I have also noted that announcement, and this is welcome news. I also notice the 27 standard LT is no longer offered- the Generac 33 supplants this motor. I currently have a 2004 27 HP MB LT and I must say it has been really good; been running it during and after duck season and apart from the oil/filter changes at the prescribed intervals, new plugs, and infrequent additions of grease, the motor is a workhorse. I did have to replace the throttle cable but that was my fault for overstressing it when I first tweaked it. I am curious to read any field trials of both motors, as well as the advertised new LT, the Generac 33. I obviously welcome the reduction gear to turn a slightly larger prop not so sure about the clutch; the latter may give problems but then again if it is demonstrated to be reliable the neutral feature will be cool. |

Woodwhat?, just curious, what hull are you planning on putting that 35 on? I am thinking the same HP, I have a 1648 but want to move up to a 1848 configuration. |

well don't have a hull picked out yet actually. i wouldn't mind a 16x44 considering the fact it never is more than me and my buddy but i don't know if weight of motor would be to much. will be shopping for a while before i find the boat i want. if i have to bump up to a 18x44 i would mind just gotta find one for sale within my price range. only positive of smaller boat is it owuld be that much lighter and faster. |

As the mfg.'s have always recommended a longer hull-the physics of it has to with more bottom surface displacement and less draft. I'm a big guy and even with an open hull 1648, when I hunt three out of my boat it is crowded; a 1848 would be about right. |
