Looking to modify my GTR 25 to run a little faster. Anyone have any ideas?

First idea..... the search function.

Only mods available for it right now is a stainless exhaust from Instagator911. Nothing else on market yet.

Where could I find that?

Should of got a 35 lol problem solved

The only way someone should get a 25 instead of a 35 is if they have a hp restriction where they hunt . I see no benefit to getting a 25 compared to a 35

They do come in handy on HP restricted areas............and then theres the 35 lol

Only reason I went 25 was to hunt certain areas ...


Sent from... who cares..

should of bought a DIXIE 35 raw power you can't beat.....

Haha duck hearse you nig up every thread.

Jay will be building my boat almost identically to Lucecr's last boat except with a 1/8" bottom (hat section, .100 sides); I think I'll be pretty happy if I can get similar speeds with the 25GTR.

On the fence about getting the exhaust.

Don't waste your time or money just get the 35. How big will boat be?

That boat could handle a 35 no problem you gunna loose more than 3 mph when loaded down compared to a 35

I'm not downing the 25 I think they are great motors, but it is nothing compared 35hp

You're gonna be just fine with the 25gtr on that boat. I know, I owned the first one just like it. Only difference will be your .125 bottom. Don't think that is gonna hurt your performance at all. I had 6 men at 1200+lbs in mine and was a steady 23mph. When I sold mine it was running a constant 30mph with one person and a light load in 2ft of water. And that wasn't with a new prop.

Ill just say this I never heard some with a 35 say damn wish I got a 25 but I heard a few with 25 say wish I had a 35 lol . I say if boat can handle a 35 put it

Only time I heard of people gettin 25 is if they already owned a boat that they knew was too little to handle a 35 and didn't want to spend a boat load of money on an entire rig.

I also never heard someone say damn my boat it too fast .. But I have heard , yea wish I had a couple more mph when I am loaded down , in 6 months let us k ow if you still have the 25

OK, I'll put an appointment and a reminder on my calendar. (sarcasm) I'm coming from a 1983 9.8 Merc on a 1436 to a 16.5x46 with a 25 GTR or 25 Merc SeaPro; I think I'll be pretty happy.

Honestly, I bought the Subaru because it's my impression that they are more reliable and tougher than the Briggs based on their smaller motors (5hp). I have zero interest whatsoever in modding any Briggs to make it more reliable. None.

I understand why and don't disagree with others who spend thousands on modding a lawnmower engine to pick up 3mph----I get it, I like to go fast too----but I have a flats boat that does close to 70mph and I just can't see myself spending a dime to go from 26mph to 29mph in this boat I'll be using 3 months out of the year.

Maybe you'll be right; if you are I'll certainly swallow my pride and buy you a beer.

The only benefit that the 25 has is that it's fuel injected. Which is pretty badass.

And refuge legal with a 9" prop.

Nvm I found it. Pass-a-loutre is no bigger than a 36hp. "Mud boats or air cooled propulsion vehicles powered by more than 36 total ho are prohibited on the WMA."

I was skeptical at first of the abilities of my little 25 but so far I've put 21 hard hours on it with no issues. Its been stuck in some pretty bad grass and mudflat and I've always gotten free. It runs 25 all day long in deep water and hits 27-28 with two grown men and 18 gallons of fuel in the shallows. It is also only burning 1.5 gallons per hour wide open. One happy customer, especially since its on a short skiff never designed with a mm in mind.
