 trying to pick the right boat
I just bought a 20 hp godevil longtail wondering what size hull would be best. I was lookimg for a 14 footer but looking around that doesnt sound like a good idea any thoughts

 Re: trying to pick the right boat
I have a 20 on a 1436 with 1 person I'm gettin 18. If I could pick any hull it would be a 15-16x36

 Re: trying to pick the right boat
That sounds like there mat be a small hole in the fuel line if you are having to keep pumping it.

 Re: trying to pick the right boat
It runs on ether and when you prime the ball and when you prime the ball the pump shoots fuel out of two small holes on the pump
