 What to expect from 1654 gator trax an 37 EFI Gator Tail
So I'm looking at buying a 2015 1654 gator trax with hunt deck from this guy near me an the motor is a gator tail same year. Never been on or used a gator tail motor an was wondering how much one should cost with 40 hours on it. How are they speed wise/ carrying a load. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Made sure the prop was just below the water an level an let it eat! This is my first rig but from 3800-3900 rpm was my best speeds but yesterday was some 20 mph+ winds an I ran on the calm side but wind somewhat at my back so maybe that affected it? Going to change all the oil an grease today an really go through it an run tonight.

Your rpm's seem pretty low for the 37 EFI.[/quote]
What rpm's would you expect cause like I said its my first rig an still playing with this motor an boat.

These are surface drives. Those props are made to be run at the Surface. Half in the water, half out the water.
You will see better rpms, and speed

 Re: What to expect from 1654 gator trax an 37 EFI Gator Tail
Yeah ran boat last night and ran prop half out an was running about 4300-4400 (you guys were right). Could feel motor running right an whole boat seemed faster. All this is a large learning curve since Ive ran outboards my whole life constantly getting stuck an now its pretty much just hammer down. Learned a bunch just from this topic alone!

How did it run with two guys? I am looking at the same motor on a 1648 gatortail hull with a hunt deck
