 GTR engine upgrade? Can I upgrade my 23 to a 35 Vangaurd or a 40 Kohler? Seems like the body of the two GTR's are the same, just different size motors.

Re: GTR engine upgrade? 21-23, too slow. I had 4 people, 300lb hog, 2 does, stands, guns, ice chest and ran about 5 mph!

Re: GTR engine upgrade? A suggestion would be to sell the 23 GTR and buy a used or new 35 GTR. I is going to cost you a bundle to change that over and you might not see much of a financial gain from the motor swap. Seems that there is considerable interest for different size mud motors.  JMO

Re: GTR engine upgrade? I like the 28hp Kohler CH745. 94 lbs and EFI is available. Wondering if it will mount?

Re: GTR engine upgrade? that's a once-twice a year load. Usually just me or 1 passenger.
