want to see some duck hunting rigs

[Brazos Hunter]

Here's mine in progress.

The bridge on 73..the private land I'm talking about is Pipkin Ranch.

Ha! I guided hunters on Pipkin ranch, Harvick's resevoir should still have some blind's I built on it. Pit's and conventionals. Brad owned some land on that side of taylor bayou, had a duck camp on it. Not sure if its all still there since he passed.

I've got to get back into duck hunting. It's been way to long.

I am currently running a 16x44 Godevil surface drive boat with a 23 Godevil Surface drive motor and love it over all teh longtails I have ever driven. I did do a Stage 1 mod to it by adding a different carb, intake, muffler and bigger prop. By myself in shallow water it runs about 26mph and deep water about 21mph. 2 guys/gear shallow runs about 21mph and deep water is about 18mph. I have had no problems runnign in sandy bottom areas or even full gravel/rock with mine. Just gotta know how to drive it and where to run.



Most areas I run are hard bottom shallow water and she does just fine for both hunting and fishing...





Oh, and the customer service with Go-Devil is second to none. You can call and ask them anything and usually you will talk with the owner Warren Coco or one of his tech/builders, not some one who doesnt' know what they are talking about. I will never buy another mud rig unless it's a Go-devil.

You should see it now! 400 acres of rice, harvicks and fischer are now DU projects. The old salt bayou marsh is full of coon tail moss and sago pond weed.

The hurricane destroyed the duck camp on Hemmenway's.

I totally agree with GD customer service, and some of the fastest shipping on parts if needed.

The refuges have moved to a 9" prop rule, and kills all the speed and power of a surface drive. My buddy has passed more than one on our way out to hunt.

Well I just got a boat for my go-devil. It's a 1842 go-devil round chine smooth bottom hull. Best part it was given to me to use, owner had it sitting in the barn and said take it at least you will use it! Now how do y'all think the 23hp longtail will do on that boat? It's an early model boat and doesn't seem all that heavy.

Go devil boats ate heavier than most, but not excels. They have a .0125 bottom and sides. The marsh rig has ,0100 bottom and .080 sides.

It will go slow, 18' is a big boat for a 23 longtail. You'll be lucky to hit 20 mph with nothing in it.

Put that gator tail on the go devil hull and put the longtail on the other boat and call it good

Yea I figured that, but it's free so I'm gonna at least try it.
