Anyone put a Gatortail on a pd hull? I heard the transom angle of the PD is different than the GT boats. If I decided to put a GT on my 1854 Pd, would I lose performance due to transom angle? |

If it is a short transom boat and let them raise the transom, maybe they can change the angle. I think they changed it on my GD hull when they raised it. |

There are wedges made for changing the transom angle. They have been used for years on bass rigs to help out on the hole shot. Theirs a sponsor on here that I bet can make you some if you can't find them. |

I suspect you will be able to trim higher but perhaps not low enough. I imagine the gt guys would know. I have a pd on a gt hull and have had several pd hulls with pd motors. I can trim further down on the gt hull. not as far up. I have the full range needed and it works great just doesn't trim as high as when I had a pd hull. I had a manual pd on this hull and it did not trim high enough. It didn't have reverse either. it was a good excuse to order a new 36 with trim and reverse. ****The manual trim situation could have been corrected with shims and/or a bigger roller on the pd. After running several with trim and reverse I hated not having either and jumped at the chance to sell it after a few hours of use. |

I got a boat with what i think is a 15* Tansom angle and i have a Gator Tail. It runs great. I just cant trim down as far as a GT boat with a 20* transom. |
