 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
Oh how I want one!!! I need that load carrying, get up and go throttle response. I am content doing 25 mph in my boat. Just need the extra oomph to get it on a step so I can...without having to go find shallow water somewhere!

 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
KP at Prodrive told me that they were getting 28.5-29 out of the new lower unit on a 1748 PD hull and with the EFI they were getting 31-32 and bumping 33 on the same boat. He also said the throttle response and extra power of the EFI was the equivalent to their stage 2 mod kit. I can't wait to get mine I'm ordering on this week with the EFI if everything works out right.

 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
Das cool,,,not saying it aint true. But looks like it physically impossible on this boat before being on limiter. I will know soon, but looks like the best this boat will do is ~30mph at 4700. That's if it does that. Like I said, I don't fudge the numbers and it was doing 27 on 2 gps's at 4500rpm.
Most impressive was the power though...it jumps out the hole! You can tell it will carry a load very good and that's what they were after.

 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
More power, trim down farther to get more bite and stay under 4700. Thats how mine is running now.

 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
Load carrying is what I want. I'm not worried as much what it will run empty since I hardly ever run it empty

 Re: New 3G Prodrive....
I've had several previous generation PD 36's. This thread has me looking forward to taking delivery of my new rig. Should be ready in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the info.
