I run a pd and I love it. My next one will be a gtr simply because I have never owned one and I like them. If I run it for a year or so and still prefer the pd, I will sell it and get another pd. It's hard to know ford is Better/worst if all you have ever owned is Chevy kind of thing.

This is not an alternator. It does not kick on and off. When the motor is running, the charging system is working. It does not care about the load you put on the battery. It works as hard as its going to work either way.

Anyone that would eat a possible state record triple tail without verifying first should not try to argue with a motorhead about horsepower.

I'm not arguing how much of a difference it makes in speed. I came in when we started talking about charging systems. :lol:

Idle issue- shitty heads/valves
Cdi- put out the same regardless of whether anything is attached. Running your car, no electronics running, then Turn everything on at once and you will hear the diffence. Run a cdi at idle and hook 10 sealed beams and you will NOT hear the difference. It is putting out the maximum it can put out all the time. The reason you don't hear the diffence because it is always putting out the same amps. there is no change meaning the strain you hear in your car, is always on the marine engine

Post Re: Pro Drive vs Gator Tail
Speed is relevant to gear ratio and angle of thrust. The only reason that a vertical has 36 hp and a horizontal has 35 hp is because of the intake design. Vertical engines have a less restrictive fuel flow to combustion chamber making it therefore more efficient.

Post Re: Pro Drive vs Gator Tail
Coach is speed is that big of an issue get a gtr but I live in thibodaux and will give you my number for when you get stuck :D
But seriously, test drive a gtr that instant reverse is nice and they walk the dog on a pd in the mud. My father always told me "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" my response " if it ain't broke, it can always run better"

A GTR IS FASTER THAN A PRODRIVE. end of story. Gear ratio + more parallel thrust= speed. Gtr has both over pd.
