Watched a video online. Couple questions. 1. Is there any floatation in this rig? 2. Are the livewells insulated? 3. The hull design looks fast but flat. Can anyone that owns one or ridden in one say they like it in big water? Viable questions. I know of areas where they could excel though when I think of rocky lakes up north and TBend too but the big water comes into question when thinking of TB and Rayburn..
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

that was with a 200 merc and no electronics was just as much as a fully rigged top of the line glass rig with a 250 sho on it.

I have a 21. Been on Toledo, Rayburn. and Texoma with 20-25 mph winds and higher gusts. The boat can handle it just fine. Its a tank. When its brutally windy you will feel them a little more than a 21 glass boat because it doesnt have the flex you get in a glass boat. However it isnt that big of a difference. For me the advantages far outweigh any areas that might be slightly different from a glass boat.

My first boat was a Old Rivited Grumman and I beat the brakes off that thing. I can see with solid and heavier construction how GTS would perform more like a glass boat. If a person has been a lifetime Angler and Boater and has every plan to continue this should be your last boat. Iam tired of fiberglass repairs, waxing, chipped gelcoat, rusted trailers and CARPET. The no maintenance and versitilty is what Iam after and that would be worth alot of money.

Nice rig. I like these boats a lot. Good thread. OP, your pictures are gone. Can you reload them using a different method?

My team partner has a new 21 foot one. I can second David its a great boat. I was a little apprehensive when he told me he was ordering one but I have been super impressed with the ride and the way it fishes.

The more I read about them and the more I look at their website the more I am intrigued. I'm sure its like anything else they get more and more expensive but their base prices look pretty affordable.
