hey guys new to the forum. I have a 06 triton v hull 16/50 with a outboard 25 4 stroke on it. i love the boat in the near future what surface drive wood work or would it work on my boat? thanks guys and put some blood in your boat the rest of the year

Your best bet is buy a complete rig. You wont get the max performance out of the motor paired with that boat.

I have a Prodrive on my Triton 1650. I do have a lightly modded Generac engine, getting around 44 hp. I have it governed to 3750 rpms, but only run between 3200 and 3600. Hauls a heavy load, and gets 28mph with just me and my hunting load. Put 2 other people in the boat, still 26mph. IF the mud is soft, I only need a couple of inches of water on top to get the boat moving from a dead stop. If I am already running, it'll go across mud with pretty much nothing on top. I have friends who run GTR 35's on slick bottom boats, and they only have a slight advantage in mud at a dead stop. I ride more comfortably on the rough water, and they have to spin a couple hundred more rpms to really run noticeably faster than me. It all depends on what you intend to do, but you don't have to lay out the money to get a mud hull unless you are going to be constantly rolling it on the bottom. You will eventually get "hooks" in the Triton hull if you do that, and the performance will be affected. After 2 seasons, I still have no hooks, but I usually have at least 3-4 inches of water between the hull and the mud.
