 Re: Gtr vs pd
J,,,let's see if we can straiten this out...
Me sour,,nah! Pd is a good company and builds a good product! So do many others!!!
Let's clear some things up. U got Efi as we all know! So let's see why?
1. Better starting? Hmmm...ok u win! I agree it starts better! But who would pay that much for better starting??? Hmmmm. Just don't add up... 2. Throttle response? So u paid 1900 for a little throttle response on a Briggs center console! Where the throttle response is Hardly ever noticed! 3. Fuel economy? Hmmmm...I can fill a lot of 6 gal tanks for that much!!! Stu has a dog in this fight... 4. Power? Ok,,,since these engines run usually a or near full power most of the time! How much did you gain??? 5hp? So that's 1900 for 5hp? Did I get that right???
Look J, no offense but the way I see it! Unless the price installed is about 12-1300 at best it's a dumb move! Like I said, warranty ain't worth shit in a boat! Usually when u need a warranty, your day or weekend is already fucked!!! Or u spending the night in a swamp wit da skeeters!! I wouldn't feel to much better knowing it will be fixed if and when I get home!
To put it simply, I can just about buy a whole Nother engine for what u pay for ur throttle response and warranty!!
Im pretty sure u coulda got one of the sponsors like Calen to give ya a warranty if that makes u feel better....
JMO!

 Re: Gtr vs pd
No offense taken. I'd give you the shirt off my back, Todd. But... Care to answer any of my first 4 questions? What about your data sources?

 Re: Gtr vs pd
They do warranty tchauvin. I know for a fact Calen does. I'm pretty sure Hoyt does also. They do the work they warranty it. Just ask Gameover, he's used his warranty extensively lately.

 Re: Gtr vs pd
I'm not getting into the warranty thing, but I know the efi does not void my 3 year Briggs warranty. Calen and gt warranty modded motors out of the kindness of their heart, and that is awesome of them, but not per Briggs. I'm done,,, I don't care lol

 Re: Gtr vs pd
17x52 is a hard size to beat. I really think this is one of the best running sizes available. I think the 54" bottom is a little to wide and the 48" bottom is a little to narrow.

 Re: Gtr vs pd
Do you ins if it slides? If not go square. If you want a little turning ability go with single tapper.

 Re: Gtr vs pd
Mines square, gotten use to slidin. I think mine does way better in mud than a narrower hull.
