4 blade. The rx4 is made for the G2. You want the rx4. The way it handles the Torque of the G2 an lifts the lund is great.
Honestly I dont get to involved in the salesmanship of products. I’ve owned Merc before.
This purchase is to be one of my last boats. I just wanted to put together what “I” wanted. Not a package boat an Who is in cahoots with who. Never owned a lund. Always had glass bass.
When I heard about the lund bass on the pro vIP2 haul I put it on my list. Same with the G2. Made a list of top 3 choices in boats an motors. Did my rsearch. Made my choices. It was between Suzuki or the g2. Figured I would be a Guinea pig with the new lund bass an the g2 hitting the market. Also figured with the warranty offered for the G2 it was a know brainer.
Only thing I would do different is get the passenger console right away.
I’d sell if anyone was interested. Only because I know Exactly what I would be doing an wouldnt miss a beat.
No, no. No second guessing. You will be pleasantly surprised every time your on the water.
22-20 will all do great. I had 22 but thought my rpms where a little low. Thats the only reason I changed from that. Performance wise was great. Went to a 20 an the Rpms are right at the higher end of the range when wide open. 21 will be “PERFECT”. I’ve not tried one but I’m certain it’s the best. Actually due to unfortunate circumstances on Thursday. Im now forced to order a 21 tomorrow.
Know matter what pitch you go with you will not notice any difference in the hole shot or mid range (I mean you will but NOTHING that anyone other than you would notice an you will have a hard time noticing. You Will still be the fastest out of the water. Guessing with the 21 you should be hitting 59 regularly an Perfect situation an light load, might hit 62. I hit 60 regular with the 22 an once hit 63.
No worries…21 it is.
I love,love,love it. After experiencing the G2HO I couldn’t imagine having anything else on the back. Hole shot is like a rocket. Doesn’t matter where you give it throttle you feel it. You an be Cruising at 50 an give it more an you will still feel it. Turns like it’s in rails. The ride is as you would expect. Its a very nice feeling when your out in some weather an the other bigger boats are cruising along 30-35 an you are dry an comfortable rolling 45. The boat motor combination is perfect. You’ll want to do more boating than fishing when ya first get it! Congrats!!
How fast are you going at WOT with this set-up? Never heard of anyone re-powering DOWN, but I get it that you have a lot of ponies back there for an aluminum boat this size.
The recorded max speed to date that has been stored by the G2 is 60.3. I don’t recall ever seeing that speed hit. Guessing it was first couple times out getting acquainted with the boat an no load.
With fully loaded gear, 4 people, usually around 1/2 tank glass give or take. I’m consistently hitting 57 58.
Took forever it seems to get it. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now. The boat itself far exceeds my expectations. The G2 on it is mind blowing. I’m not sure I could justify every getting something different.
Truthfully am thinking of selling and getting same boat with smaller G2 now that they have come out with G2 150/175Hp The 200G2 literally giving throttle crossing wake on some standard chop on the water rockets the boat out if the water. Fun fun fun an a dream to have. It’s having a Ferrari while riding in a Cadillac. Love it!!!!
I’m running a 22pich an hitting 5100rpm. Will be going to 20″ an should put me at the lower end of Rpm Rang around 5400. 5400-5800 is where I want to be.

One recommendation – I didn’t see anything about battery chargers. Electricity matters and not having it or not taking care of batteries sucks.
Look into both an onboard charger and a DC alternator on board charger. Minnkota makes nice stuff.
Welcome to IDO!
I do have a 3 bank pro series going in.
Just another fisherman tale w/o pics. Just sayin’….
Post up some photos of that bad azz rig!
Mr Turner,
I’m not Einstein by know means. What I can tell by reading though. Is that the boat is not rigged yet. That I’m sharing some details an excitement of my knew purchase an ASKING “Is their some details/preferences I should be making sure of when dealer starts to rig it up?”
I can be condescending as well..
If you have some useful information to what I’m asking. Please, I would gladly take note of your expert opinion.
When this bad ass boat as you call it, is in my drive way. I will takes some pics for you. Will even post several of them with differnet time stamps an videos. Just so their is know fish tale questioning my integrity 
Well here’s the back ground how this came about.
I grew up in MN an lived on the Missippi. Graduated, an the military took me to the east coast (Virginia until early my 30’s). Primary large mouth fishing, as you can imagin being in Virginia. It seemed if you mentioned “eye” fishing you were looked at as if you where mentally challenged.
Sold my rig to make the move to WI easier.
Running kids all over an weekend events made “serious” Fishing take more of a back seat to the family an seasonal hunting.
Well now it’s time to dust of all the gear an get back to it.
I’m far from being a “eye” guru. Was use to my bass rig. So when in search of a new boat it was hard for me to think of spending a good chunk of $$ on a aluminum boat. With much research an thinking I’m very happy with what I’ve decided to go with. The way I see it, I should be able to accommodate serious fishing of all species on all bodies of waters.
Dealer had a grey XS already on order with custom trailer.
Had it worked out to swap the custom trailer out with the standard bunk an guides when it gets here. Didn’t make sense to me to have custome trailer when he didn’t order the boat with the upgrade decals on the boat itself. Saved me a few $$ to put into more functional items.
Chose the e-tech G2 200. I’m hoping like hell I don’t regret it. Was going to go with the Suzuki 200af, but I guess the hype got to me on the G2.
Requested 101/36v xi5 over the 80/24v minkota as my research was leading to the xi5 does a better job when in anchor mode. As well as the base Is less obtrusive an takes up less mounting space.
The choice of xi5 lead me to Lowrance from hummingbird for easy compatibility. HDS3 12″ at the helm with 3D transducer. HDS3 9″ at the bow using the Xi5’s transducer for now. Installing the elite TI 7″ into the dash which will connect to the G2 for the engine data. I figured it saved me a good diffence in $$ instead of using the G2’s Updraded in dash display. As well as I have the ability to use the Elite TI as a graph. The Lowrance/xi5 units will all be networked.
I had to compromise with the kids an let them choose the the G2’s color’s an get a ski pole.
Typical options of custom travel cover, Blue tooth radio, additional bike seat, 3 bank pro series charger, rod holders.
I figured that’s enough $$$ spent. I can can add side or total scan transducer next year to the XI5. Only couple years an kids will be out the door. I can add the talons then,as the ski pole will not ever be used.
I’ve been out of the game for awhile. Is their some details/preferences I should be making sure of when dealer starts to rig it up? iE: Lowrance units hooked to stating battery an not the 36v system?
I was told the XI5 101/36v will run all day long with hard usage?
I’m feel like a kid at Xmass
