The return of Rail. how ya doing man?

Hey Greg- haven't seen you post in a while.
If you've been gone... well, you didn't miss anything.

anybody know what a 1754 gt with a MB 6000hd should run trying to figure if i have problems.

iv never ran 33 no matter what i get max mph at 4500 rpm when i should be getting max at 4900 i average about 28

how high can you trim up under full power?

Deadbird, wheres the pic?

till the prop shaft is just under the water

thats what i thouht to going to have it looked at, but just thought i would before i dumped $ into it

So you are surface driving the prop?

At WFO , the prop is half out out of the water?

Maybe I missed it but Is the rig new or used ? What condition is the prop?

the prop is out of the Water, the hex nut that holds in on is just under water level thats were i get best MPH any higher and i get high RPMs and back fire on motor.

new rig got it in Jan09 motor has 16 hrs on it prop is mint, i did all Factory recomendation services and setups,

I got 4500RPM from my HD35 with headwork and stock carb on an Excel.

Do you have a straight transom to the bottom of the boat or is there a bevel in it?

I dont know what the deal is with the setup. here is a pic i took the poling platform off it just got in the way when trying to steer

stright transom

Looks like your 4 sale sign fell off. lol

haha that was from my old boat that i replaced with my GT

You have alot of boat there, are those deep water speeds?

From what Ive seen theres not much to gain after 4500 rpm

What does your prop measure? I think it should be 12-12.25".

i have a 12-12.25" prop and ya thats mainly deep water, the only reason i think i have a problem is my friend has the same motor on a 21 foot GT that is 64" wide with remote steer and we run the same speed, amd RPM. i figured i would run a lil faster that barge he is driving.

He's in Huntsville looks like, due north of Houston-

Call Rick...he will definitely walk you through what you need to check and try to trouble shoot over the phone

Thanks anyone have a number or a buisness i can look up

i was thinking of rebuilding and going with iron mtn heads and 34mm carbs since im going to the shop anyway. any body know about coastal backwater in santa fe texas thats who MB suggested

1754 Gator Trax with hunt deck is 18'10" overall. I have run both 1854 (owned one) and 2054 GT boats with stock 35 Hypers and have gotten 24ish with one man...25ish on a really good day. This is in deep water at 2500' elevation.

I have a buddy running an 1854 Gatortrax boat with a slightly modded motor (carb, heads and exhaust but no internal mods) and he is getting 27.

I think there is definitely something wrong with a 6000 on that boat only turning in high 20s speeds.

ps - your boat looks like a pretty heavy sob with all those boxes built in.

i stripped it down just has two gun boxes and two rear half boxes, the rest of the shit i took out. its pretty wide open.

HW marine Marshall texas, Just to far to drive and they said Coastal Backwater in Santa fe Tx would be the bes and the closest.

They are down the road from me. Make sure you let em no it comin cause I hear the mudbuddy guy is hard to catch.

Damn double post

Don't do any business with H&W....nothing but Triton selling morons in that place....at least the one in Tyler.

didnt even call them, MudBuddy told me that if it was over 6months than they would be no help. MB must not thank to highly of them either. A buddy of mine just picked up a 35mb form HW and has had it a week and we is already having problems with the way they set it up. MB told him not to deal with them any more just call them and they will take care of it no charge.
