I got this boat for dirt cheap and it has been sitting a while. My daughter used it as a playhouse (lol) I figure if she likes playing captain maybe she would like to ride in it some day. She's 2 so pretty much would hand me the (wrong) tools. Haha... to the boat...
I think it's a 70s aircat hull. Looked like maybe a turn table? Has continental 4 cyl. Was told the engine would be too small. Think I gotta redo the seating and build cage anyhow so repower? Just looking for advice cause I have never seen a hull like this before. (And it's my first airboat project but have driven a few different styles. Loved the 540 lycoming)
Options (try the continental and pray) or...
Have a 350 Corvette engine that ran but smoked like all hell OR have a chevy 468 that needs to be finished (think it's just a 2 bolt main tho)
What do you fellas think? Go with it or start from scratch (other plan was a custom 2 seater hull gsxr 600+ mini)
I guess the goal would be to run dry with 2 people either way. (We don't carry much other than a cooler)
Tried to upload pics so let's see...
