Thinking about getting a boat built and was wondering if anyone ran a 18/48 skiff all 3/16 or anything similar with a stock 36 Pro Drive? I was just wanting to know speeds loaded or unloaded and how it performs Thanks And yes i searched and couldnt find anything about it |

My boats no skiff, but it's 1748 all 3/16 with a stage 2 Prodrive and it runs 34 with just me, fuel and a 20qt yeti. I imagine a stock should push it 26 27 light loaded. |

So im guessing 24/25 range loaded?(boats going to mainly be used for crawfishing) |

All depends on your definition of a load. 100 sacks of crawfish and some traps is a hell of a load |

23-24mph is my guess on a stock PD with that load. It all goes back ta the boat and rake design on the hull. Just as important is how ya load it. |

Id go 20 ft if its gonna be used for crawfishing...and narrower...say around 44", run a 3/16 bottom and transom, but go with a crimped 1/8 side. |

Well i thought about 20/44 but that just seems a little too big for me but i will consider it. But i do need to boat to be all 3/16 because my old skiff i had a few years back had 1/8 sides and the got all messed up |

If you're getting a Gen 3 PD, it'll be tad slower with a light load but won't be as affected by a heavy load. |

So if i get a Gen 2 or 1 PD it will go faster? |

Not necessarily, the older ones have a higher gear ratio. On a lighter rig, it would/should have more top end, but when weight is added, it will bog the motor easier. The newer ones have a lower ratio and will pull like a tractor. They are also working on higher pitch props for the new ones to gain more speed. |

Oh so i would want the Gen 3 PD for this boat then since most of the time its going to be loaded. I got ya but i didnt know the gear ratio was different in em |

Yes, If it were me, I'd get the Gen 3 since you will have more the the normal load. |

The gen 3's are strong motors I run 29 empty and I'm all over the 4700 rev limiter. I need more prop to go faster. I can carry 4 men and gear in the mid 20's and still turn 4400-4500 Rpms. Really surprised me |

If i were to put a 3 blade prop would that make a difference in load carrying speeds? |

They come with a three blade |

Really? I thought they came with 2 blade like GT and then you can put a 3 blade. Well let me ask this,would it run better with a 2 blade? |

Yea i saw on the website that motors built after July 2013 all spline props are only available(which are the 3 blade). I also saw that Prodrive doesnt offer manual trim anymore its just hydro |
