Best money to spend would be on a 2:37 belt drive some of the later models you can swap out the gears.

Call Century

I run a 03 6.0 on a 14x7-6 SS rigging and a hybrid cage. 2.55 oxbox with a 81.5 R blade set just before pitch mark3 - motor turns 5200. All of the stuff I have done had been on 02-04 genIII engines built on a super tight budget. Motor is a stock bottom end unknown milage, I did inspect the bottom en...

What is the prop length from tip to center of the hub, what is your WOT rpm and what pitch mark the blades set on?

You could also call Century and see if your belt-drive house will work with a 2.37:1 gear set

Proto Op said was told stock 03 from a Vette. Offered factory HP for both models of vette motor for that year. It did appears he may not know what motor he, so I offered up a few item to help figure out the base motor he was working with. If it was an iron block it did not come from a corvette plus ...

Pics are fine and I understand Working with what you have within a budget. 1st it looks heavy. has a lot of nose weight with all the lights, has rod boxes and look like an extra rod box. Think the radiator looks very close to the prop. Hard to get clean air that way. My thoughts are the radiator dow...

Well if it is an 03 From a corvette they offer 2 options ls1 and LS6. Both are aluminum block, so if is an iron block it is not an LS1 or LS6. Main difference is heads and cam. Factory rating ls1 350hp LS6 400hp. You have no Power steering pump or A/C so maybe a tad over those numbers. IF the heads ...

Yes sir need a little bit more info and maybe a few pics. Hartlines were originally built for the gulf, they are heavy and have a 2degree v at the rear to help them track. That is if I can remember correctly. Buddy C1gator has a 16' x8 hartline has poly with a stock ls1 2.55 stinger and a 82" waterw...

On the facebook version of SA Guy just posted a 500 for 500.00 Charles Franklin

I had a .020 over 472 with small chambers heads, a little work for flow and compression. Ran a Small Cap MSD dist., MSD box and spent a bit of time dialing in the tune. It was on a 14x7-6 alumitec with SS rigging for the gulf.

That motor turned out very strong but had to run mixed fuel.

I ran a caddy on a 15' Hoffman rivermaster for a few years. The rivermaster just did not hold up to the rocky area I fished on the gulf. I bought a 14x7-6 Alumitec hull. Ran better but sat lower in the water, didn't seem to float as well. I met marty at hagan's cove right after he built the 18' boat...

Check the crank end play. If it was a DD airboat motor they are hard on the thrust bearing.

The Falcon I believe max out at 2450. With a 1.9 at 5,000 engine rpm your turning the blades 2632 rpm. 4,700 with a 1.9 ration put you at 2474. You said you still you still had pedal left at 5,000 so you're turn those blades over there max. I would see determine my WOT rpm. Then make your prop with ...

Just to ask what is the gear ratio you're running what prop and length and what is your current WOT?

mako hose or midwest control products or any of the bigger airboat companies. Hamant or alumitec

mako has a pto cable that has 8' of travel like a teleflex cable.

Any of the 70-74" 2 Blade prop Don't know that there to many out running. FYI you can gain compression by swapping to set of 706 heads. On my 6.0 (gearbox motor) I took the 2.00 intake valve out of the 317 head that came on the 6.0 and had them put in my 706. 317 has a 70cc chamber where the 706 is ...

Yes sir swamp that's the one Chris builds.

Airboatstuff.com Smuggler on here makes a nice complete kit. On a buddies boat we put a carb Plenum with 3" dia opening then a 90 down an put a 3" K&N cone style. Spectre Performance Carbureted Air Intake Plenums 9849 I use the 10" edlebrock air cleaner but the filter is only 2" tall. I found a wix ...

Dewayne Hobkirk over near inverness
Will PM you his number
GTO had some as well

Barhopper redid my poly in march, Whata pain. And yes sir been catching a number of 12"-22" snook. Both north and south, what's interest up north more so in the sandy creeks and down south out around the bars. Was jigging with a green lantern. A few of the kicker boat guys caught their limit in trou...

We did ok this weekend caught 5 reds over 30" and some nice snook. 1 22" trout.

Met him a few times great guy and always had a good story to tell.

What area do you fish?I I fish the waccasassa bay area It is a little more rocky (nasty sharp rocks I get about 3 years out of my 3/8") and the water is not as clear as north and south of that area. I fish out of a small fishing club just purchased by one of the SA members dad. He has spent a good d...

Any of the bigger Florida builders should have one
Hamant
Alumitec
GTO
Jernigan's

We sent up a buddies boat with a 81" 3 blade maximus he runs a stock carbed l33 5.3 with a 2.55 gearbox, runs fairly well. With another 100 hp it would run great. It is on a heavy 14' alumitec deckover round sided boat. On thing I will say it runs the water loaded for fishing at 3,800-4,000 and will...
