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

Gonna try to myself but may have to work

Slidin I welded a bead around each end of the reducer to help prevent that from happeing

I got 2 scrap piece of stainless 3" of 1.75 and 3" of 1.5 and welded them together to make a reducer. Napa also has a 1.75 to 1.5 radiator hose.

Or have Cary Eide build you a radiator to your spec.

You do realize that this thread is from 2013 Most gearboxes come in several different ratio's 2:1, 2.09:1, 2.37:1, 2.55:1 and 2.68:1 there are some 2.88:1 as well. The gearbox, motor and prop need to all work together to achieve your goal. I personally run a shorter prop and was running a 2.68 recen...

In a 2 blade a 68",70 or 72" would work. I ran a 72lxl38 wide blade on my .020 over caddy 472. Wide 2 blade will give you push across the rpm range where a narrow 3 blade will have good snap and have a narrow rpm range more like an old 2 stroke motorcylce. I also ran a 72" 3 blade H on that caddy mo...

Barhopper thought is was you that mentioned the brass nylocks, just wasn't sure.

If you knew a guide from our area Captain Herb Wilkerson He passed away a few weeks ago. The Gulf Hammock Fishing Club is having a celebration of life for him Saturday starts at 11:00am all are welcome.

Someone on hear a while back mentioned they used brass nylock nuts to prevent galling. Haven't tried it myself but this is my 3rd year of fishing with my poly and it will have to be changed this summer.

I used corrosion X, but it is slippery if you get it on anything.

BTW if any of ya'll knew Captain Herb Wilkerson he passed away 2 weeks ago. He was a guide in the yankeetown to cedar key area for many years.

There is a Celebration of life at The Gulf Hammock Fish Club on Dec 14.. More information on the facebook gulf hammock fishing club site.

Looking forward to next week. My brother is coming in from Virginia on wed next week we are fishing thurs and fri. We did great 2 weeks ago caught 5 trout over 20" and a number of mid slot reds 1 26.5" fish. 1st negative tide I fished was rough on the boat I swear the rocks move from year to year lol.

Up pouring concrete early was nice and cool this morning can't wait til tomorrow hehe
