Just picked it up on Friday. Weather was finally decent and got to run it around a little 10 acre lake at the house. She handles like a dream. Got her up to 25 with 4 people and 33 with 2. This is my first mud motor and all I can say is that I am glad I didn't wait any longer to get one. The pics are from Chad's website. I was having too much fun to get my camera out today. Still got some things to add including light bar, trolling motor, and some lights under the catwalks.

Looks awesome! Getting the same boat almost (1854 with regular hunt deck) and same motor next month! How's the BD 4500 run?

This is the first mud motor I have owned, but I have drove a 2010 PD 27 HP of a friend and the MB performed better. I know technology has come a ways since then and I got more power, but the MB handled well. Got on plane quick with good power from the start. I couldn't be more happy with the set up I went with.

33 is gettin it done in a v rake boat w catwalks, boxes, decks etc.. Tks again for the business!! 25 w 4 ain't no joke either for that setup!! Lemme know when u ready for more goodies like sound bar etc etc!! Lol

GRR, you got soem good speeds from that boat. did she get on step pretty quick with 4 people?

Prodigy, you got jokes

Get you a exhaust and you'll pick up some rpms, super nice boat!

Nice looking boat! Bring it down to the Seminole poker run August 2nd.

Is that kind of a trim tab at the bottom of the transom?

All about building adjustability into our boats.............

You already have IM Heads and a Mikuni. Put a good flowing exhaust and that will probably be all you'll need. More air in, more air out.

^^^this. With the mod already on that motor a exhaust is a must. I run a stage 3 and no problems, just keep up on my pm's on motor and outdrive.

Looks mighty nice

Preventive maintenance

Good deal. I'm going with the game plan of treating it like I did my outboard with the exception of greasing. Told every 50 hours on grease, I personally check my oil every time.

As for oil changes on these things, is it more based on how the oil is looking, time the motor has run or a couple times a year? With the money in this thing, I just don't want to be sitting at home after this thing goes bust after 100 hours and have to put a damn outboard on there in the middle of the season and have to go back to walking a mile to a hole.

Bps. That's the exhaust I'll eventually go with

you should hit up seminole. good area, good people, pretty cool running with all those other boats,and at those speeds youll see alot of em behind you

I don't think this thing will touch those speeds with a "real" load though. Had maybe a gallon of fuel left and only me (170#) and my younger brother (140#) and a empty Yeti for a chair. I hope I prove myself wrong though. It would be nice to keep up those speeds in season

Is seminole not right on the FL/GA line?

affirmative

Valve lash is important on these motors, keep an eye on em.

wonder how many Prodigy boats will be there.

Sweet boat, mine is supposed to be ready next week. I am very excited about it

Got to ride in this boat a couple of weeks ago and must say its a very smooth and clean boat.
