Im looking into a dixie 23 hp. Yall help me out. How is it

Don't waste your money that's all they are get a copperhead if you want a reliable mud motor

I really like my Copperhead 12 but, would love a Copperhead 18! I get 19.4 mph with me 250 a buddy 170 three deep cycle batteries, trolling motor, little cooler, 2.5 gallons of fuel and fishing/gigging gear. I got a 1542 Tracker Jon. boat is 210 lbs.

Copperhead are alot more expensive... I have heard some good things about dixie, i just wanted some more input from some ppl.

Ben from Dixie just called me this morning and my 23hp Dixie is on its way

Lawrencemb let me know how you like it.

i will. and i hope to post some videos also.

how long have you been running your motor Swampthing.

About two months. Won't be for awhile now though, put a hole in the boat today

So you would reccomend one? No probems out of it yet??

Yes I would. Only problem I had was a fluke not because of bad quality

Im really serious about getting the 23 hp. But just want to make sure its worth it bc i have a 25 yamaha 2 stroke now thats great running but want to go skinny.

I have had my 21hp Dixie since Ben started building motors. I have beat the hell out of it and never once had a problem. Mine is on a 1648 Grizzly Tracker and it is a awsome combo. Were about to do some experimenting with mine, carb and duels, also swaping to the new aluminum frame and tilt. It would run 25mph with me deep cycle batt, and 5 gallons of gas. Hopeing to see high 20's or low 30's with the new set up.

I would highly recommed a Dixie to anyone looking for a well built affordable motor.

Rojo don't have much to say...my guess is he was never considering a Dixie.

I love mine. Its one tuff bastard and my motor would push it around 25mph when it was stock. Im ready to get everything done and she what it will do.

Fed Ex tracking says my 23hp with hydraulic trim will be at my house tomorrow. And it's going on my 1448 grizzly . If you haven't spoke with Ben at Dixie you should super nice guy very helpful. ( sounds like rojo might have a hard on for a copperhead lol) I looked at copper heads you tube videos and they are not that impressive and besides that looks like the biggest motor they offer is a 18hp and they cost more where Dixie offers the 23 and 35hp. I haven't ran mine yet but I'm not worried. Will post pics just as soon as I get it mounted on the boat .

Looking forward to pics and how u like it thanks fellas

Your gonna have one fast boat with that motor and a 1448.

Picked my motor up from FedEx this morning and it looks freaking awsome. Ben and the guys at Dixie hats off to you guys outstanding !!!

whats your story cb

He is butt hurt about something

hey swamp star what are you using to suport you motor when going down the hwy??

I trim mine almost all the way down and then strap the shaft to the bottom of the trailer with the motor turned

I trim mine about half way up and strap across the motor to the handles on back of my boat. It keeps it from turning and bouncing.

I ended up building a brace out of angle iron and square tubing

Finally got to run my Dixie today and it's pretty damn sweet matter of fact it kicks ass

I also built a support bar for my Dixie 23 to reduce the bounce while trailering it. Works great! Really helps protect your transom for damage over time.

Just got my DIXIE 23HP dialed in, that machine is awesome! I would recommend one to anyone.
