I think Lake Fork Fiberglass put the gator hull on so you can call them and they can tell you all you will need to know. I do know they are very strong and will hold up. They also slow your boat down about 1.5 to 2 MPH other then that you will not even know it is on your boat. I just thought of one more thing be careful when you first get it back and do not unhook boat till it is in the water. The boat will be very smooth on the bottom and can slide off the trailer when backing down the ramp.

Ditto, I love mine. Gives you confidence in the jungles of Palestine and Fork.

Now if we could just get a lower unit made out of that stuff. LOL

I had a Gorilla Hull from Toledo Fibreglass put on mine this past December. I live on Flat Creek on Lake Palestine. So far it " Takes a beating and keeps on ticking ". I'm very pleased with it.

I thought I read they were about $100 a lineal foot.

At Toledo Fibreglass lenght doesn't matter. They are way, way more than $100 per foot. Give them a call. They have six bays and lots of employes. They have been putting Gorilla Hulls on for many years.

I got my gator hull from lake fork fiberglass. Mike will take care of you and a quick turn around. I can tell you they are tuff, I have put mine thur the worst stump fields. Just don't forget to latch up before you leave the water for the first 15 or 20 times. Your boat will slide off. The hull might survive but you motor won't.

I just got one put on back in November. Lake Fork Fiberglass did mine and i have been very pleased. Mike is a stand up guy and my customer service experience with him far exceeded my expectations. As for the price, i have a 20ft boat and that alone was $2500. Remember that comes with a way better warranty than fiberglass repair.

Lake Fork Fiberglass does a great one and Mike knows how to do it ! He has installed many of them. I do not have one but I have talked with buddies who had them done at Mikes LFF and all of them swear by it. You may want to consider the travel to have it done. Just my opinion. Good Luck !
