I bit the bullet... sold my old motor in less than 48 hours and now have this new bad boy on order.
I'm looking forward to a new platform behind the old sled. With any luck it will be ready for the SETX Mud Run.
I went with the two blade prop and I'm probably going to stay stock for now and see how the motor pushes the barge before deciding on any mods.

Re: GTR40XD
I love mine, have right under 60 hours on it so far and no issues. You will need to get your prop worked though because out the box, they don't have enough cup so you get some slippage. Maybe your rig will be different but that was my experience with mine bro

Re: GTR40XD
I have to disagree with the Slip. Mine did not slip like the three blade but my Boat just topped out on RPMs with the two blade. I know it is hard to buy a new motor then spend down time and money on a prop but it is worth it. Baggy fixed mine and my two blade runs like a three now and takes off with out all that Business of Trimming up and down.

Re: GTR40XD
Mine slipped before getting it worked, but every boat is different. In any event, getting your prop worked by baggy is worth the money
