I know i did one already but i cant help myself. They say whiskey gets good from age. Well i think the same applys from my rig.


MM Brand: Gatortail
Horsepower: 35 hp
Boat Brand: home made. 16" huntdeck, 3" catwalks all 1/8th except tansom/ hd. 4' extended deck.
Boat Size: 18' long 48" wide on the bottom with a 65 1/2" beam

Ive been runnin the boat more and more, as much as i can everyday for the past month. Got about 30 hrs on it. It started off with a stock 2 blade. My speeds were 26-30. I went to a 3 blade and went from 28-30. Went back to a 2 blade and its where i need to be.
All speeds are with about the same load consisting of: me (200) cousin (220). 12 gallons of fuel. 2 batterys. Tool box. All safety gear.
Went run lake beouf and had cody and chaz do a lil tinkering with my springs because i was throwin 3600rpm. Wasnt getting full potential. After they messed with it and i added the marshmellow i can throw and hold 4150 loaded down or not. Played with the pin a little bit but she likes the second hole.

Shallow water speeds--- anywhere from 8"-2'. Speeds consistantly 29-31
Deep water speeds-------- anywhere from 7-10'. Speeds consistantly 27-30

Went fishing last weekend in some deeper water 6-12' regular load with me, cousin, my wife and his wife. Plus all fishing gear 40 qt icechest and bowfishing equipment. Steady at 26 mph. Finished business. The 48" bottom can tote a load IMO. This is a completly stock motor except for exhaust. And i am deffinatly happy with it. Thank you for all the help from everybody here on MMT!!!

Good second review.
