Leave it alone ! You start cranking with a single jack your gonna over stress the glass and there is no need if the boat is riding good.

Your boat may say DIAMONDBACK but if the builder just bought a hull it will be considered HOMEMADE. If your HIN number starts with FLZ it’s gonna be a lot harder to insure in the current market. X2 with Gallagher being a great place to try.

I been around a few years and if I was gonna have to guess it is homemade. The commercial pioneer of belt drives is Century Drive Systems Inc out of Pennsylvania. I had a buddy who grew up around the owners and he told me it was some time in late 1970s that he first had seen one. I think they...

BrownWater Airboats in Floral City, FL have an excellent reputation for quality fabrication, rigging and repair. As far as purchase of an engine my recommendation would be Smeding Performance in Texas. Jacob purpose builds bullet proof high power engines. Speak to him personally and be clear...

Old saying from elementary school ! STOP LOOK LISTEN Stop and think, don’t rush to a mistake. Look everything over before you dive into spending any money. Make sure the rigging is solid and not rusting from the inside. As stated this is the time to check stringers and deal with any hull...

It looks like you have gotten a lot of great information and tech from the prior postings. I will just reflect back to my earliest experience with the JX in what was a swap test from the legendary “S” aka SuperWide blades. The JX was like taking your hot rod and putting in a 2,200 stall...

That 324 acres is a pristine patch of natural FL woods. Shame to hear it’s going to be destroyed.

There’s a name from the past ! Have not seen or heard from DTAM in over 10 years!

X2 baffled valve cover a piece of the solution. Worn rings or low tension rings could play a role as well.

Probable Cause or Reasonable Suspicion needs to be the standard that should apply to any warrantless stop. The “safety check loophole” needs to be closed as it has been abused. We are treated as Guilty until proven innocent with the current practices.

Lurking in the Shadows !

Was driving down the road and thinking back 10-15 years and how there have been some big changes in the Car Motor Boat world. The Buick, Cadillac and Olds powered boats are becoming extinct and the super new high tech power is not finding its way into the sport. It’s a shame that Chuck from...

Never used a Mopar rocker system personally. Do have a stroker rotating assembly put up that uses the 440 6 pack / 426 Hemi rod. Think that’s a 537 inch blueprint at .080 over bore. My roller motors have custom shaft systems built by someone in California and they utilize a 427 FE MAX...

Welcome and safe sliding !

When you mounted the drive up and married the flex plate to the soft drive were the two plates in close proximity. As you did not have to use the bolts to draw them together ? Have you checked to make sure the bolts that mount the flex plate are not making contact or interference with the...

VOTE YES ON 2 Maybe KrautHammer can interject ? As I understand it Seminole Wind in Florida Hunting and Fishing are open to an attack by extremist legislation. Thirty Two other states have adopted protections to preserve hunting and fishing for future generations. As such the current...

I run one and have zero issue with it and less harmonics than the competitors box due to the soft drive. If you disconnect the ignition and move the blades back and forth how much lash are you seeing. Years ago Blu bought a Torque drive and it had a ridiculous amount of lash in it. They...

Take it to a qualified mechanic

Some of these bans remain because no one has ever challenged them.

Floral City Airboats has a remote steer trolling motor set up mounted on the stern that dropped down 2 units and could be used to navigate to and from docks etc as well as for fishing. I don’t think it had spot lock but I can not say it didn’t. It was quite a set up.
