Post 40 Horse Prodrive
The 40 is impressive! Just sold my 37 (stock with gutted exhaust) and upgraded to the 40. Huge difference in power in all ranges. I only have empty speeds so far, but I picked up about 3mph on top end. Holds 32 in deep water and ran 33 in shallow. Pro-Drive 18x48 boat. Everything is in stock form including my prop.

Did anyone ever figure out the bow rope storage dilemma?

Nice, it is impressive, in stock form it was strong on my 1854 SBX CC tank.

I have right at 100 hours on my 40 briggs pd. it's a lot more responsive than my old carbed 36. and I picked up a solid 3 mph or so. [mine is a gen 3 lower unit] 20'x44'' skiff.

it does burn more gas, but i'm running around at 4800rpm's vs 4200rms. lol

hadn't been frogging all night to see if it's better on fuel just running low speeds.

Mine drinks more fuel as well but I’m good with it because the performance is there

More compression Cam has more lift and duration. It will use more fuel when the Throttle plate is WFO.
