That's pretty good out of a 23hp. I'm looking at buying a rig from a guy this weekend with a 23hp and some mods but he's saying he averages about 20mph with 2 men and gear.

Had about 30min to run before the rain hit...completly empty with a brand new prop was running steady 25mph and bumped 26 a few times. We came to the conclusion that the bottom of the boat is the problem.

That is a bummer man. Hooking a boat is the worst.

I have a 35 gdsd on 1648 and it took me a while to get it dialed in. Load placement is very important. Trim tabs you dont need to bend to much. I get fastest mph when prop is almost trying to come out of water, then trim down a hair, pm me and we can see if we can figure it out

X2 - had about same speeds with GD 1648 and 35 GDSD - running a GD 1844 now
a bit slower but much better performance in mud with loads....
