 16ft Go Devil boat advise
So I am interested in a 16 ft Go Devil boat I found for sale. I am not sure if its a 1644 or 1656 but from the pics it looks like a 1644. It has a 24 hp honda LT.
I previously had a 1648 MV hull that was beat to hell and had numerous hooks. Budget boat to get me started. I kept my 35 hp Beavertail Longtail and its in the garage.
If I was to pick up the boat would my 35 be too heavy?
Also looking from general information on the hull as far as performance and handling

 Re: 16ft Go Devil boat advise
The GD 1644 was built for a lighter LT - it will hold the 35SD but will sit low in the water.... The oldest were only .100 gauge not .125 - the rear plate will tell you...
The GD 1656 is a hull much better suited to the 35 SD - but the 1644 is a good starter hull - that is why so many are for sale... It will be a decent 2 man hull but will be a bit slow due to sitting so low in the water...

 Re: 16ft Go Devil boat advise
it will work and will be fine with the weight.

 Re: 16ft Go Devil boat advise
You will enjoy that GD 1656 - it is a great hull...
Originally designed for LT but equally suitable for SD if you go that way later...
