Is it even possible for a stock 35 GTR on a regular 1754 GT boat to run 30 with 2 people and gear and 37 with 1 person and no gear? I was told this and was wondering if it was remotely possible.

Not likely.

no! aint gonna gain 7mph by just putting 1 person outta the boat, may run 30 with 2 peeps and a light load but damn sure aint gonna run 37 with a stock motor.

A stage 1 will see 30 with 2 peeps, you'll have to go stage 3 to get 37 empty.

robert4wd's stock motor runs 30. believe that brooks said his ran 30+ when he got his rig new.

Mine will run 30 if boat is empty!It is stock with a EVT exhaust.

I know alotta people claim they're motors run 30. None "I" know of will do it stock. Not sayin it can't happen just none I've seen

I'm talking a regular 1754 with bone stock GTR no add ons. Dude selling it said it runs 30 with 2 people but I'm skeptical.

They might blip 30 on the gps in the shallows and they see it, after that, their rig runs 30.

Being able to run 30 mph is very possible. Some boats do, some don't. When new, my boat and stock motor ran 30 mph.

However, no stock motor will push a boat 37 mph.

It could run 30 with stock motor, but not with 2 people and gear its not gonna run 30

my 7000 on 1650 xpress 30 up river 34 down on gps and it out runs most stock 35s at 1/2 throttle. idk about these fairytale speeds people are getting

I got a stock 35 GTR and a 14.5' boat. Lite load I touch 30 in optimal conditions normally run 28. 37 my azz.

My stock motor on a 16x48 would touch 30 in the right conditions but would run 29. The same hull modded engine would run 34 tops,35 with a skinny mofo at the tiller. Now the same hull has a cdi GTR on it and I have a hard time making it run over 28.

I have a 17x54 GT boat and even with the modded motor it would not run over 35 light. With a stock cdi motor it would run 28 and with 3 people and hunting gear it would run 24.

I'll hit 30 when winds kicking and behind me most the time by myself I run 28 bumping 29 and 2 people no gear 28 solid

I hit 33 once in deep water but that current was ripping through the bush canal storm gate. There was a foot an a half difference from one side to the other. When I went the other way I was one plane doing about 3 mph

I posted a vid on youtube of mine running 30 in deep water. All I have done is put a MM exhaust. It runs 30 most of the time with a new prop and a light load.

My rig will hit a steady 28-29 with 2 people and cooler of beer. (with a new prop)

I hit 33 no wind with gamewarden chasing me lol

I always laugh at the speed claims. I bet very, very few (any brand) rigs will break 30 with 1 man and a light load. I have ran with alot of rigs at the runs and I can run with most and out run some. Very few can pass me over distance and Im not running but 28-29 on my better days. Plus I make 2 of some of these guys and usually have my wife and her chit in the boat too which gets me down into 27-28mph range. So yeh alot of these claims are BS. But the GTR are probably on the high end of the speed scale and if that 1-1.5mph impresses you then by all means get you one. I dont care if I ever run over 30. In fact I like to cruise at about 3600 rpms and 24-25mph. But what I really would like is to be able to carry a 3-4 man load at 28-30mph. Now that would be really nice. Think I may have to try the cam thing myself.

And I am running. G nitro methanol, yea buddy

Another quick question on speed. I am going to mount a 35 MD hd on a 1648 grizzly mod vee .100 welded. What kind of speeds should I expect? I am thinking with two guys dogs & gear about 25mph. Is that fairly close?

Thanks for the input.......................

I have seen robert4wd's boat hit 29 with him and i in it. So i know for a fact his will run 30 by himself in it.

I have a 16-60 GD Boat and a 35GTR with only a MM Exhaust and i can run a constant 29-30 with me (180) and a light load. 2 ppl ( both about 180) can still run a constant 28. But my boat handles a load very well.

Robert4wd's rig ran 28-29 with me, him, my dog and a hunting load, It'll run 30 all day long with jsut a marshmellow exhaust, he has the boat in question on this thread. It can be done.

ON the other hand i carry a load at 31 consistant, ran 32 with me and 2 other guys with an icechest down a bayou not far from my house.

OUt ran a 25merc on the back of a 15ft. boat with a guy and his daughter coming home from a hunt one morning, i had 3 people in the boat full hunting load and walked him all the way back to the ramp

Take em that's with your current mods?

thats pretty impressive,a modded 35 walked away on a 25 merc?You sure you aint shittin me?
bet a 15 hp wouldnt stand a chance against that beast.
