 running stumps/logs I do alot of hunting down small rivers/creeks & have a 1644 gator trax. There full of stumps & logs, my ? is between the gator tail & prodrive motor what one would perform better in them conditions? I know there both good motors & not trying to start no smack talk between the two. Also some of you are going to tell me to go test drive them both but around here no one has them & if they did dont think they would take me stump jumping anyway. Thanks for any advise.

Re: running stumps/logs To my experience they both perform the same in the conditions you have described, granted i am a gator-tail fan through and through i think as far as durability the pro-drive lower unit is said to hold up better in your situation.

Re: running stumps/logs I run a stump infested lake and didnt have a single problem out of my pro-drive this season a pic of where i hunt...the lake was drawn down this year, usually all these stumps are lurking just below the surface of the water. and thats not even the bad part of the lake

Re: running stumps/logs Both will perform great and both can handle da abuse. Only advantage I see is GT has a floatin handle dat don't beat da shit out of you if you not watchin out for it.
