Until recently I had a 16hp mud buddy and was very happy with it. I've never had a go-devil, but I have buddies that do and they are quite happy with theirs. At the time I bought it, mud buddy offered the mount that allowed the tailshaft to be spun around into the boat, which made storage a lot easier for me. I have heard that go-devil now offers the same feature.

I've had four different Go-Devils. They have all been reliable. Every three or four years, I would take them in and have the bearing changed out and that was it. I would definately get a Honda motor on one if I was going to buy one new. You can't go wrong with a Honda.

I have a friend that is now on his 3rd Beavertail. He says there is nothing better. The owner at Beavertail, Mark Fisher, is a first class guy and goes out of his way to make sure you are happy with his product. Also, they have bearings in the shaft instead of bushings like go-devil. You have to beat them out of a go-devil when they wear. A friend of mine just ordered a boat and one of the new 75hp harley morotrs from Beavertail and he said that Mark Fisher stayed on the phone with him for over 1 hour the first time he called. If customer support is important...Beavertail is the only way to go.

I have a 2003 24hp honda mud buddy and am very happy with it.

Unfortunatley I may be selling it at the end of the season to help pay some medical bills my wife and I will be facing.
