Well im headed to macon to get my first rig ever this saturday..I know there has been a lot of turmoil with dixie but please keep your negative comments to yourself...I dont care...But in the mean time I'm stoked!! Any dos/donts would be appreciated! Whats considered a good break in period? I mean I know its just a lawn mower engine and I never broke my lawnmower in nor do I ever change the oil ...whens everyone like to change their oil and air filters? Everyone has been helpful on the site..appreciate it guys.

Gotcha. Thanks man I hope I do too.

Good luck n congrats

Congrats! Make sure to post pics after you pick it up.

I deff will..If I can figure out how too haha. Im hoping to run it when I get home and some on Sunday. Is it a lot different then driving an outboard?

Yep.. Outboard and it are two different animals. Good luck with the rig

Biggest difference is the Dixie has a 1% chance of not breaking.

Someone had to break the ice

Y in the hell would u buy Dixie? Everyone is unsatisfied with them at the very least!

Yea dont worry about forever dragging he likes to start shit .. But on the break in wide the f**k open is how I did my engine

I just dont understand wtf people are trying to prove on here. You going to pull up to a red light and talk shit a guy driving a different car then you ? Will do brady ill have her in the wind!!

Haha yea if it not like what they got on their boat then fuck you they think .. I say it's your money. if it does end up messed up its youf money you spent not theirs , so not sure why they make stink about it

Weight distribution is key. Spend a lot of time figuring out how it will carry a load. Keep your prop out of the hard pack/sand otherwise you will burn through them and your wallet fast! Two speeds, idle and hammer down!

Have fun and good luck

Drive it like you stole it for 10 hr change oil and enjoy it

Change the oil 8 to 10 he's then grip it and rip it!!!!8-)

So what was the point of this thread??

What's your point ? I can post about whatver I want too along with the other hundreds of people on this site. Your a perfect example of one of the jack asses on this site.

Just being the Devils Advocate here. But, If your going to jump peoples ass be ready for them to tell you the truth on how it is. Sorry. We get on here to find tips and tricks and to tell and teach each other what to stay away from and this was one of the main things to stay away from.

Its like us all talking about firestone tires say ten years ago. how they were falling apart and you getting on here say "guess what fellas i just got a set of Firestone tires. What yall think."

We really are on here to save pople grief with crappy products. So dont get all dick bent when we tell you you bought a turd.

X2 hell yeah if you break it in like a pussy it will always run like one!

Run conventional oil for the first 15 to 20 hours then switch to synthetic...helps seat the seals better

Negative is what we do around here every body gets harassed one way or another on this site wether it be about your age or what your driving none of it is personal. Think of these guys as older brothers that think they know it all they are gonna mess with you if your right or wrong but are looking out for your best interest so just deal with it and fit in or hit the road jack. Congrats on the new rig hope it holds up for ya, and drive it like you stole it.

Damn double post

Exactly was just looking out for his best intrest. Thats all.

No i havent bought anything from him i did reserch before i did and made a wise decision. But i have seen the pictures and they dont lie.

I get it everyone has a different taste and im open to criticism and humor but I mean holly shit dont get on here and try and start something just because you didnt agree on what I bought.

i have tried them all trust me.

Had a godevil wau back when(longtail) wanted more speed
Went to mudbuddy was the 3rd guy in Texas to have the old Hyperdrive style Likes it but engine(29 kawi) was a dog.
Hunted with a guy with a dual prodrive rig. just wasnt impressed where i hunt.
60 Yamaha,
40 merc with everything on it,
Drove a buddies GTR for a full duck season till i got one and realized thats what i wanted.
And when i decided to buy i looked and reserched them all again. Its what any person would do to make a rash decision when spending that much money. You pay for what you get.

There is no research on mikes motors...and all the pictures iv seen of the boats look damn good and I talk to the guys that own them and they couldent be happier. If ben owned dixie would I buy?? hell no.
