Although you can run your GO-DEVIL on a regular jon boat, you will get better performance on a GO-DEVIL Boat. Our boats are designed to be used with GO-DEVIL engines. They are all welded, .125″ aluminum and are built to withstand the environments that GO-DEVIL engines are designed run in. The slick bottom and round chine design allow to the boat to slide through mud and over logs and stumps. The GO-DEVIL Boat has the longest running bottom of any boat in its class allowing it to plane faster and perform better with the GO-DEVIL engine than any other boat.

Engines needs about 9 to 10 inches of soft bottom (water, mud, vegetation) to start from a standstill. That can be 1 inch of water and 8 inches of mud, etc. Once the boat is up and running on plane, it will be able to run in about 1/4″ inch of water in soft mud or 5 inches on a hard bottom.  Depending on conditions, Engines can perform without water in a soupy or very soft mud.

All of our engines run best on flat bottom aluminum Jon boats. Long tail engines run best on long narrow boats. Our surface drive engines being heavier run best on wider boat to give the rear of the boat more lift. Fiberglass and v-bottom boats do not work near as well as Jon boats.

All of our improvements are designed to fit on all of our previous models. We will continue to do this, allowing you to keep your GO-DEVIL equipped with the current features no matter how long you have owned your engine.

There is no serious break-in procedure. You do need to change the oil after the first 10 hours and then only every 50 hours or once a year.

In most cases a 10w 30 is fine. In very cold temperatures lighter oil is recommended. Refer to engine specific manual for recommendations. We do not recommend synthetics until engine is broken in with at least 50 hrs.

That depends on the type of environment you are running your motor. Naturally a prop lasts much longer in a soft, muddy environment than a hard, sandy environment. If you are regularly running in extremely shallow sandy environments you may need to replace props fairly often.

The GO-DEVIL Grass Blind is made to universally fit as many boats as possible. The blind frame can go from a width of 49″ – 72″ wide and 10.5’–17’long. As long as you have a flat place in the rear and front of the boat ( for example front deck and rear seat) to mount the Blind’s mounting feet to it can be installed on your boat with minimal modification. You can contact us for more information on if it will fit your specific boat.
