2026 Gator-Tail 17/50 MID-DECK SAVAGE SERIES Sold Boat in Goldsboro, NC 27534 US

The 2026 Gator Tail 17/50 Mid-Deck Savage Series is a purpose-built aluminum boat engineered for outdoorsmen, anglers, and hunters who demand rugged durability, versatile performance, and a layout that's as functional as it is tough. Designed to thrive in shallow water, flooded timber, swamps, and backcountry waterways, this hull delivers the reliability and capability you need when exploring remote fishing grounds or hauling gear through tough terrain.

At its core, the Savage Series features a 17-foot long, 50-inch wide all-aluminum hull with a modified "V" bottom and performance step hull design that promotes strong tracking, efficient planing, and improved stability - even when loaded with gear or hauling tackle. The mid-deck configuration adds a raised deck area ahead of the operator station, making it easier to load equipment, clear low-hanging branches, and maintain a solid center of gravity while underway.

Built from one-piece .125" 5086 marine-grade aluminum with extruded longitudinal ribs, the boat's construction emphasizes durability and long-term resilience against impacts, abrasion, and corrosion - a must for boats used in rugged environments like flooded timber and shallow bays. With 24" side height, rub rails, and a T-Rail gunnel, the Savage Series is ready for serious use right out of the yard.

The Mid-Deck Savage comes equipped with functional utility features that appeal to hunters and fishermen alike. Dual rear pod boxes, welded gun boxes, side gun trays, bow rails, and a front hatch with under-deck storage provide ample organized space for gear, tools, and tackle. A dropped front deck with a pedestal seat base gives you a commanding vantage point for casting, spotting fish, or maneuvering through tight waterways.

Performance-enhancing touches like a trolling motor bracket and stabilizer kit keep your setup flexible whether you're locked into a fishing spot or pushing through shallow water. A 21" transom accommodates surface drive or outboard engine installations, giving you options for power you can tailor to your style of boating or hunting.

The 2026 Gator Tail 17/50 Mid-Deck Savage Series isn't just a boat - it's a versatile platform built for adventure. From early-morning fishing runs in skinny water to hauling gear through backwoods waterways or navigating swamp flats during hunting season, this hardworking aluminum craft delivers function, strength, and flexibility that you can count on wherever your outdoor pursuits take you.
