GATOR-TAIL

MOTORSSETTING THE STANDARD

Gator Tail, the original belt-driven surface drive engine, is

the one that changed the game. From a research project

in college, this technological marvel has grown to drive

the market in a little over a decade. The next decade has

begun with the evolution of our 37 and 25 EFI engines.

These engines will prove to be the most reliable way to

get you places you never thought possible.

THE SALE OF EACH UNIT ALLOWS US

TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT

IMPACT ON

WATERFOWL CONSERVATION

MOTOR

DUCKS UNLIMITED WELCOMES US AS A NEW CORPORATE PARTNER.

In 2015, Gator-Tail will offer a 25

horsepower Ducks Unlimited edition

featuring a blacked out color and

matte finish. Each motor will

be assigned a limited edition

serial number stamped on a

stainless steel plate resembling

a waterfowl band on the

side of the belt-housing.

Obtaining the DU license was very important as it allows us to

make a significant impact on waterfowl conservation with the

sale of each unit. Ducks Unlimited’s membership and support

base consists of avid sportsmen and waterfowlers who rely

on quality gear and equipment in the field. Our products will

certainly live up to their expectations.

“

“

We’re excited to work on this project with

Gator-Tail. Mud motors are growing in

popularity with waterfowl hunters, and DU is

fortunate to have the opportunity to capitalize

on this momentum with one of the biggest

names in the industry.

GET HIDDEN

Looking for the perfect duck blind? Look no

further than right here! Gator-Tail has several

blind options to choose from. We offer a

great removable folding fast grass blind

that’s light weight and can be deployed

in seconds. Gator-Tail also offers our

custom floating duck blind called the

Quack House as well as custom hard

sided blinds built for your hunting

needs. Gator-Tail has the blind

for you.

JIM RONQUESTRNT-V

STUTTGART // ARKANSAS

“I’ve come to rely daily on Gator Tail Outboards. They allow us to

travel places we used to have to pull the boat, they are agile

through flooded woods and best of all, you don’t have to worry

about water pumps clogging or breaking gears in lower units, that

and the folks that build ‘em are top shelf people! You will not go

wrong with a Gator Tail!

GROSSE SAVANNE WATERFOWL & WILDLIFE LODGE

LAKE CHARLES // LOUISIANA

“It is very important to have the most efficient yet reliable

equipment on the market to get our guests to and from numerous

blinds and fishing holes through the shallow marshes within the properties around the lodge. In most cases, the only way to go is with the Gator-Tail outboards. As Grosse Savanne’s marshes

continue to heal from Hurricanes Rita and Ike, it’s becoming more

difficult to run through sense vegetation with traditional

outboards. These motors have definitely become the best way to

run around the marshes of South Louisiana.”

JUNIOR & WILLIE EDWARDS FISHERMEN

BAYOU SORREL // LOUISIANA

“Twenty-five years ago if we would have had a Gator-Tail we would

have made a fortune crawfishing. This thing will get you in some

shallow water where you couldn’t get to where we fish with an

outboard. You pull up to your traps and hit the reverse to get right up against your trap and it

saves quite a bit of time in a day’s work. Anywhere you could go in a pirouge you could go with

this. You can get into some pretty tight places. This is a pretty damn

good motor that’s hard to beat I can tell you that.”

CAPT. MARTY LACOSTEABSOLUTE FISHING CHARTERS

DULARGE // LOUISIANA

“I rely on my Gator Tail for my business, being a guide I

need a reliable “Work Horse” I can trust. The Gator-Tail

does everything I need for duck hunting, bow fishing, and shallow water fishing

for reds. The Gator-Tail is unstoppable in the

shallows and mud and I would recommend

it to anyone in the market for

a mud boat.”

MIKE DETRAZ JR.JAM HUNTING

MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA

“Gator-Tail performs great in all types of terrain and really shines

in vegetation and performs well in open water”. We use our Gator-Tail

for hunting and fishing in Central America and it’s the perfect all

around, year round boat for us. It gets us there and back and our

clients are happy thanks in part to Gator-Tail!”

BLAKE SOILEAUFULL STRAP + STRINGER

JONESVILLE // LOUISIANA

“Amazing product. Our guides rely on your motors everyday and

without fail they deliver reliability and dependability each time. The

service and warranty departments have treated us professionally

as well. Thanks again to our partners at Gator Tail for allowing

us to provide a level of service to our clients that is unmatched

anywhere in the waterfowl outfitting business.”
