GATOR FLOATS are quick onto the step, and fast out of the water! While other floats have a 'Plowing Stage', the revolutionary stair-step design of GATOR FLOATS virtually eliminates this, allowing for takeoff in under 10 seconds!
Extremely durable construction using lightweight, space-age materials allow our floats to be much lighter than comparable floats, and much stronger, too! Don't make a $10,000 mistake! Trust GATOR! |
