Thank you and that's just want I needed to know. I have a call into him this morning but no call back yet. Someone said he was on vacation.

Has anyone had them build an airboat motor lately?

Thanks and I called and left a message.

Can someone give me Glen Treadwell's phone number? I want to check with him about possibly building me an engine.

Well said Deano! We must all Vote!

Please Vote if you haven't already!

Is all of 3A South still open?

Thanks for the link and it sounds like the gates are already open and it may be quite a while before the water goes down and we get back in 3A.

Can anyone tell me the location and site number of the gates that can't be opened until after July 15th?

Great looking airboat.
I'm looking to add an LED Light Bar to mine. Do you like yours? What brand and where did you get it if you don't mind?

I called FWC's South Regional office yesterday and was told alligator hunting and frogging is allowed in 3A South from airboats. Apparently the news release has it wrong.
I suggest you call and verify for yourself.

Thanks for the info. and I did check it out on Google Earth. Is there another area between there and Naples that's not closed you would suggest we ride? We've never been any where except 3A South.

Since 3A South is closed, a friend and I are thinking about leaving Naples and heading to 2A and ride a little. Never been there so any input on where to launch and which direction from there to do a day ride would be appreciated. Friends in town from up North and gotta take them riding.

Thanks guys. Sounds like good information he needed to know.

I have a friend with a stock 8.1 Levitator on a 15'8 Diamond Back and he's wondering if there is soft ware to re-tune and up the HP on it, and if so who can do it? I believe it's 425 HP now.
Thanks

Made it but I don't recommend it until there is more water. Ran dry from puddle to puddle. Doubt I could have gotten any farther North than the Crystal Palace.

I plan on launching at 40 Mile Bend tomorrow and see if I can make it as far North as the Crystal Palace area. Looks like it's coming a small shower out there now. Wish me luck.

Thanks for the update and hopefully you'll be able to report better news on Monday.

I have a precision and it rattles like a bucket of bolts at idle also. From what I know this is completely normal. They do use a special oil and you might want to check with the builder for the specs. on the oil. He advertises in Airboating Magazine and is very helpful.

I had the same problem with my 383 stroker. Changed spark plugs, and that fixed the problem.

Anyone know what the state is building at MM 52 on Alligator Alley and the L 28 canal? Looks like a parking area and boat ramp into L 28?

I just received notification from the Miccossukee that the area is now back open, and they would be making phone calls today.

I'll be there along with a couple of friends.

Anyone have any info on when the Miccosukee Area may open back up?

Hey Cowboy, no problem. I've unhooked the airboat and hooked up to the CC boat. It's cheaper to run anyway. I might go to 3A south tomorrow.
