guys running 27's can you tell me whether you like the motors or not and what kind of numbrs yur getting? have a gd1644 and im looking at a low hr gdsd but not sure if i should do it ...... if i get this lt sold. talked to a couple members already....just looking for more info. also maybe what can be done to a 27 without spending an arm and a leg to get more out of it.

thanks

My buddy that I hunt with has a 27 GDSD with a light load two people guns decoys normal huntin stuff in shollow water we get from 22 to 24 sometime bumpin 25 with the wind if were lucky , I think it's a good motor , but thats just me his is on a 1648 grizzly so it's not the best boat for that motor , Your would be alot better , I just bought a 27 last week but I bought the mini just because I am trying to keep the weight down some there's like a 40 or 50 pound difference between the two going buy there web page. If your a speed freak get a bigger boat and a 35 hp they say they can move pretty good. I've got a 40 hp outboard if I want to haulass.Good luck

i dont have to haul ass....just dont want to be a turd in the water.

Then a 27 would be a good motor for you.

ran a 27 gd on a 16x48 three blade light load me gas 26 deep good bottom end

I bump 26 with just me in my 1656 in deep water. That's with two batteries and hunting gear. Add two people and more gear and 20 is all I get in deep water. Just added an aftermarket intake and K&N filter. Have a stainless Q muffler on the way also. Not worried about my top end, just want to boost load carrying speed.

Have you notice much with the after market intake and air filter.

Sorry I was trying to read this on my phone and missed the SD part

Med a man of your money. He'll buy em both, good to see you around again

I've only run it once with the new intake. It definitely made a difference with throttle response. Don't know about speed or load carrying. Didn't have much weight in the boat, myself and one other person, and didn't bring my GPS.
