I've been searching and reading through the forum trying to get some answers on what engine I need on my airboat. What I have now;
sbc 383,stinger 2.38, Sensenich 82" r 3 blade, pushing a 20' Maxcraft full deckover (3300lbs no one in it),poly fair shape bottom, hull little beat up. The motor is blown. I run lakes and rivers bowfishing in Tx. The boat would jump pretty quick on a plane in deep water but going over ground was out of the question. The combination with the small block I'm not happy with. I have a 489 bbc not put together, would this be any better? Don't want to keep trying different combos, don't really want to buy another gear box and prop. Any help would be great! Thanks
