thats one way that will work. i always hang plump bobs at front of motor and at rear dead center of crank shaft and dead center of something in front. then find dead center of boat, run you a mark front to back on botom of boat, then line them plumb bobs up with it. other wise your boat will want to...

we are still out there but were a dieing breed. it's a shame, it ain't just the marsh it's everywhare.

ya know when ya slide it sideways it's gonna make a funny sound. and if it gets air under it someones gonna say pussy fart.

not to beat a dead horse it's FRANNY TAYLOR, and no they haven't been built in years but of the 3 iv'e owened ya coulden't kill them. thats why their still around.

i'm oldtimer to don't care for rap, but these boys are not stealing our trucks, or robbing.your house they are doing the sa
me as we did when we was young HAVEING FUN and not hurting anyone else. give'em credit.

thats the life in the glades, getten some cooter on a rainy day.

had same problem with holly carb. they are great for every aplication until you bump a wall in raceing or running dry in a boat if you don't put a bafle kit in it to keep the fuel from sloshing around in rough use they will make the floats stick and gas pour out.

but remember this was not some guy speeding down the road, this was a man takeing the time to speend and educate his family on the greatness of the glades. unlike most that would be on the golf course away from family. and the kids playing vidio games in foront of the tv. my hats of to this man for ...

good thing he popped ya than another airbort on a blind turn that coulden't see ya because you didn't have a flag.. he didn't popp you he proably saved your and someone elses life. but i am happy you were as respectfull to him as he was to you, a sign of a real airboater.

i'm an old timer, back years ago the law didn't have airboats, someone got lost or whatever a deputy would come to my house and ask for help, we would round up afew airboaters and get the job done. never gave them or the rescuey a bill, didn't even ask for gas money. because thats what real airboate...

all of these post are really bad things that can happen, but mine is the worst that can happen to anyone of us " i have NO boat right now " now thats catastrofic.

for those involved in any lack of respect for the land or it's animals or people that use it you will never see your name in the REAL AIRBOATERS list, and god help you if a real airboater finds you.

have ya been in the marsh siting and enjoying the senery, and a boat goes by and turns around to see if your ok. you just met a real airboater. have ya seen a boat with full trash bags heading in with other peoples trash. you just seen a real airboater. have ya seen a airboat parked so he would not ...

your not alone on this one. can't trust friend, family. get more honesty from an enemy because they don't care what they say. damm shame. but just know you were once few now you are amongst many.

to me it's god, family, glades, and country. love them and protect them.

i was 2 my son was 2 my grand kids was 2. we all still hear, all never been aressted, all responsable working people. i thank god. and age 2.

i told ya she'ed float and she will carry the mail. but she's best at carrying the female's. like they love fast cars they love fast boats. all 3 have got me in trouble. loved every min. of it.

looks like a 375 h&h. that has enough recoil to knock your top off. would have to see from front to be sure.

703cid, 430hp, that was the numbers on mine, now if ya played with it you can go higher. but that was stock, and was happy with it. so i didn't want to mess with perfection.

happy,happy,happy glad you got her running. did you get the old 4barl intake when you got motor? if you did ya might want to try it if your not happy with a/c carb. performance or milage. i only used holly 750 because first 8 i had the stock zenith on it and it drank fuel. switched to 4barl and reje...
