I have a 1993 Pro-Gator 178V and It looks, runs, and rides like a brand new one. I have jumped logs to get to where I was going on Lake Fork and it is one tough boat. If anything was to ever happen to this boat, I would get me another Pro-Gator for sure. I wore out my trailer and got me another one. If you take care of a Gator, it will take care of you. Thank you Leroy for building me the boat of a lifetime.

I love the 24 ft. Gator Bay !!! I have a 250 Yamaha Saltwater Series engine turning an 18 in. 3 blade prop. I bought the boat for mainly fishing red fish in shallow duck ponds as it only draws 12 in. of water. Its roomy, fishes 5 people easily and stalking reds in 2 ft. of water is no problem. I used the boat the past 2 weeks strictly offshore up to 20 miles off the coast. I had different sea conditions every other day and I was very pleased with the performance of the boat although the seas were rarely above 2 ft. The last day we encountered big ground swells offshore and we had to take it slow because we couldn't run in that slop. The live well systems are great with very good movement and recirculation of water. The pumps are strong and very efficient! The boat was very dry riding as we never got wet the entire 2 weeks offshore. In my opinion Mr. Leroy and the gang make a great solid boat that is perfectly laid out for the serious fisherman. I think you would be happy with the 24 ft. Gator Bay!

I have a 2000 model 200V / Merc 225EFI. I have about 300 hours on my boat and I can honestly say that it's the best bang for your buck -- period! With a "worked" 26p Trophy Plus, she'll run 74 mph with a moderate load, full tank of gas and fishing partner. Loaded to the gills, she'll still do 70 mph all day - any day. The extremely tough hull and the ability to run in the roughest of water is what sets Pro-Gator apart from all of the other big name cookie cutter boats. it's also cool having the only one within 500 miles. The look on 196 Triton owners faces when you blow by them on the way to the scales is just an added bonus. All this from a previous Ranger owner!

I recently bought the Progator 150C with fifty horse Johnson motor and really like what I got. The boat for a fifteen footer has as much room in it as most 19 ft. boats. It plains out fast and is extremely fast for such a small motor. The boat handles extremely well and can accommodate 3 people easily. Also impressive is the ease of handling when launching. The easy load trailer that comes with the package is very easy to back and easy to get the boat on and off of. As far as I'm concerned you can't beat this package for the money. Way to go Progator.

I own a 2110 Gator Bay that I can honestly say is 2nd to none. I've owned many boats in my life, both bass boats and bays, and all of them had some things I liked, but Gator Bay has all the best features in one package. Since I only live a few miles from the plant, I was able to watch my boat being built from stem to stern, so I know firsthand what care and quality goes into every Gator. It's like Leroy is building every boat for his own personal use. Also, I have to mention the Suzuki 225 4-stroke. It's the quietest, most fuel-efficient outboard I've ever owned.

Hey, I have a 2000 mod 200 Gator with a 200 Merc., 23 pitch tempest and with an average load my Gator will gps at 68 mph. It is also the smoothest ride I have ever had in a boat even in rough water. I would recommend this boat to anybody that wants a supreme bass boat for a low budget. Thanks Pro Gator for an awesome boat!!!

It is a very nice boat with a smooth ride, great control, and fishability. I say they’re #1.

I bought it in 1993 and it still looks new. I have jumped a many of Lake Fork Stumps-Logs and the Hull is Solid. I would never own another brand of Boat. Leroy builds his boats with pride and workmanship. As Upgrades came available, like new and more comfortable seats, I had them installed on my boat. It is a boat of a lifetime and will last me a lifetime. Leroy probably don't get much repeat business, unless an individual wants to upgrade to a bigger boat. If taken care of, a Gator will last a lifetime. NO DOUBT...
 NOW, What I really need is about 3 Pro-Gator Stickers for a 178V. Mine are wearing out. Can I order them on line?

After years of running name brand bass boats and being disappointed with the quality and performance I decided to take a look at the PRO-GATOR 186. After visiting with Leroy Moore the guru and owner of PRO-GATOR boats, I was convinced to give the 186 a try. It came equipped with an Evinrude 150 hp ETEC engine, the performance and stability is beyond question the best I have experienced. It is a dry ride even in the roughest water. give PRO-GATOR a try, you won't be disappointed.

I love my 190V so much. Since I moved to Missouri a lot of people have asked me how can they get a Pro Gator. I make sure to tell them about your web site, keep up the good work. I have not found a better hull on a bass boat since I bought my Pro Gator in 2000. Thank you for a fine bass boat.

I recently bought a 2005 190V Pro Gator with a 175 Johnson Bombardier on it. I am very pleased with the Pro Gator brand would recommend it to anyone. I have served in the Army for 17 years and I was finally able to afford a nice boat. Being cheap by nature I did a lot of research on the different types of boats (designs for hulls, transoms, style, etc...) Anyway, to make a long story short, with the rugged design and stylish look, you would be crazy to go with any other brand of boat.

I bought a Pro Gator 154S from Donna and Leroy 2 weeks ago(3-30-07). I have not been fishing yet but did take it out once to make sure it would float. It does float just like Leroy promised and with the 60 H.P. Evinrude E-tec motor it does run real good, real quiet and fast. I have owned many boats in the last 30 years but this is the very first new boat I have ever owned. I decided that I could either buy me a new boat or let my kids nickel and dime me to death and then I would still be fishing from the bank. If you are interested in buying a boat you owe it to yourself to make a visit to Pro Gator and visit with some of the most honest and friendly people I have ever done business with. Thanks Donna and Leroy.

I've owned my Progator 200v for 5 years now and friends with Champion and Ranger boats agree that my boat handles rough water better and rides smoother. I love it and don't believe there is a better boat made.

After having my Pro Gator for a year I have to tell you, it has to be the strongest boat ever made. I fish at least two BASS tournaments a month, and I love fishing in the back of creeks where it is good and stumpy. My 190V ProGator has never had a problem. Even during thunderstorms on Toledo Bend with huge swells, my Pro Gator got me back to the weigh-in on time without a problem. After a year, I though that I would have at least some small problems, but I'm here to tell you never once has my Pro Gator had anything go wrong. If you looking for a great boat that you are not going to have to turn around and put more money into, "GET A GATOR."

My brother has the 24 ft. Champion and I've rode in it a lot. My 24 ft Gator Bay is equal to the Champion. Both boats are dry riding unless you get in high seas with a crosswind. Of course you'll get wet in any boat in those conditions. Hard to beat that big front deck to fish from on the Gator Bay. No wasted space in the boat anywhere as it was well thought of when building the boat. All compartments are dry with good rubber seals. Live wells are very efficient with good strong pumps. You won't lose any live bait with these systems. I've kept 250 croakers in the rear bait well and 200 shrimp in the front with no problems whatsoever! I can assure you that if you ever need service on your boat, Mr. Leroy and his family will be there for you! I can't say the same for Champion as my brother has had problems with Addis Marine. The Gator Bays are built extremely well and I have not had any problems arise with mine. The Champion & Gator Bay are big long boats and my brother and I have added some cup to our props which really helps lift the boats. Personally I would go with the Gator Bay for a better price and you know Mr. Leroy will be there for you after the sale. Those people are great to do business with!! Good luck with your boat purchase.

Regards,
Capt. Bill

After 8 years of hard use this is the finest made boat I have ever owned, and I have owned them all in the last 35 years. Still the best riding and handling boat with the finest durability of them all.
