The Go-Devil wasn't made for Lake Scuogog, but two busi- nessmen believe this unique outboard motor was made for the weedy lake. Paul Phillips and Gord Pogue are plenty excited about the Go- Devil. So excited, they've be- come the Louisiana made mo- tor's first dealers in Canada and have obtained distributor rights for all of Canada. Just what, exactly, is a Go- Devil? Frankly, it's the funniest looking outboard motor ever seen in these parts, or else- where. It mounts on the back of any small boat, its Briggs & Stratton engine looking a little like a lawnmower motor, with a long, long tail protruding from the back. But looks aside, the Go-Devil is enthusiastically proclaimed by its manufacturers as the "most efficient, inexpensive, shallow water propulsion de- vice ever invented!" The engine is air-cooled (un- like conventional motors which are water cooled) and with the shaft lubricated with grease, the Go-Devil can run out of the water indefinitely. Some units have been used in sludge pits in paper mills where a convention- al outboard with a water pump cannot run at all. The Go-Devil usually only requires enough water to float the boat. Best of all, the propeller is vir- tually weedless, which is why Paul and Gord think the Go- Devil is perfect for Lake Scugog. The partners have known each other for a few years. Paul worked for a farm equipment dealer in Brooklin before mov- Brown Duck Blanket Lined Built better than it has to be. e Heavy duty 100% cotton Brown Duck © 4 patch pockets, 1 with button flap o Inside safety pocket e Extra strong, triple- stitched main seams © Brass-plated rivets at § stress points e Bi-swing action back © Wind resistant and snag proof and polyester ® Corduroy collar ® Optional: matching lined snap-on hood Matching pant and bib overall available.

The whole Go-Devil thing started when Paul was asked, by a couple of duck hunters, to service an engine. "They showed up with one of these Go-Devils," Paul, who was immediately intrigued, re- called. He looked at the engine to find out where it was made, and laterinquired about it. He was so impressed with the engine, he applied for a dealer- ship and Canadian distributor rights with Gord, and they be- came partners. "It's the kind of thing you say to yourself, why didn't I think of that?" Paul said enthusiastical- ly about the weedless engine. "These things will run until the cows come home." Developed and patented in 1977, the original Go-Devil has been widely accepted in Loui- siana and Southeast Texas as one of the most popular duck hunting motors. The units are available in 3, 5, 8, 11, and 18 horsepower models. Paul and Gord claim the price tags are comparable with conventional motors. . Paul explained, "These out- boards aren't meant to replace the conventional outboard--but theyll do things those motors won't even think of doing." Gord added, "They're strictly a workhorse." The partners figure the mo- tors will be extremely popular in this area, and are hoping the Go-Devil will really go. Coat Winchester & Thickson Rd. 655-8401
