 1748 GTB with 37EFI
I am thinking about buying a new boat only becasue I found a hell of a deal on one. It is a 1748 GTB with a hunt deck and open floor plan. It currently has a 25 GTR but I have spoken with a dealer and they will take it on a trade in and put a 37 EFI GTR on it for a good deal.
Just want some feed back on how that hull will perform with the 37. Will it have trouble with a load becasue its narrow? Will it squat bad? Any insight is helpful casue this will be my first square chine

 Re: 1748 GTB with 37EFI
It will be fine. It's not too narrow.

 Re: 1748 GTB with 37EFI
My 1848 with 37 sits pretty flat in the water. Can't imagine the 1' would make that much difference

 Re: 1748 GTB with 37EFI
Not sure how much weight difference there is between a 37 EFI and my old 31GT (no reverse) at 265#, but I have it mounted on an old 1648 - 70" beam three seat Jon boat and it doesn't have much squat to it. Gets on step pretty quick and handles well with decent speed for a stock carbed motor. My bottom is no where near perfect either. Haven't got to load it down yet, so I'm still looking to see how it takes on some weight. I think you'll be pleased with how it performs, tho.
