I’m looking at getting a gatortail. Outside of price what would be the benefit of a 35 hp over the 40? I believe the 35,37,and 40 all weigh the same and I understand what I can afford but would there be a time when you can argue it’s simply too much motor in terms of hp? Dropping it on a 16x48 gatortail with a timber deck so 17x48 overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As far as hp don't think the 40 would ever feel like too much hp. I would say the the only advantage to a 35 is that it's still a carb motor . For the man that wants to wrench on it himself the carb motor is the most straight forward. |

If I’m not mistaken, a gator tail 16x48 will be a 16x48 even with hunt duck. They don’t add to the length like gator-Trax |

Terms of boat handling HP you should be ok with the 40 hp on a 1648. I run a moded MB 45 on a 1648 hull with no problems. |

I thought the same. I saw the original invoice and they called it 16 though it’s 17 tail to tip and wlf registration lists it as 17 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The main benefit of lower HP motors is "IF" you hunt WMA HP restricted areas. I know CLF is strick on modded motors. Not even aftermarket exhaust. |

No such thing as too much hp. Just decide if you want a carb or efi. You can always modify either. |
