Alright guys,
I've had a 24hp drake surface drive on my boat since November. At the time it was on a 1542 weldbilt that was hooked in between every rib. Got rid of it and had Extreme metal fab build me a 16x48 with a huntdeck. The DSD has been great when everything's working right. I ditched the lifan for a 22hp pred which nearly doubled my speed with a 10" prop. Trying to work a buy back on the lifan since its had fuel issues since day one. To date it it's on its 2nd engine, 2nd prop shaft, 2nd belt, and both sides of the belt housing has welds crack. Plan right now is to get it back to square one and sell it.

Ordered a BW 40 this week. Every excited. I should see the same speeds or better than what I'm getting now. Does the 40 come with an electric fuel pump and battery cables?

I'm active, so I bounce around every couple years. Originally from northern WI but currently in NC.

This is an issue I thought of earlier today. 16" transom and sides are around 21". The hunt deck is 20". I'm taking my boat a welder next week to repair a cracked weld on my SD and to weld up the holes in my transom from the bolts. I think I'm going to run into issues running the longtail due to the difference in heights between the transom and false transom. Should I just have the welder build my transom up to 20?

Can you have them build a short shaft ? I had the build mine down short for 100

Ran my new 40 for the first time today. In heavy chop (12-16 inch waves)with just me in the boat I was holding 26 mph in a 754 war eagle. Couldn’t find any shallow water with all of the rain we’ve had.

I'd be very happy with those speeds.

There may have been some confusion about what I needed to do to my boat. I think theres a possibility that I wont be able to pop the motor out of the water very far due to the height of my transom (16") and my false transom (21"). I called Jake at BW and he said I'm on the right track but I should wait until I install the motor before modifying my boat, which is the plan. The hunt deck is 20" but extract measurement is right around 18". Those were just rough lines and 45 degree angles in the marks I drew out but I'm going to match the angles of the hull on the transom cut IF I need to do it. Engines paid for just waiting on a tracking number at this point.

New prop shaft is getting milled along with a new locking collar for the prop. The SD has been a headache since I got it.

Excuse the crap photo quality. New phone case is in the mail. Got the motor mounted up last weekend and it went to the welder on Tuesday. Lesson learned, dont tell someone you arent in a rush. Still waiting for a text saying it's done.

Hoping everything works out well! Don't often see a longtail on a hunt deck...

I'll snatch some pictures in a little bit but the notch worked great. Took the boat out on a local pond this morning, its covered in stumps but the 300 yard clear stretch let me do a few laps at various rpms. I got up to 27mph. Diggin it so far.
