Curious to see with all these mods out there what your heaviest load was and what speed you were getting out of it.

I'm about to test it this weekend on my 1760 with a stock 35 MB
I'm likely going to have over 1000lbs in the boat. Not going to use the Big Blade - going to swap it for the 11x10 and see what speeds I get.

What you got?

I do kno my 1852 stock gtr last year opening day had 4guys 5dz deks dog an bags n shit an we was slow as a mofo seem to do around 24 25ish wit two guys light load

My old stage 2 PD 1754 would tote 1400 added pounds 27-28 maybe a little faster but would do that any day

I'm going to edit this based on replies below, I thought we were talking about average...not "that one time"

Mine as pictured here, genny, two batteries, dry box full of crap, with 4 people, , 2 6 gallon gas tanks, 2 coolers(drinks in one, 30+ fish on ice in the other), bowfishing gear, etc... held 30.2-30.7 for 8 miles one night back to the hill.

1746
2 guys
2 batteries
trolling motor
12 gallons of gas
few power tools
45 yeti full of ice/beer
13 bags of concrete(80 lbs each)
so well over 1000 lbs inside the boat

25-26ish mph

1754 gtb with 35 gtr stage 2
5 guys 4 batteries 48qt full of adult drinks 9 gallons of gas ran 30

5 man hunting load with a dog 24-25 MPH...see signature for boat and motor description.

I'm embarrassed to post up numbers I get out of my GDSD. Hell, some of y'all would smoke my boat with a 50 hp outboard on it.

stage 2

19'10x50" bottom ran 30 to camp

1748 (new hull before paint) ran 31

4 men and all our hunting shit for the weekend (icechest, food, clothes and hunting shit) 28-29

Hell I even ran 32 with a fuckin 7' sofa and table and chairs in my shit.

1436 with 16 gd LT: 3 people, 2 dogs, bag of decoys, battery, guns, blind bags, and 2 dog stands.. 4.8 mph gps verified.. Suck it bitches

Haha yea no kiddin. Had a buddy sitting on the decoys in front of me and I was using his shoulder as the grab bar. Grade A clusterfuck for sure. I think that problem will be solved soon though

My GTrax 1750 HD will run 29.7 avg. with a 3 man hunting load and 6 dozen decoys and all our junk. 45 mag with heads and carb.

More impressive to me was pulling a broken broken Gtrax rig out of Moon pond at SETX this year. Sitting on soft mud I stepped both boats and was able to run 23 mph till we hit tje ship channel.

18/54 pd 4 men 1 kid 1 dog 6 dozen deks guns shell buckets 18 gallons of fuel 31 mph going and coming from wax lake outlet worst speeds I see is 30 with a large load typical fishing load is 3 batteries 2 icechest 2 people 80 lb minkota poles and tackle it will get 32

1754 GTB stage 2 GTR. 3 men, 3 girls, 2 labs, 2 54qt coolers loaded about 75 jugs, 9 gal of gas , 2 trolling battery's and trolling motor holding 28 bumping 29 GPS verified. Deep water

18x44 gator trax, stock mudbuddy 35 HD, loaded ice chest, 2 batteries, trolling motor, 9 gallons fuel and 4 people 175 lbs each ran 23 mph

18/48 sportsman with stock gen 3 prodrive 3 men 2 kids 120qt yeti full of fish and all our tackle and poles 24.8-25.3 I wast satisfied

Buzz,
One thing to consider. My 19'10x50 would haul mor shit than my 1748. Bottom width, hull weight have a lot to do with it also. A 60" bottom should tote a load and hardly draft any water.

Also Buzz, with the same load I listed above, my boat wouldn't even get on plane with the stock motor, that was the reason I modded it. We went bow fishing one night and it wouldn't do anything but push a wall of water... take one person out and it would go from 11mph to 21mph... after mods, it'll tote whatever you put in it.

Lol you guys have some serious speeds with those loads.

My stock 35 - im too lazy to change my prop to the 11x10 so I am curious to see what my BB does with that load.
Me at 195, 1 friend at 340lbs, 1 friend at 200 lbs, 1 at 220, and a lovely lady at less than 130 =) and her son at 50lbs...plus 9 gal of gas and 2 coolers 1 x 90,1 x 60 full of ice and beers - for the bbq - what will my 1760 get?
I say slooooooooooooow =)

that is quite the load Buzz – better pack a couple Snickers bars for that boat ride

I run 28ish with 3 men and a dog + all our hunting gear

I smell a lot of bullshit on this thread

Make sure you consider him as two when planning for food.

My stage 2 gtr on 1846 gtb with 4 ppl, 2 batteries, 12 gal of fuel and 60 qt k2 ice chest loaded down held steady 29 with a 11 1/2 in prop

1646 25GTR 3 people 210, 180, 350, 18 goose floaters, 2 dozen ducks deks, 9 gal of fuel, boat blind (heavy), 14 greater Canada geese (10lbs average a piece. --- 13-14mph
