 Performance of a 27hp SD on a 18x48?
I'm debating on a 35hp Go-Devil SD or a 27hp GD SD to put on a 1848 boat. Obviously I want the 35hp because it's a bigger motor, but the 27hp is $1k less. Speed is the least of my concerns - the most important thing to me is not getting stuck.
Has anyone had a 27hp SD on this size boat and had issues of getting stuck often with it? How much difference would the 35hp have in this regard?
I'd be using it in very thick marsh grass and wild rice with a few cattails and lily pads thrown into the mix. 95% of the time there would be at least a foot of water with a few feet of muck underneath.

Get the 35, I went with the 27 before the 35 and I just wasted money going that route

Do not, do not get the 27. Penny smart but dollar stupid. The load carrying and. bottom end of 35 is night and day from the 27 and 23. I have a 23, love it when I'm by myself but it doesn't tote a load. Save somewhere else, that 35 is a must on that.

But I am interested to see the numbers on the 27 on 18x48.

I have a 27 prodrive on a 17x44 "Uncle J" and it runs 23.5 with me and 6 gallons of gas in deep water

I have run a 1748 with a 27 mini and runs 23 alone... It drops off quick with a load though... I wish I would have went bigger on the motor or smaller on the boat
