New to all this, never even been in an airboat before. But picked up a project about a month ago, just seemed kind of neat. Put a couple pictures in the gallery. Don't yet know how to post one on here.
I've already read some good information on here that I hope will help getting mine running.
Here's what I have so far. Boat in the pictures is about 12 feet long but narrow, about 38 inches on bottom. It came with a 400 cc snowmobile engine that needed a lot of work and parts really hard to come by for. I'm going to start with a 13 hp electric start Honda clone and a 36"x 14, 4 blade prop. Both of these came pretty cheap, so that's my starting point. Also, don't know how the hull will handle being narrow as it is.
Looking forward to learning a lot more about this new hobby.
