[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 428172, member: 9937"] Good evening all, I have an older riveted Generation lll 1648 with a 2005 Nissan 30 four stroke with power tilt and trim. Currently it is setup as a prop and runs my boat fairly well. Even being it has the older 1.9 gear ratio lower unit instead of the updated 2. Something. I hit 29 mph when trimmed out at full throttle. This is by myself, full fishing gear, decks, 24v trolling motor with two series 27 batteries mounted up front and other misc gear. So here is the big question. Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup only with a pump? Trying to figure out if switching to a pump would be a waste of money or not. I fish a lot of small and large rivers now and cannot get where others can. Most of the time it's the better of the spots I cannot get into. The boat is very wel balanced the way I have it setup and I feel the PTT would only help me with being slightly under powered. Pics are so everyone can see the setup. The motor on the boat then was my old 25 merc two stroke. [/QUOTE]
