Post Backwater 35hp swomp
Just picked up a 1648 tracker grizzly and want to also pick up a 35hp SWOMP motor. Anyone out there running the same combo, if so how do u like it and what kinda speeds are u getting? Also will adding pods have any benefits? Thanks guys

Well how do you like it? I've got the same boat and am looking at the same motor. How big a difference do the pods make?

Shame! I was hoping for a report since I have the same hull, but short transom, and definitely want a 35SS swomp. The PD or any surface drive is generally counterproductive here where it is shallow and hard bottom. So, how does the PD fare on the Grizzly?

Great speed with that load! I would have done the same if the conditions were like that here; lean toward the Gatortail design...even if it meant some creative financing! The ugly beauty of the longtail is its simplicity, reliability, and affordability (including long-term maintenance).
