The rolled bow area is a Cottonmouth characteristic but NO trademark snake tells me no. FYI the Salty Cracker Lazer hull & Predator use the rolled nose. How about our Combee folks any recognize this build which Smokester has suggested ? Be nice to find a former owner Side note: Airboat...

Well since no one has replied yet I’ll throw out a possible. The hull appears to me to resemble a LAZER style. There are literally dozens of molds that have over the years been made using that style of hull. Some builders will exact clone a boat they have and others may expand the pad or...

Yep glad to find that 110 my friend I blend the 93 with the 110 and don’t mind. Little ethanol. My experience with Ethanol is it really becomes a huge problem when you pre-mix 2 cycle in a fixed tank. Pump gas with a water separator works for me blended with that Sunoco 110

If a race fuel says it’s “OXYGENATED” then it typically will have ethanol in its blend. Sunoco “STANDARD” is a 110 Octane leaded race fuel that does NOT have any alcohol in its formula. It is found typically at Speed Shops in 5 gal pails or dispenses via pumps. Most circle tracks sell it as...

First be very suspicious of any REC fuel posted at above 89 Second your best fuel supplement is NOT OCTANE BOOSTER most of those products don’t do much. What is your Octane need ? I run 11:1 and blend for 96 or 97 using Sunoco Standard 110 Octane race fuel. We keep it on hand and add it...

It’s nice to have a brother in-law you like !

My ammunition wholesaler has advised to expect an across the board price increase effective immediately on January 1st. They anticipate an increase of about $20 on a case (1,000 rounds) of budget target grade 9mm as an example. That equates to an approximate 7.5% price increase. Of greater...

When your measuring that boat is the actual hull 19ft or are you measuring from the grass rake back ?

As you can see by the prior postings you got a whole lot of boat and not enough engine. A boat that size to run dry effectively would need big power which costs big dollars. We are talking 4 blade prop, gear drive and 600hp plus engine purpose built. That take out 5.3 you have would be good...

There is a shop about an hour from you that fabricates if you can’t get a private hook up. Ronnie’s Airboats in Centerville

Awesome ! Glad you got it going and learned the fix !

We “oil-ways” appreciate your humor Glades!

Merry Christmas to all !

My time in Mr Branch’s shop allowed me to see that ZDDP works to prevent wear. He believed in blending his own oil and enhancing it with additives. When a person bought a new engine they left with a recipe for his what I call “Branch Brew” jokingly. Lesson here is use an oil with antiwear...

Glades All the testing I have seen on SuperTech showed it has low ZDDP. They have the new modern car certifications to go after the big market. Low as in NO GOOD for flat tappets or extreme pressures. Levels were below 850ppm it’s designed for a modern application. I know SuoerTech well I...

Just a FYI to some recent changes to motor oil formulation. It seems due to pollution control (emissions) that now even some diesel oils are lowering the ZZDP (zinc & phosphorus) wear additives. These changes or “reformulating” can have a catastrophic effect in certain cases. Standard auto...

Sad WhiteBear and Chuck are both gone ! Don’t think they ever got going with it down here SG. Chuck at AirBoat-Pro was the mini king. He had Marty Bray build trick little RiverMaster hulls for him. There is one out there with a Harley Davidson engine. It shows up for sale once in a while...

We all love Wix filters for their excellent quality and filtering ability. That said be alert that they have been outsourcing their production of some filters to China. BUYER BEWARE

True Texas Chili is without beans but make it the way you like it! Course ground beef or venison, Black Beans, green peppers and onion for me. The sweet corn thing sounds interesting !

I did some more local asking around and have gotten mixed info on if the Florida boys ever actually produced hulls. They wanted to but I personally never saw them with a mold. I know they had hulls for sale but who dad the laying up can’t say for sure. Late in the game they were displaying...
