Hurricane Fiberglass Tomcat Aircat Airboats

Well now you don't have to be all bummed out about selling your Aircat. You can get it back and buy one on E-Bay:

I bought one of these boats on craigslist, its my first airboat and it came with a custom trailer and a 455 Oldsmobile engine, not the greatest boat in the world but it has sure been fun.
I would like to see/save the brosure but the link no longer works would you mind sending it to me!

Thanks Mark.

oh yeah I have had the boat all of 6 months now and have spent a small fortune on it, well in my books anyway. had the hull stripped down and gone over with new glass, poly bottom, engine gone thru (minor), just ordered a Stinger 255-1 with Sens S Three blades, that is after i tried the H blades and they would not run dry.

like i said it has been fun but I wish i had known then what i know now, i would have bought a nicer one from the start.

oops, again sorry for the delay :roll:
I got the Poly on with an extreme amount of patience, dilegence, and several choice words during the process :lol:
I will attempt to attach a photo below, but I am still not finished with it!

Had a lot of fun with this boat back in the day, Scott Reynolds (Gordon’s) Son & I rebuilt this one 65 hp Continental. Added a Toyota starter that worked perfect.

Sorry to say Gordon & Mrs Reynolds have passed away not long ago. Loved to hear his stories & history of the war days. One amazing guy. RIP Gordon ❤️
