Post Motor Question
Allright MMT Braintrust, I want some serious azz horsepower and torque for my soon to be built boat, but im kinda lost on the upgrades. I know the HD 7000 Mud Buddy is a beast but does Gator tail make one that compares to that and does either one come with a warranty? I really like the GTR but was curious if they had a machine without having to put on aftermarket mods outside the factory.

I need some opinions guys.

You want reliable power or you want big power? Reliable = shaved heads Amount depends on your preference, cam, add some timing (only run 93 octane). These mods will help all around. Moreso on the load carrying ability.

Im gonna run with at least one person and gear guns etc. I wanna outrun but mainly maintain a load and get through the backwaters. No real mud mainly grass and pads.

Go with duals.. You will have 3yr factory warranty on each motor, and can carry 1000+ pounds without feeling it.

x2 best all around mods for some top end gain and alot of load carrying would be. Heads, Cam, and Exhaust. if you want to also a carb but the heads and cam will make a huge difference. Also shim the srings and put at least stanless exhaust vavles in

Go here and click on the "donate a mammogram". This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Try to tune 2 carbs is a pain in the arse, but if you wanted too you could buy a factory gator-tail and soup it up just like the HD7000 but as for Gator tail putting one out the shop like that your not gonna find it
