Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Thoughts compared to the prior "2016-17" model?

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Friend of mine has one. IMO it's 100 times better, only thing I'm not a fan of is the way they made the prop shaft.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
It's made to where props aren't interchangeable anymore. It seems like you have to run gatortail's wheel.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Lol. Not a surprise. Having options for props is a terrible thing for mudmotors...<_<

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Maybe someone will come up with a spacer or washer to make it interchangeable. Like you can with a Mercury and Yamaha.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
I just watched the video and visited the site. I like it. I'm going to put a deposit down.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Buddy of mine just got a cc rig with an XD. Going to run it this weekend. Doubt you can tell much other than lower unit.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
I'm confused now! Can you or not use the same props from older models. If not that is a major game changer, and would lean highly towards a new EFI MudBuddy.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Guess my upgrade will be a Mudbuddy, not going have to go out and buy more extra props.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Looks almost just like the old machined lowers. Different reverse plate.

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
They're bound and damn determined to get those holes in the reverse plate

Re: Anybody running a GTR-XD yet?
Good to see they went back to the old style outdrive. Did they upgrade the clutch cover to AL?
