Wondering if anyone had a 23hp GoDevil sd, and if so what is your take on it? Reason being, im getting a 16x48 sd boat built and using my longtail for the time being, just need some insight and what to look for. Thanks |

The 23 meets the under 25 hp rule for Federal Properties.... Other than that the 25 or 27 Kohler is a better motor in terms of torque and powerband... The 23 is a bit weaker on the bottom end of the rpm band than the Kohler - I think the 25 and 27 are about the same except for the carb.... In the GDSD the 23 has a shorter outdrive than the 27 with a lower gear ratio to make up for the lack of torque - so that they both can use the 3 blade - 1.4 to 1 on the 35 - 1.5 to 1 on the 27 - 1.7 to 1 on the 23 GDSDs..... On the right hull the 23 GDSD is a great motor - Sam III here has the 23 GDSD & 18x36 GD Skiff and can outperform many larger hulls in the slop with the bigger 35 GDSD - no chit - seen it happen just 2 weeks ago at "our run" -LOL- !!! I have a GDSD 16x48 myself and have run the 23LT - 27 GDSD - and now the 35 GDSD.... The 23LT would get me thru the toughest places --- but I like the 35 GDSD the best --- 30 plus mph and easy to drive.... |

Giga-I have a 2003 16X44 GD Duck Boat.I started out with a 23 LT. I updated to a 23 GDSD because I didn't think the boat could handle the 35GDSD. Do you think otherwise?? |
