What kind of speeds should I expect out of a 1754 36 hp '07 PD rig? Also what king of RPMs should I be running?

CDMCHEVY is running the same rig except its a '12. He's running 29 solo. You should expect about the same if the prop is good and the valves aren't leaking which is likely.

Set OOW rpm to 4300 and you should turn around 4000 if it's stock

search feature or google search it.......

get a valve job or just do a stage 1 mod an you would see a whole lot more bottom end and load carrying capaicty

X2 on the stage 1

how many hours on the motor?

I have 84 hours on the motor... it is bone stock. Does anyone know the closet place to Northeast Texas that does reliable Stage 1 work? Also I am spinning around 3900 in the water right now... I havent ran the boat empty yet but with 3 people this past weekend I was running around 20 mph but seems to not have much hole shot... i am going to order new prop from PD but what would be the best size and pitch for top end speed?

Where at in NE Texas?

I had 3 people and a 35qt yeti full of beer a few weekends ago and was runnin a steady 24 bumping 25 in the rice fields. Stock 36pd on 1754

I live in Henderson bout 20 miles from Tyler

Don't know anyone in that area, but Gary (deadbird8) may be able to help you out. He's over here in the dallas area. Or I think there is a guy in longview. Think his name is Mike. PM tylerduckman, I think he has the guy in Longview's info.

Turned my RPMs to 4300 OOW and ordered a new prop I believe that will boost my MPH up pretty good... My current prop is at 11 1/2" so it was worn bad... Should I be expecting 27-29 mph now?

With a brand new Pro-Drive 36 with 7 hours i was avg about 26-27 with people 2 people in the boat, and about 29-31 solo on my 17/54,.

I have a 2013 1754 with a 36 on it. With me, a 24 volt trolling motor and battery, a yeti cooler I run 27 mph. In shallow water with me, and a cooler in front I can hit 28-29. 30-31 stock is not really possible...

I can honestly say I've bumped 30 for Half a second with an empty boat wind to my back and runnin with the current! Haha somethin bout that 30mph mark it just dont wanna run it

It's the round one. Not a round chine but you know what I mean

depends on how narrow the hull is. my 40" turns great because i can lean on it......in shallow water, nothing bites to turn.

Pretty fun if you ask me. Til it starts hoppin and you start spillin your beer

yea once it starts hoopin that ain't no good. I hate a lap full of beer....
