How the bottom? Take a string or long straight edge and check the bottom for any hooks. If it’s straight it’s more than likely engine angle or weight distribution. If bottom is straight, and the cranks level with stringers, adjust rear of engine an 1/8 at a time and see if you find a sweet spot Or m...

Look around Swamp, they have already begun banning parts, and supplies. eBay don’t sell ANY ar parts now when weeks ago you could still get lower parts kits and barrels. Shits about to get stupid and if people don’t grow a set and stand up we’re all going to suffer.

Almost all shops will bend you hoops. You can supply the DOM if the shop doesn’t carry it. If you don’t have a jig or a buddy with one call a few shops and ask. I know gto, DB and others have pre bent hoops in stock and or will bend to specs if you need a different width, material, wall thickness etc.

Could be numerous things causing it or a combination of. There’s pages and pages of information on the topic on this forum on just about every style of hull/set up. Properly tuned hull will not need a trim tab. I’d hit the search block and read up your answer is in there.

Prototype- why the **** do you always gotta get on talking shit to everyone? Every post you comment on has some negative comments. Your a fuckin punk piece of shit that needs tuned up. You want some smoke step you fuckin sorry ass peckerwood mother ******, I’ll be glad to be the mechanic.

My apologies digggin didn’t realize it was a different power plant. Again bohawg, I haven’t had any issues with mine and a ton of people I know running same have had same experience. It’s a good motor almost all of FWC runs the same engine as well as countless search and rescue boats across the coun...

I’ve never had an issues out of mine either, however if I was to buy a new power plant it would not be a GM crate motor with hypereutectic pistons and powder metal rods, for the same price he can get a purpose built all forged motor with a warranty, something levitator doesn’t offer they only cover ...

I have one FWIW the levitator isn’t anything more than a GM crate engine with PCM/Levitator electronics, powder coated with a overweight engine cover and a pretty sticker. Don’t get me wrong it’s a work horse and they run damn good however I don’t like that it’s nothing more than a GM crate engine, ...

Swamp, that’s because DeSantis is too busy jerkin off that POS Ron Bergeron.

Ban the airboat under those grounds and you ban all watercraft.

A bit more information to work with would be helpful. What engine? What prop? Direct drive or box if so what ratio? What rpm? Is this issue new? What size hull? Is your crank parallel with stringers? Does the boat plow or porpoise in deep water? Many variables come into play and the more information...

There’s a 76’ 500 cid Cadillac on SA Facebook, 500 bucks it’s in Dunedin, fl grab it for parts

What is your desired outcome? What are you wanting out of the airboat? Want more hp? Trying to run the hill? Power plants on airboats IMO are very specific to the application which you plan to utilize it. My boat for example is a 16x8 Diamondback 2:1 belt drive, 6.0L pcm/levitator. It’s not uncommon...

He didn’t ask which gas to use for stainless or say he was GTAW anything. Rick stated given this equipment and these two gases which should he use. Out of the two stated gases and his Pro Mig 135 the C25 is the best choice. Obviously if he was going to TIg it 100% argon is the right choice. Had ever...

Outstanding job Smokster! I left Citrus County Airboat Alliance because they would rather vote to donate money to help a member’s granddaughter start a modeling career, rather than use the club funds to fight things like this. This is exactly why we have the clubs not for popularity or a status. May...

The 100% Argon will not weld good. If it was me and those two were my choices I’d use the 75/25, it will rust but not much and not like carbon steel but the CO2 introduces impurities should be no problems as it’s not a structural piece from what I gather. With CO2 run your machine 3-5% higher

They built me a tandem axle for my 16x8. Excellent quality. Only complaint I have is I’ve split the board on my front stop three times now. So I’m thinking of getting a 1” rubber pad to bolt there.

Per the owners manual that’s the preferred WOT maximum RPM. The optimal RPM range at WOT is 4800- 5600, 5200 being preferred by PCM/Levitator. Without a prop it’s max rpm is governed @6000.

GTO in Ocala has three or four of them pre wired gauges whole nine.

Nebraska- Sensenich states 2300 max rpm for the S optimum rpm is 1800-2100 for best over all performance. 2300 with your 2.5 box puts engine rpm at 5750.

I run a PCM 6.0L, published Hp is 375, ch3 2:1 spinning a 80” 3 blade sensenich K series. Blades 12” wide and ain’t got much pitch them runs well but struggles sometimes. Not seeing how you would twist it with your set up with any pitch at all especially within the blades preferred rpm range.

In 7 days gator season opens and a lot of fishing and frogging! I don’t hunt Deer or hogs here in Florida too many idiots and rules.

I’m sure sliding gator or Kwan will chime in, also hit the search function on the site or just type in your questions in google like “gso480 Running temp southern airboat” “ gso480 oil temp or pressure southern airboat” you’ll get more information than you’ll want to read in one sitting. There’s a l...

Pm me I’ll shoot you an overlay from 44 ramp to hotdog island

Stock, is a fool’s errand. The LS platform isn’t able to sustain the thrust pressure from prop force. You are going to destroy your 6.0L especially if this is a engine you are planning to run later with a gear box. Dave (Waterthunder) had a DD LS some years back he had to develop a proprietary thrus...
