Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Gator Trax 17 x 62 2010 vs Gator Trax GT 18 x 50 2013 — A Close Look at Two Flats
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Gator Trax 17 x 62 2010 and the Gator Trax GT 18 x 50 2013 are flat designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Gator Trax 17 x 62 2010 and Gator Trax GT 18 x 50 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
