I finally got my gtr in after a 8 week wait. Mounted it on the boat and got it painted in a day. Just got a chance to take it out today. It's on a 1644 godevil with a .125 bottom. I got 26 mph with the ol lady and dad in the boat. Couldn't be happier

Just in time for the season.

Yep. Gunna run it around here, and in Venice this year

Nice

First time I've seen the new look! Man that thing is sick! Congrats! I've gotta get one when I upgrade.

I love it. Goin from a 23 long tail to this is ridiculous. I'm addicted

U will definitely enjoy it

Congrats on the new motor. Hit me up if you want to ride sometime. I'm across the bay in Spanish Fort.

Aight I'll get up with you one weekend. You ever ride around fowl river?

looks real good - I like your engine hoist, darn things are heavy and kind a awkward off the boat aren't they?

I'm interested in if you centerline mounted it, how did it perform - experience any tiller torque?

Nice looking motor congrats!

Here is my number 504-1BIG TOW. Give me a heads up on when yall go ride, I'll come pull yall out! lol

did you weld in that piece to make the boat a taller transom?

is that one of thier surface drive boats or is that the longtail boat ?

Long tail boat

Alright I'm idling at 1300 rpm in neutral out of the water, and wot out of water is 4800.... That's a little high right?

a little - but how accurate do you think these tiny-tachs really are? My rev limiters on my 2015 GTR start kicking in at about 4700-4730,.

i would run it in the water before changing anything.

what is the manufacture date of your engine?

Coot those rpms sound right, maybe bump your idle down to 1100-1200.

Your idle is right, had similar concerns with my 2015, talked with Hoyt & 1300-1350 idle and 4600-4650 WOT out of water. Surprised yours is reading 4800. Also keep an eye on your hour meter, mine seems to be tracking faster, usually when running for short periods and shutting down then starting back up

Hoyt also said those new tachs are very accurate at reading RPMs, which is the reason they are using them now, not sure what brand they are but don't appear to be tiny tach

.

buddy had same boat with stock gtr he was running 28-29 with a stage 2 he was around 32-33 but he had short transom motor on his now he has switched to a 16x60 surface drive godevil boat with tall transom motor stage 2 still around same speeds maybe a little more just know he lost handling when he switched from the rounded chime

That's one thing I like about this hull. Cornering is awesome

yea he is regreting his decision on getting the new hull his old hull had same setup as yours with solid storage across

The only problem I have with mine is the porpoising. But a extra battery and cooler in the front fix that

have you pulled the foam out the floor ? and you have gastank up front ?

Congrats man!
