I cover mine to the to the chine.
I use ratchet straps and a 2x4 on each side pull it to the hull.

Most speed shops carry VP racing fuel. VP has several different products that will work. Including some that are unleaded for those running an oxygen sensor.

Rollins in Gainesville has VP fuel.

If I were looking for a fiberglass hull this would be my list All other them build a hull that would handle a 6.0 but each hull drives a little different in my opinion. Havik - Woods & Water - Paul Jackson 863-287-2069 Marsh Master - Jimmy White Ricochet - Lorne Hooker 863-855-0425 Marty Bray also c...

Not exactly an answer to you carb question My 2 cents would be 1st determine if it is a LQ4 or LQ9, both were in an Escalade. The LQ9 is same basic motor with flat top pistons give it more compression. If it is an lq4 I would find a sent of 706 5.3 heads that can be had cheap. The 706 heads has a sm...

For cables check out Mako Hose or Midwest Control Products. Make sure you get the same throw - 6 or 8" in steering cable.

Each blade has a sweet spot for tip speed in mph. To me that comes from matching engine rpm, gear ratio and blade length with enough pitch to be efficient.

HDsadey What did you think of the molnar quality. I have heard and read good thing but not seen one in person. Thinking about Molnar for my LS 408 stroker. No offense taken. That's what I love about airboating so many different possibilities and combinations. We always pull them down to a short bloc...

I got less than 8200.00 in my junkyard LS 6.0 gearbox and prop. It has over 100hrs on it and had unknown milage when I bought it. The 5.3 I ran at 1st had 113k on it plus over 600 hrs between 2 different boats. Don't get me wrong I was a tried and true DD caddy guy for over 10 years. But after messi...

Yep they make the best airboat trailer on the market.

Someone makes a green belt that is talked about a lot on the lsa forum. Might be worth checking into, as it is supposed to better/ heavy-duty Think it is a gates belt

I have an old 76 CSX handheld waterproof floats and can take a beating. At least 10 yrs old and falling into the bottom of the boat and water countless times. Has a small screen but is tough as nails.

Very Cool

GTO has built a few. I actually got a chance to drive this boat. Drove like a bus but had loads of power

Drywall Supply places usually have 10' sticks of 9 and 11ga galvanized hanger wire. I also use the smallest zip ties to hold the wires in place to get layout done then go back and weld/braze each intersection.

If engine runs on check that carb butterfly's are properly adjusted (most are not) and if you have a power valve make sure it is not blown.

If you do not have a motor, I would look at an ls motor before I used a sbc. A stock 5.3 and a cam change will get you 375-400hp. Headers and accessories are about the same cost. I have a 5.3 that had 113K on it in the truck and has over 600hrs between to different boats. Both are heavy gulf fishing...

My 2 cents take a maker and mark current pitch then i would be to change the pitch and take it fro a ride. Take your tools with you and changed the pitch a few times and see what works best for your set-up. To me you have to find the sweet spot between snap and push/ cruise rpm. Also remember that w...

When I was a kid we use to run from lake monroe to silver glen. I would say it is not airboat friendly. Now lake washington to lake harney wouldn't be so bad. Pull out there then hit lake george and run the springs juniper (where the lake county airboat club hangs out) silver glenn and salt springs.

Very familiar with e-tickets lol
Grew up around the windermere disney area. Could ride the orange grove from the house to clermont and only cross to hard road. My dad have pasture and orange grove that back-up to disney.

Good times.

Yes mako makes a nice all stainless PTO style cable with 8" of throw. I ordered one from them I showed up when they said I would. Also good customer services I called and asked the same question many others do and they were very helpful.

Yes.For a throttle cable you shouldn't need more then 3-5 inches. Midwest Control products sells an All Stainless Quick disconnect ball joint.

If you use teleflex cable the make 2 types related to the bending radius of the cable. Make sure you get the correct one for your application.

One thing to check is the caps on the vacuum ports. The black rubber caps don't last very long. I use the silicon style and just had to replace one one those. If you are running a holley this is from Holley website A. FUEL PRESSURE: This carburetor has been designed to work best at fuel pressures be...

My H blades pushed best at 2950 but would make your ears bleed. I would mess with the pitch a little to find the sweet spot for you setup. I spent a day on the lake adjusting the pitch a little at a time to find where mine performed the best.

What pitch make are you on to spin it 2800
