Post 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

That sounds like there mat be a small hole in the fuel line if you are having to keep pumping it.

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
