Just graduated from higschooland got a little cash saved up. I've been looking at the big names go-devil, beavertail, muddy buddy...etc. I know these guys have a good rep from a lot of members on here. I was just wondering if theres any serious information I can get from Dixie. Maybe someone has one that had a good or bad experience with them that would want to elaborate really any info would help. Looking to save a buck buy going with these guys, but if there gona be a piece of shit I won't waste any money and maybe wait another year.

Never heard of them.

every post I have seen where someone has bought one, there has been an issue. Granted, Dixie fixed them, but my deal is why buy something new when you are pretty sure there will be an issue quickly? what size motor you wanting? Smaller motor...copperhead for sure. 23 or bigger, one of the big 3 (and they aint go devil or beaver tail )

Thanks for the help and yea i'm only looking for like a 10hp i only got a 14*36 john. Don't think I could put much more than a 10?

ive been in contact with dixie about there 10hp they seem like they got their stuff together an im gonna be buyin one to put on a 1442 alumicraft soon

I plan on having the 18hp with aluminum frame on my 14.6 Duracraft in the near future.

Well when you get one lemme know how it runs. I contacted them to thinking i'm goin to go with them also.

I bought an 18hp, manual trim, no clutch.. where are you located? I'm in Tuscaloosa, come take it out. I run it on a 1446

actually I'm running it on my 16.5x52 bowfishing rig right now, but it doesn't push it for chit when its loaded down which is prob more like over loaded. I'm honestly thinking of getting a bigger dixie. here's a pic of it on my duck boat and my bowfishing boat.

How does it do on the 1446?

24mph loaded with.. 400lbs or so? 2 people, dog, and light duck hunting gear. But, i definitely recommend the power trim. thats where i messed up

That's good to hear.I do plan to get the clutch and power trim.Do you have the aluminum frame?

no, I have a dixie... you must me talking about a copperhead

Dixie is offering the aluminum frame also.

Haha little bit of a drive for me but thanks for all the input I think i'm gona go ahead and get me one. Called them up a few days ago sound like they got a good motor and a good group a guys be tested that bad boy out come spring.

Yea, Its a bit of drive for you. But they seem to be good guys and taking care of business. I called them like 10 times a day for a week and a half about my 18hp, I'm sure I was annoying the hell out of them! lol Let me know how the aluminum frame is, what's the weight difference?

I talked to the guys there at Dixie and was planning to buy the 35 hp from them the guy in the phone seemed more than helpful for me and didn't seem to be in a rush to get off the phone
But a used mudbuddy popped up here close to home and I went with it sorry Dixie guys!!
As far as issues with a Dixie motor hell I've had isssues with this mudbuddy
I would buy it and not be scared!!
