Post Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Thoughts compared to the prior "2016-17" model?

Friend of mine has one. IMO it's 100 times better, only thing I'm not a fan of is the way they made the prop shaft.

It's made to where props aren't interchangeable anymore. It seems like you have to run gatortail's wheel.

Lol. Not a surprise. Having options for props is a terrible thing for mudmotors...<_<

Maybe someone will come up with a spacer or washer to make it interchangeable. Like you can with a Mercury and Yamaha.

I just watched the video and visited the site. I like it. I'm going to put a deposit down.

Buddy of mine just got a cc rig with an XD. Going to run it this weekend. Doubt you can tell much other than lower unit.

I'm confused now! Can you or not use the same props from older models. If not that is a major game changer, and would lean highly towards a new EFI MudBuddy.

Guess my upgrade will be a Mudbuddy, not going have to go out and buy more extra props.

Looks almost just like the old machined lowers. Different reverse plate.

Good to see they went back to the old style outdrive. Did they upgrade the clutch cover to AL?
