I have a Gator Trax, its a flat bottom mud boat with a surface drive, 2008 year model, I have put that boat through hell during duck season in some very stump filled lakes and it has held up very well. They are built like a tank and built very well.

I am sure the bass boats would be the same. I don't like fishing from mine though.

I fish out of a glass boat.

Gator Trax builds a good product.

Yes he runs one. He posted here about the boat one time

Keith Poche is running one this year in MLF

Forgive me for not watching the entire video. 2 questions- did Ken say what he will use the new boat for, and also the different methods he will use to rate each boat?

It will ride better in rough water than any glass bass boat, just a little slower and not as dry.

It will ride better almost as good in rough water than any glass bass boat, just a little lot slower and not as dry.

Great review, I really enjoy your reviews.
I personally run a 2018 G3 Sportsman 19 that is dressed out pretty well with a yamaha 150, dual poles and 10" birds with 24v ultrex so I am very in tune with how this set up runs, great review. The G3 has pros and cons, I will say Bear trailers leave a lot to be desired.
I also would encourage a review of the Avid boats, I have only seen two but they look really really nice.

Interesting, so on a 19 foot boat you have a, well basically a 500 lb motor and another 50 lbs in power poles and brackets, does the boat fish, or set in the water in a nose up position?

It does not sit nose up that I am aware of, you have alot more experience than I do as what exactly is the definition of that term. I stand about 230lbs so that may help from a fishing standpoint, but over all no sir.
