Post Pd Gen3-Gen4 LU SWAP
2015 37 efi (briggs) stock
17x54 PD double tapered chine(empty boat)
2-6 gal fuel tanks full
Open water approx. 8ft deep on lake w/o wind.
175 lb captain
Sorry for the late post, but I did do the swap. Took it to the lake once so far and I saw almost no gain in top speed, getting there though the Gen 4 was way faster than the Gen 3 feels like alot more torgue/ass behind it, at least felt that way to me. A negative I gained alot more vibration and noise from the Gen 4, more than I was use to with the Gen 3. Kind of disappointed in the speed was looking for a bigger gain, but It's made for how fast the hole shot now is feels like i can get a heavier load up. Also I might add from half throttle to full you really feel the top end difference. Top speed out of the gen 4 was 27 with 2 people at about 4200rpm. I have no shallow speeds or heavier load speeds at the moment. IMO if your looking for that 30 MPH it isn't gunna happen from just the swap.

Gen 3 was 26, I'm not going to say no its not worth it, but if your going for that 29-30 mark your going to have to do more than just a swap.

I'm still cranking the gen 1. Prob should upgrade the lower sometime sooner than later. Was trying to talk my buddy Into a gen4 over his gen2 so I could buy it off him but Prodrive said with his engine mods the gain would be minimal and not worth the cost of the gen4 lower

What was the extra vibration from, did you go from a 3 blade prop to the 2 blade?

Most people are reporting 2 MPH gains with it from what I read
