Maximus blades will provide thrust from a lower rpm vs JX. All of the J series blades seem to be designed to spin easier at low blade RPM and then come in/on from there to end up at similar max thrust capabilities. Imagine this is to help with people know as "snap". Your big block doesnt lack...

Well, reality is there is not a lot of benefit to run a Di engine vs an EFI one in an airboat application. Sure, some fuel economy is possible. Beyond that, pretty much nada. A 3.5L Turbo is going to produce 500hp in its sleep via EFI, so, build the engine, or buy one from the bone yard and...

Some things to strongly consider. Aluminum has terrible fatigue properties and thus isnt often used for engine stands that carry 100% of the thrust loads. Alum also returns to the annealed state (T0) in the hear affected zones where it was welded. Losing most of its strength. Pillow block...

Its UHMW, so will be similar to most others. They don't claim any special additives or hybrid material formulation, so just the normal stuff. Likely priced accordingly vs the specialized versions from other manufacturers. Good luck!

While this post is pretty old, since you are looking, here is a company that makes products to help with mounting trolling motors. Www.shuttleslide.com

Smells like a bot post to me. Dont think anyone turns a 220gpu that kind of RPM. Book on a PE150 says 2400 rpm typical if I remember that far back.

4 falcon = 3 maximus. Actually, 4 falcon is slightly more overall, but its close. I have done the exact swap testing on my boat in the past. Agree Max is an awesome prop, but 4 falcon can produce 1800+ lbs of thrust too.

Highest push point ever

Well, there is a good reasonI vomit even thinking about that D bag @ Trifecta. Best if you just cut the cord now if you like the boat amd wish to keep running that 1.8L. I dont know exactly which 1.8 you have, but i suspect its EFI and not DI injection. If it is in fact EFI, you can control...

LSJ / B207 are just EFI engines vs Direct Injection (Di). Most everything else is similar or identical. Being EFI makes them, quite literally, 1000 times easier to setup / tune. What you lose by going EFI instead of Di is some fuel economy and low rpm power. Thats it. So, run a 2.68 or...

https://www.carbonconceptslwf.com/blades I have run those and many others on my 2.0 liter ecotec since 2012. I always come back and stick with the Max. It just has the widest thrust curve in my experience. It will cruise from low 2000 and still provide plenty of top end. The 3 blade 80 inch...

JR blades have minimal low prop rpm thrust in my experience. I think that they would be a poor match for a broad power curve motor such as yours. Sure, they will work fine. But your cruise rpm will be way higher than it would be otherwise with a different prop choice. I would obviously run...

Black nylon, 75lb min, tie wraps work great. No way the wire is coming off and doesn't rattle even a little. 6061 alum cage + 3/16 ss wire on half my cage with 1/8th on the upper half. Zero issues....zero bent wires too. Cage minus the wire was 30lbs or so total. I am not exactly a stick...

You can run the glades from this launch location. Dropped pin https://maps.app.goo.gl/p1Zbx2w6mfF2GvDY9 or you can run lake Trafford in Immokalee (it's obvioualy much smaller area,, but closer) Peace river to the north is an option as well i believe. weavers bend probably not accessible any...

Thanks for providing that information. Good luck with growing the business. I sincerely hope its a roaring success.

Ok, this is typical of a "bot" reply you made here. We already covered that NO ONE runs HDPE on their airboat. Continuing to say the same things as before about OceaPoly lasting 4 times longer than HDPE is.....annoying? My neck hairs were raised with the original "buy my product" type posts...

42 psi of boost? I would like to see a picture of that....

Well, let's get one thing cleared up for everyone here. Almost no one uses HDPE on their airboat to begin with. High Density polyethylene. What everyone uses is UHMWPE. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. So, while your product may be quite nice, it will in no way last 4x as long...

Something to keep an eye on with low displacement high rpm engines is the required power curve of your propeller of choice vs the power curve of your engine. Most engine combinations have sufficient power at low to mid rpm to power a prop through that region. However, if your power curve is...

Will have to add 4 small wheels and then you can classify it properly for what they really are. All Terrain Vehicle No longer mislabeled a boat, problem solved.
