas hub is too stout, and will bind in the hub making it nearly impossible to remove (I found this out the hard way). The quicksilver hub is plastic and will discentegrate if you hit something solid, which is what you want.
Thank you! Stability is not an issue for me. Two people can fish comfortably on the front deck. Walk around all over the boat and it’s as stable as a rock. Most of the time it’s just me fishing, but I can very easily accommodate 1 or 2 more people. You can’t go wrong with a GatorTrax
Everything you see here plus the casting deck not shown run me around 33k. However that was before the cost of materials went up over the last couple months. I don’t know exact amount, but I’m positive this build would cost a little more right now
Off the top of my head I can’t remember the “max” rating, but I have seen this same boat with a side console with a 115 on it. I’ll find out and get back to you
Nice. This is about the same layout im looking for. I'd like a rod locker and livewell/ice chest though. Very nice rig! Gator trax boats will last a lifetime and then some.
Congrats. I love my 21' Navy Blue Strike Series. They build a heckuva boat!

Whats the draft on that thing? Shit gets down to 8 inches in some areas in south Texas in a lot of areas guys pass through
Did you go with the standard.125 gauge hull or upgrade to the 3/16?
Standard .125
Nice rig!! I am thinking about getting a very similar rig. How stable is it fishing on the front deck? I was thinking going wider for more stability.

What kind of speed are you getting with the Suzuki?
Mid to upper 30’s depending on load. I’ve topped it out at 38. Loaded down with fuel, fishing gear and cooler it will run 34-35
