Camp Mack is where I go, its got about everything you need, hotel-restaurant-store-gas-multiple lakes. I
love it, its perfect for airboating and fishing!

Don't know the builder, but it was built to go in a "Tractor Pulling Truck" but they never ran it, and the guy needed some money and now its on an airboat, and we are trying to guess by the RPM and gear ratio and pitch what its making.

My father-in-law put a new BBC with an OX-Drive 2.55-1 turning a 80" 4-blade "R" at the 3.5mark and he's turning 5300rpm WOT, any guess as how much HP. he's putting out?

Ohhhhh Yeaaaaa!!!!!!!!
I agree with James need a good carbon fiber prop to find the sweet spot!

??????

I have a sbc about 400hp. and mine turns a 2.68 OX Drive and a 80" 3 blade R. pitched at 3 turning 5600rpm.
Does a great job for me .

Hey Dave, What gear ratio are you turning those "R" Blades with?

Id like to say "THANKS" to "Dan The Airboat Man" for all the tech support and taking time to answer questions that we have thrown at him about prop size and pitch,etc, And also for building a very well-made and incredibly - quiet gearbox (Ox-Drive). I have owned several different gearboxes (K-way,Ro...

Look-up "Cooper River Mudfest" on Youtube for videos on the sunday run. Its not so much as a sponsored event but just a bunch people with surface-drive boats showing-off and having a great time in shallow water. I think last year was the first time any one brought an airboat, and we really put on a ...

There were three airboats there last year, 1 was mine. This year I think there will be 5 in our group going.
Look up "Sparkleberry duck run 2012" on youtube , were in one of those videos.

Oh yea!!!!!! Went to both last year, had a blast both days, and lots of HOTTIES and beautiful senery! Look up "Sparkleberry duck run" on youtube and you will see what its all about. The Mud Run on the cooper river is lots of fun running the shallows in the mud flats "Old Rice Fields". We'll be there...

What happened Junglecat? Which engine came apart?

I'm looking to find out when the next big ride or run is planned anywhere in Florida. Me and some budds here in SC. would like to plan a trip and join in on a ride. I've been looking at the planned events calender and not seeing much in the next couple of months.

Welcome to SC., There are a couple good places to ride in that area that I'm familiar with, The Congaree River is the best place in my opinion "Lots of shallow water" and its about 10 minutes from Fort Jackson. The Wateree River is another its about 30 minutes away, Be careful on the lakes in that a...

Go on the ZEPHYR 40 site and buy one of their kits for polishing and follow the instructions, worked for me.

This is how we do it SC.
The only problem is getting them back!!!

It should fit right in place, they both have the same bolt patterns for mounting.

I saw last night on the local news [wistv.com] here in SC. that a manatee had been found in Lake Marion which is approx. 60-70 miles from the coast. Thats ODDD!

Almost finished with mine, here's some pics, What do you think?[img][img]
