I see one particular person recommending them, but I have not seen one on the water or know anyone actually using one. I can tell you that I would have no issues recommending a Copperhead, the quality and customer support is phenomenal. _________________ 2017 Atchafalaya Outdoor Designs 1244 2017 Copperhead 12hp

I have had 3 of his Drives and they are awesome. They are not meant for every Boat, but they are sweet for smaller vessels. I’m not saying they are the best thing since sliced bread, however after running a go devil long tail for quite a while, going to the Drake was an excellent decision. They drive smoother and handle better than most SD on the market in my opinion, that being said, they are NOT a 35/37 hp SD.... they don’t push your 18’ Boat 30mph... BUT they do push a 14’ Boat 23mph and 20 with a hunt load. For the price, warranty, and customer service you CANT beat em! I love my Drake Surface Drive.... however i also love my GDSD.... but they are two different worlds. I’ll take one over a long tail any day of the week. -HW Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk _________________ "You can always retake a class, but you can never relive a party."
