Post GTR Makeover
I just recently purchased a gator tail on a 16x54 gator tail hull. Stripped the boat and motor down for repaint and repainted the motor with a gloss black (because black gator tails matter too) and the boat dead grass green with some camo work done a the bottom with a cattail stencil. Loving the boat and how it is performing, it was a big step up from a 23 hp go devil long tail on a 14x36 Jon boat lol. The motor is stage 1 with .20 decking on the heads and stainless such and etc. with a 280 ish cam and bigger jets in the stock carb. All I need left to do is get a new light bar, clean up the wiring job, put hydroturf and she'll be almost good as new and ready to roll.

Speeds shallow: 30.7-31.2, 2 people, ice chest, battery, 12 gallon fuel tank
Speeds deep water: 28.9-29.6 same load as above

Really satisfied with the performance of the motor for just stage 1, thinking about adding a minuki carb in the near future just for great throttle response... And to brag and gloat my motor is stage 2 to my friends mad they are still stock. Prop starting to get worn down also so looking to maybe getting into the custom prop game also.

No clue Kirt on the jets that they rejetted with, I just know that the carb puts out decent and seems very balanced in a way
