DS vs Precedent, hunting torque/speed winner??????

[TBigdaddy]

Have read some of the great info on this site. Looking at 04 DS and 04 Precedent. hard to pck which is the best for me, you know, opinions . . .!!!! Hunting strictly. Mostly level with some moderate incline. Want to haul 4 men. Proposed options are 500amp Curtis controllers with 7hp engine for Precedent, 14hp motor for DS. 6" lift, added leaf springs, rear fold down seat, 6- 8volt batts. Speed is not my concern. 15mph is great. I need the pulling ability to go up a hill and not ck up with 4 200lb men aboard. Hard to belive this is so hard of a choice. Btw, pricing for upgrade units are both at $4200 plus tax. direction and recommendations welcomed.

From what I have read here there are a lot more options with a DS to modify the cart.

we climbed some good hills with 4 of us 09 ds stock good torque

I would go with the DS. Made for what you are looking for. The things I do with my DS surprises me. I use mine for hunting as well

IMHO, the DS is built better because it has more aluminum in the build of the cart, so it is pretty durable. Also, the DS has been around since the early 1980s, so it is probably a pretty good cart.

Not sure why you posted this. I have had both and the precedent has larger framerails and far more sturdier than the ds. As far as torque, you will probably get more out of a series cart compared to a sepex or regen system. But the Precedent is a sturdier build.

I am sorry. I just have more experience with the DS as to taking them apart and what they look like. I have not owned a Precedent and the only time I have seen it apart is from pics from this website.

No need to be sorry and I apologize for coming off harshly, really was not my intent. But when you experience both carts you will know the Precedent is a sturdier build. You can also convert from sepex to series and would make sense if one was planning on upgrading controller and motor anyway. Series wilk give better torque options.
