2020 40HDREFI on a 1860 F4 - Is it ENOUGH POWER?
Looking at a 2020 40HDREFI for a 1860 F4. Will this have enough power to move it around with a full boat??? Just worried I will have to put a mod kit on it as i will be disappointed with power.
Serious responses only please...

Yes. A lot of ways to interpret that, though, based on your actual expectations. What's your definition of a full boat. Mine might be different. What's your definition of "move it around"? You want a serious response but you don't actually define your expectations for anyone to accurately answer. Help me... help you.

I want it to go 22mph+ with 3 guys and a load of decoy. I dont want to struggle to plain out in the marsh.

That should be enough. No guarantees, but it should have enough umph to do that.

You should be fine. Just for comparison I run a bone stock 35 hp Mudbuddy with over 500 hours on a Gatortrax 1750 and can run 22-23 with a 3man load and dog all day long. Original motor, heads, and all except for muffler, on my third muffler currently.

I have a 1754 Gtrax hunt deck (18'8"X~56) with a bone stock GTR35 and I hunt with 3 guys, lab, decoys and easily get those speeds

A load carrying prop will definitely help. But those speeds are likely attainable with that load/setup
