The Predator 1448 balances strength, weight, and real-world functionality in a compact footprint that performs where it counts. Each specification works together to create a stable, durable, and efficient platform built for tight water, shifting loads, and long days on the water.

The layout maximizes usable space, keeps weight in check, and delivers the structural integrity serious hunters expect from a GatorTail rig.
This is the surface drive that changed the game for small rigs. The GTR23M brings true GatorTail performance to boats rated for 25hp, giving hunters a lightweight option that doesn’t sacrifice torque, durability, or control. Powered by a 23hp EFI Vanguard, it meets horsepower restricted requirements while delivering the same rigid reliability that built our name.
What sets it apart is simple, it’s a compact surface drive with reverse. Equipped with manual multi-position trim, quick draw adjustment, and our battle tested free floating tiller handle, it gives you precise control when space gets tight and water gets unpredictable. It carries the DNA of our flagship GTR 40XD, built into a surface drive engineered specifically for smaller vessels that demand less weight and serious capability.
The Predator 1448 paired with the 23M is proof that small does not mean limited. This is a compact, rugged Package 14 built to work hard and go where others can’t.
