I have been riding with my buddy for years now and finally had enough of driving his boat and want my own.........I dont have too much cash lying around and have been seriously considering getting a fiberglass hull with a small block chevy....I know they are a hell of alot heavier than aircraft of GPU's but are cheaper and parts and service I can generally do myself....I am not too big of a fan of running dry trails and if I want to play in the mud i will take my 4 wheeler out but would like enough power so if i have to run run for 100 yards or so would like to have the power to get through it to the water.....A question I had is can I pull that off with a direct drive or do I need a gear reduction for that....Someone once told me that a prop can spin more than 3,000 or so rpms....With a direct drive how fast will I be running.....Also can someone give me a ball park figure on how many gallons per hour there small block burns direct drive or gear reduction...Thanks
