| Post subject: | PD 36 on a Alweld? |
Anyone running a PD or other mud motor on an Alweld? What kind of speeds can I expect on a 1852? Any advise on what would be the "best" non-mud motor boat (Alumacraft, Lowe, etc). I'd love to get a boat specifically made to go with the motor, but they are pretty much nonexistent in my neck of the woods. |

I have a 36pd on a 16/48 weld-craft. I looked at all the hulls around the area and found that the weld-craft was the most solid hull i could find. It has been holding up for a couple of years now, and the only problem that i have is a few minor dents in the bottom. However, the transom thickness was a slight problem, it is 2 3/8" thick. Had to shim out the trim motor to get the engine on the boat.. All in all, the boat handles well and i see really good speeds out of the boat in deep water as well as on the mud.. |

I had 32 PD on 1650 express. I got about 25 mph with 2 people, and light gear. If I put 3 people in the boat then it wouldn't plane out. It would draw a huge wake, and would not go in very shallow water. I had the motor on the boat for about 3 years, and last year all of the welds on the top of the transom cracked. Express fixed the welds for free. I have sold that boat and going with a prodrive boat this time. If I wasn't going to carry much weight, then I would have probably stuck with the express longer. |

Thanks for the info guys. I'll look into how much it would cost for shipping a boat, but I'm in AK so I'm guessing it would be a few bucks. I hate the idea of blowing nearly 4K on a boat I really dont want |
