At Gator-Tail, we love to hunt & fish just like you. That's why we build the most dependable and durable mud motors and boats on the planet. There are others who claim they make the best mud motor out there, but they're only kidding themselves. Gator-Tail is the fastest, the best in quality, and the only mud motor on the market that has had a proven instant reverse option on our motors for over a decade. To compliment our mud motors we also build the perfect boats to match them. Since we build them ourselves, our mud boats are optimized for speed and load carrying abilities.

Through our lineup of boats and outboards, GatorTail is helping anglers and hunters reach places they never thought possible. We're dedicated to improving on the status quo, designing field-tested products that can stand up to any punishment, anywhere. GatorTail is the product of passion and innovation, founded in 2004 by Kyle and Blaine Broussard.
Gator-Tail, the original belt-driven surface drive motor, is the one that changed the game. From a research project in college, this technological marvel has grown to drive the market in little over a decade. The next decade has begun with the evolution of our product from a niche market to a world-wide marine presence. Our surface drive motors will prove to be the most reliable way to get you places you never thought possible.
The GTR40XD is here to get you higher speeds and to carry heavier loads. It's GatorTail's most powerful motor yet. Join the GatorTail nation with a new GTR40XD and see what a powerful mud motor can do for you. The GTR40XD is more than just a number. It combines the ergonomic handle, high heat reverse cover, and three-piece lower unit of the GTRXD with a new camshaft, piston and connecting rod design for more power and durability, a new performance muffler for increased airflow, a new cylinder head profile for improved cooling, and a new EFI calibration for increased power and performance.
The smaller brother to the 40HP EFI, is our 25hp, all access engine. This motor meets all requirements for horsepower restricted areas. The full featured engine while lighter than its big brother, packs a powerful punch into its lightweight aluminum frame. Every 25HP EFI engine can haul your gear and partners where you need to be and get them back to enjoy the harvest.

Great service. Read some of the reviews about the service wasnt excited to go in see them, considering i dont know much about trim system. Instead of being ugly or rude about me not knowing much and asking questions, they took their time explained it in detail and even showed pics and specs to put it bck ttogeather. Instead of them just trying to sell me a new one to make more they truly tried to help me get it fixed. Great people over here will be a life time customer.

Gator Tail did an excellent job on our brush blind for our Tracker boat. Easy to just pop - up and hunt! It has held up to interstate travel and freezing mornings on the lake. Easy to operate, well constructed, and affordable option to building one ourselves.

I don't like leaving poor google reviews but I gave these guys a $200 refundable deposit to hold a trailer that wasn't even available yet because it was due to arrive in a few days. Later the same day, i called back to tell them we are not getting the trailer from them and need the deposit refunded. They said they already ran the card but they will reverse the charge. 3 days later i called back asking why it was not reversed yet.

The guy said he would do it promptly. Then 2 weeks later, i called again asking to reverse the charge. The guy tells me to I need to call my credit card to open a dispute to reverse the charge. He said it's just easier that way. These guys don't follow through on their word. They are probably just going to tell the bank i am lying so that i can't get the money back.

We offer credit card refunds all the time and they only take a minute to process. i had to waste 30 min on the phone with my credit card getting this process started. Credit card company said this is not right and he should not be doing this. Service this bad can't go unrecognized. You shop at Gator Tail, be warned that you are probably buying a trailer from China that will break in a week with no warranty. They don't stand behind their word. I wouldn't shop there.

Terrible customer service. Selling bunk products and charging an arm and a leg to replace their TERRIBLE design, then they sold me(not replaced) the "new and improved lower unit" that should have been on there in the first place. Way to NOT stand behind your products. I would not reccomend a GTR and will never by another!

Customer service terrible, looks like they have only one sales person his name is Bubba who never return your calls and ignoring all emails. Was trying to contact him for over 4 weeks to finalize a boat purchase and no luck. Worst experience in my life.

AMERICAN MADE! I love My Gatortail because I've never had that "grass is greener on the other side" feeling, but I've heard "I wish that's what I would have gone with" a thousand times. More importantly, their products are built to last and I can tell that they not only test their products but they use them and that's how they know what works and what doesn't. I love Gatortail because they care about their customers and take care of them by standing behind their products like no other.
