 Just acquired reverse plate for GTR23!!!
Can't wait to get home to install and try it out!!!
For those of you who have experience without one and then with it, describe what I will experience.
The guys at Gator Tail said had they had these a few years ago, ProDrives with FPR would have been history by now, that's how well they work.

They work damn well but it's no substitute for fpr. You'll be glad that you got it

Having reverse like an outboard is not gonna put PD out of business. Good try though.

Who needs to power break when you can just hold it wide open and flip a switch and roll out

 Re: Just acquired reverse plate for GTR23!!!
I got a reverse plate that on my GTR and really like it. you gotta have it trimmed down under the surface of the water and then put it in reverse. lots more power and no mud thrown atcha! Still not as strong as FPR but alot better than stock.

 Re: Just acquired reverse plate for GTR23!!!
Used my reverse plate for first time this weekend. Worked very well. No wash over transome so you can step on it continuously. Very helpful in thick lilies this weekend. Don't think I would have made it through without reverse plate.
