The Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 vs Go-Devil Pirogues 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 measures 18,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Go-Devil Pirogues 2005 at 14,0 feet (2005). At 62 lbs and 9 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 carries a rated maximum of 45 hp. Engine data for the Go-Devil Pirogues 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Go-Devil Pirogues 2005 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Go-Devil 18 x 60 SD 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Go-Devil Pirogues 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
