 motor for a gatorhide
Just scooped up a 3 man gatorhide. Trying to decide on a power plant. Yall with this rig what engine are you running and what kind of speeds are you getting.

I was not being a smart ass, this time. I just get tired of seeing people fork up the English language.

 Re: motor for a gatorhide
I agree with the more power the better. I have a stage 1 36 PD and wish I had more. The short length and wide hull make it hard to push...kinda like a barge. I have some feedback from the "other site" that a 32'' out drive makes a big difference on that boat. I'm no FE and really don't understand that comment but maybe someone else here does.
