Thanks, That was my thoughts but I needed to hear it else where so I didn't blow up from worrying instead of the engine blowing,lol

If you have a fuel mixture control on the carburetor then make sure that if it is tied off that it hasn't came loose and leaned the carb out . That could cause a problem, my 470 wouldn't start one day and the carburetor throttle pump went bad, still squirted fuel but not hard enough to get up into e...

Could someone tell me on this engine if it is normal to have a very light slack movement when you turn the end of the crank by hand . It will have no slake in one direction but I can feel a slight no pressure movement when I try to move the crank the other direction. doesn't matter which way you tur...

I was hoping to find someone closer to okeechobee but may have to go the extra miles

Does Lynn do other boat seats beside airboat?

I called Michelle about doing 4 seat cushions on a pontoon plus doing the 3seats on one airboat and if she did good work I had seats on another airboat I was going to let her do. On the pontoon cushions I just wanted a one color material and just done good enough to get it by to fish on but she acte...

Could someone give me an update on GMAC for I have been up north working and haven't had time till now to get on the site to see what is going on but have been concerned about how he is doing for he is a super great individual who I highly respect and last I read was he was out of the hospital and w...

I saw Trump's shadow this morning so that mean's 4 MORE YEARS doesn't it?

I have a hamatt boat(may be misspelled) that I would like to put a brush guard on but don't have experience to build one so wondered if anyone had one that might fit that wouldn't hit the pocketbook too hard like the manufactures.

Anyone heard anymore concerning Gregg?

What is decent price now?

Man I'm sorry to hear GMAC is sick. I've been working up north and haven't been here for awhile. I will definitely be praying for him, GREAT GUY

I'm using it to make bushings for a lawn mower, and machining a couple Idler pulley's for the drive pumps which have a bearing pressed into each of them.

Anyone know where I can buy 3 inch Delrin rod near Okeechobee, Fl

Why not consider a 7.3 diesel

I have a 16 ft. hamant aluminum boat that I have been checking for two years trying to find something I would be comfortable with putting on the bottom without going to poly so keep us informed about this stuff.

Skunkape; I have the same boat you have but setup for 9 people. I was wondering what you have on your bottom for protection. Ive never tried to run my boat up onto dry ground for its got a continental 470 6cylinder angle valve with a two blade synsenich prop but don't remember the length but it is a...

Dodobird;Do you have any kind of spray system on your boat to wet the ground in front under you

Thanks dodobird;Your boat looks lot like mine other than my rigging sets lot lower as far as seat setup. I'll start looking for drive setup and prop.

Old timers didnt run barges...lol And they ran light boats with aircraft engines, which is old technology that will do what you’re asking. Formula for success never changes. 6lbs of boat to 1hp and you will have an adequate performance experience. move that to 4lbs per 1hp and it's a do all machine...

I didn't think a 12 Ft fiberglass with 2 seats was considered a barge but then what do I know and that's why I'm asking questions. I do see where the aircraft engine would make a difference , in probably weight and hp.
