What to look for

[Jason Allen]

I am looking at a 13' Panther with a Lycoming O-320/160 hp. I have no experience with airboats or aircraft engines. What are some things to look for when I am checking the boat out?

engine check the compression, oil leaks, etc.... the hull I assume is aluminum check the stringers aren't bent look for stress cracks or broken welds along the stringers under the the bow and along the sides

These are just things I would look at not expecting to see any problems but I would check
