Hey guys I’m new to the forum semi new to air Boating I’m purchasing an airboat that has a Russell knapp Continental 0520 on a Jimmy White Hull, I’m looking for some information on both Hall and Builder.

Both names are well known to those who've been around here a good while.
You should be in good shape on both counts, barring a dingbat getting involved along the way.

As always, exercising due diligence is preferred. If you don't know what you're looking at, get somebody who is.
Sometimes that six pack could be the best money you ever spent.

Thanks Deano! Another question I have… The tack is showing 16.2 hours on the gauge, the owner says he has owned the boat for a year, but has only used it a few times. He claims to have bought the boat just after the rebuild. The boat looks in great condition, motor is strong and smooth. Is it possible this is 16 hr motor?

I can believe that. 4-6 hours of run time is a typical full day. 16 gallons an hour wide open and all. The owner had run a few tanks through.

Why he don’t like the boat is a different question.
