The previous owner said it is a Go-Devil 9hp Honda but the 9hp was replaced with a 13hp Honda. I'm not sure what year it is and there's no i.d. plate or anything on it that I can find. I just want to know for sure what it is if I ever need parts for it or anything. Here are some pictures: You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ Go Gators!

Looking closer at the photos I would bet its def. not any kind of production model (homemade) like how the rake is welded to the strap that supports the cavitation plate, at the joint there is exposed steel where the weld didnt quite reach, where whom ever built it didnt take the time to grind that point down or off for that matter... This alone suggests to me that it is homebuilt let alone the frame is different and has a square flat plate the engine mounts on like the mad motor plans style... As far as parts go it could be a toss up, really the only way to get parts for something like this is to take stuff apart and take measurments, if you need some help feel free to send me a PM or ask a question on here... _________________ 1436 Lowe -Workin for the man, Huntin when I can...-

It's def a lot more solid (and heavier) than my buddies Thai made motor. If it gets me through the next 2 seasons while I'm in school I'll be happy. Then I'll sell it when I get a Gator Tail and be happy ever after. Are most of the props interchangeable or am I gonna need to find a specific one? _________________ Go Gators!

If it has a 3/4x10 threaded shaft youre good to go and can get an 8x4 weedless prop pretty much anywhere online... If its something else youre talkin about looking at a custom prop... _________________ 1436 Lowe -Workin for the man, Huntin when I can...-
