WHAT'D YALL THINK

SAFARI RICK

Well-known member
FIRST OFF I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO RUNS AND USE'S THIS WEB SITE. I'VE LEARNED ALOT JUST FROM READING MOST OF THE POST'S AND REPLY'S. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH BOATS AND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY THE BUG AND DECIEDED IT WAS TIME TO GET A BOAT. I BOUGHT A FRIENDS OLD DIRECT DRIVE 350 WITH THE SOLE INTENTIONS OF STRIPPING IT DOWN AND STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH. ONLY PLANNING TO USE THE HULL AND MOTOR. WELL I FINALLY GOT THE MOTOR (MOST OF THE WAY) FINISHED AND AM NOW IN THE PROSSES OF GETTING IT RIGGED OUT. I HAVE POSTED SOME PICTURES IN MY PHOTO GALLERY AND WAS HOPEING SOME OF YOU WOULD CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK. I'M GOING TO DOCUMENT THE WHOLE PROCESS AND POST IT IN MY PHOTO GALLERY. AFTER I GET IT UP AND RUNNING (AND LEARN TO DRIVE IT COMFORTABLY) I'LL MAKE IT TO ONE OF THE RUNS.I MAY OF WENT OVER BOARD FOR A FIRST BOAT.THANKS FOR ANY INPUT SAFARI RICK
 
Looks good so far. I didn't see a box or belt drive though? what kinda prop, what size hull? what kinda riggin?

Be careful, be very careful, the AIRBOAT BUG will eat you out of house and home and even if you get rid of the boat all you gotta do is hear one in the distance and wham its back again.

Looks as if you got it bad already but don't despair it gets much worse trust me I am very aware.

Good luck and GIT R DONE
 
THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AFTER I WAS DONE. I HAVE A 2.37-I ROTATOR WITH A 6 BLADE WARP DRIVE GOING ON A 12FT ALLUMINOM HULL. BOX TUBE RIGGING WITH A CONDUIT CAGE. WILL POST MORE PICS AS THINGS GET DONE.

MATT THANKS FOR PUTTING THE LINK ON HERE, DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT MYSELF. I AM PUTTING MUFFLERS ON AND WHEN IT GETS CLOSER TO BEING FINNISHED I'LL BE ASKING FOR ADVICE ON ROUNDING THE BLADES ON THE WARP DRIVE. LAST THING I WANT IS TO BE THE NEW GUY WITH THE LOUDEST BOAT.
