 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? What speeds can I expect for a 25efi Kohler SS Swomp from Backwater on a 16/44 guide edition Gatortrax with a 16" transom? Looking at max 2 people, 2 pirogues and hunting gear. normally one person, gear, and one pirogue. Also, which engine is more readily (price??) modded a 25efi Kohler or a 23 Vanguard? Any ideas or opinions are appreciated.

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? 23 to 25. You will see 30+ with the 35/37, but you need to build the transom up to 21". Your gonna sink your boat with that 16". Just sold the same boat, but had the 35 gtr.

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? 23 to 25 with a long tail would be great.

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? You'll not see those speeds with a longtail. Figure on about 18 with normal load, 15 with the pair.

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? 10-4, Russ! Those upper numbers on Frank's 35 SS but no way on the 25 HP! I believe those numbers are more realistic for a shortail. I would love 20 mph with two hunters and gear, I get 17.5 right now with my 27 HP. And the 35 will not sink a short transom GT 1644 unless you are hell bent on doing that sort of thing!

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? With the old 24 hp honda, those are approximate speeds we got with a 1546, and a hair faster than we were able to get on a 1652 (that weighs a ton lol)

Re: 25EFI SS Backwater SWOMP on Gatortrax 16/44 ?? Great boat for the size longtail you are considering. Should work fine
