OK I have a 1754 g3 with a 27 hp kohler its a pro-drive with 130 hr on it and I need a lot more power. just me in the boat it does fine. I have not gps it but I think im doing around 25 mph but when I put any weight in the boat it falls on its face just with one guy and a dog and decoy it will olny do like 10 to 13 mph if that and I can forget a third guy I live in northern cali. I run the delta,rivers and klamath falls. so I dont see alot of mud but I run in 5 to 12 inches of water but a of hydrilla weeds so I was thinking of putting a new 40hp kohler on it what do u guys think would be best

Ditch that G3 and buy a 1748 or 1848 Pro-Drive boat or something similar and then see if you still want a new powerhead.

I just got the hull I still have my 1648 and it did ok but I wanted more room and I run 6 to 12 miles before I even get to the marshes in deep water I would like to sit this hull up to run how fast can I see with this hull and with more hp I would like to see 25mph+ with dog and 2 guys what would I be looking at to see what im looking fore

You had a 1648 PD boat?

NO its a g3 too

Your not gonna get the full potential out of your motor until you buy a hull that is built for a surface drive, and a G3 is not. Nothing against G3, I own one, its just not made for a mud motor.

GENERAC!

what is the hp on the generac and what about speed is there a line of aftermarket parts out there for them and it will bolt up the same

Bolts up with different spacers from Prodrive, there are aftermarket parts and it will put up good speeds. Better built block, cheaper than the rest and a torque monster out of the hole and mid range.

Where are people gettin high flow exhaust for the generac? Just having to have a custom one built?

The evt exhaust would fit with minor modification. I think Bfenn gutted his stock one. Don't know what you would do for a new custom one until EVT gets a new builder for theirs though. My machine shop guy said he could build one, but he'd need the whole motor. Also a random machine shop guy probably isn't going to understand the need for bracing which we all know it's pretty damn important to get the bracing right.

I had a new stainless exhaust built, Chops welded it up and got the parts from EVT. Carb is a must and a fuel pump!!!! You can get aftermarket parts from EVT, flat top pistons, cam and he can modd your stock heads.

I bet you could buy this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Generac-44hp-Engine ... 2c5b51f58b Throw a carb, exhaust, and fuel pump on it and be ready to roll. Although I'm not sure if you would need anything wiring wise.

I think im going to just get a ganerac 44 I will get one in the next week or so I know I talk to a couple guys out here and thay like them too I will go a had an order the 44

I hope it will be the night and day difference

I been talking to the guy on ebay. They are working on selling one with a mikuni already on it. Don't think they are gonna re-open shop until the end of march or early april though and they'll have to build your motor after that.

He is a great guy and very knowledgable, he did call me and asked about the mikuni and I gave him EVT's number maybe they are doing some business together

OK now im goimg to a big block motor on my pd I have the small prop on there right now I will just keep that one in my boat if I break a blade but pd olny has a prop for the 36hp is there any that I can get a prop from that will match the boat and hp

Hopkins

the stock 36 prop will work that is what i am running
