Gator Tail Gator Series 48 x 17 2026

2026 Gator-Tail 17/48 Gator Series – Rugged, Lightweight Mud Boat Built for Performance

The 2026 Gator-Tail 17/48 Gator Series is the perfect combination of durability, shallow-water performance, and lightweight efficiency. Designed for serious hunters and outdoorsmen, this aluminum mud boat is built to handle tough backwater conditions while delivering reliable performance with the trusted Gator-Tail power package.

Constructed from 1/8' thick 5086 marine-grade aluminum, this 17-foot hull features 21” sides and a 21” transom, giving you strength and stability in demanding environments. The proprietary extruded longitudinal runners and performance sidewall crimp enhance handling, tracking, and overall ride quality in mud, timber, and shallow water.

Up front, the 4-foot front deck with access hatch and pedestal base provides functionality and storage, while the full floor design (no gutters) ensures a clean, easy-to-maintain interior. A stabilizer kit and rear starboard pod improve balance and control, making this boat ideal for tight maneuvering in the marsh or flooded timber.
