Im thinking about buying a 1748 X series tall transom tall sides and putting my 36 PD on it. I was hoping for a 1848 but I waited to long.

Anyone running this setup who can tell me how it will perform.

Im in Longview texas so I mainly run stumps and veggies.

I gotta make a desision soon, any info would be nice.

Got a buddy in Marshall running a 1748 pd, tall transom, short sides...Its a good package. Only time I've really ridden in it, we were running right around 20 with 3 big boys and 2 girls, stereo cooler, and a big cooler full of ice and beer. We were running around 23-24 with just the 3 guys and coolers. Has a brand new 36 cdi on it.

Whats the rush?

I wouldn't let any sale or whatever determine what rig I bought!!!

thanks for the input cb...

in a hurry because its almost duck season and i aint gonna miss a second

I run a 1748 with the 36. I have the short transom and short sides. It handles good and had decint top end speed. I don't have any mods on it and i would estimate my speeds around 22-25 with a hunting load. If it were me an i could do it over agin i would go tall sides and tall transom. 3inches don't seem like alot till you run sum biger waves Just my opinion. its a great combo well worth the money. don't rush though get what you want and do it right the first time

I have a 17x56 w/ 36PD and it is perfect for what I use it for. I haven't had it long and I haven't had a GPS in it but last weekend and with 2 guys, 6 gal of gas, a 75lb lab it will run 23mph, all stock.

I love the boat and wouldn't hesitate to own a 48 instead of the 56 but if I had my druthers I would probably get the 56 again.

Im in Marshall and I have the combo you're asking about. Tall transom, short sides. Shoot me a pm and maybe we can meet up if you want to see how it handles.

i am in tyler and have a 1848 with a 36FPR and love it. it has tall transom with short sides and works perfect.

I went out on a demo on the boat and was sold. Bought the boat and I headed out to Caddo on Sunday.
