I made a couple shortcuts for my go devil. One lets me cut across a peninsula instead of going all the way around, and the other lets me turn around at the back of a creek. The water was up enough that I could idle through them today so I took a couple videos. It's hard to videotape and drive, but here they are: |

Thanks, it is a 23hp Go Devil. It gets me where I need to go, and a little further than I should go sometimes. |

For that aqua-terrain, that 38" wide hull seem like the ticket. I bet it is fairly stable too. I have morphed from a 1436 to a 1544 and now a 1648 and want an 1848. I am 6'4" so more room is great for both ducking and fishing. What kind of optimum speeds do you get? The GD hull is flat and smooth- have you applied gatorglide or steelflex? Seems like that would help also, the GD site lists the weight at 430#. |

I would guess that it runs 19-20, but that is fine by me. I put a 9x7 on it, now it runs faster if I half-prop it, but I don't do that often because the valves start to float at 4400rpm. I ordered a gallon of G2. I put half on my airboat hull and I am saving half for this boat. I want to finish welding everything on this boat before I paint and apply GG. The boat seems every bit of 430 pounds when you get it stuck. |

At least with the longtail when you are high and dry its usually easier than a shorty...at least with my friend's SD, we would have gone farther in but when you bottom out you are really in a jam and no super-duper winch will help, or reverse for that matter, and the prop has taken a huge hit. The sand/mud here sucks the hull like with a vacuum and it is hell extricating the mother.
