Post 40 GDSD FNR
I went test drive one during the week and ended up ordering one this morning. Anyone have any experience with it?

You getting electric trim or manual? I’m thinking about getting one myself.

It's not the horsepower, everyone thinks 3 more hp than the 37 can't be much. The profile of the cam adds a lot more torque. Where the 35-37 peaks hp and starts to flatten out, the 40 is still climbing. The hp is rated at 3600rpm. I don't know the true hp but it's probably close to 50 when you're at 4800-4900rpm. It's a much bigger jump than just 3 hp.

It was put on a dyno without an exhaust and popped 47 hp. With a stock exhaust it would prob be somewhere around 42, I'm guessing. Dont remember the rpms, but I dont think it was as high as 4900.

I've been having stage 1's for years and it wasnt that much less power. Alot better throttle response.

Best part is power is in mid-range not just top end...

FNR frame is pretty cool too...

I've been with gtr since 2011, once I seen how well built the GDSD FNR is I knew I had to switch over. Its built 100 times better. I haven't seen how they perform in the veggies in south la but I'll find out soon

It has no power in mud or veggies. Reverse is good only in open water,
Doesnt run worth a shit with a load.

It drives amazing though. Like a outboard.
It's on a 1648 prodrive hull

Now that you’ve had it a while what do you think ?
How strong is the reverse? I have a 18x48 GD surface drive hull with a Prodrive and I’m thinking of going with the 40 FNR. I live near Warren so service is real convenient. I like the power of the 40 and throttle response of EFI. I have an older stage 2 PD carb and I’m ready for something new .
