Same as any other airboat trailer. No difference

I second that

It’s a 220 on a deck over hull.

I love little 4 cyl boats. I also had a 160 h2ad like Ricks but it was on a 12’ triple W Hull. I frogged ,gator hunted, and rode just about everywhere I wanted and hardly burnt any fuel. But... the one thing I never could do was go fast. So if your looking for a fast 4cyl combo I would recommend a 1...

There’s no spacers on mine either. Mine has a 540 crank,cut down 540 cylinders, and a pretty rank cam.
Don’t know what rods he used. But it never gets too hot. Here’s a pic of the cyl length and current oil cooler set up

Im currently running a short jug 540. They are interesting motors. They are a high reving motor. From 2700-3400 They are a rank. Depending what cam you have and if it has 480 vs cut down 540 cylinders. They like the higher rpms vs the lower.

No he has passed

Here’s a couple more pics along with “THE MAN “ himself. The step guru Larry Williams.

I know this thread is old but with the recent activity I figured I’d update it. We ended up finding the kamikaze thanks to Bruce and tony480 ‘s info. Larry Williams and I went and got it and redid it a few years back. It’s been in a few shows and is now owned by someone else. Here is a pic after is ...

Welcome. That place is paradise. Nothin else like it if you ask me.

Getting low but still rideable

Rhotenberger is a WMA next to Holey land south of lake O. Sometimes there’s water and sometimes not. Depends on SFWMD

This is what an angle valve looks like

But different pistons or stoking it elec ignition etc. there's lots you can do to change hp

Around 150

That is a 290 ground power case. Where the flange is cut around the crank gives it away. It was a solid lifter motor, hence the oil lines added. That sump is a common one people would add to those cases in order to put an up draft carb on it. Original had a downdraft carb on it. The tag on it has no...

The only 14' ive seen in person has a supercharged geared AC on it. It has full stainless metal work. side by side seating with seating up front also. And it still would walk away from the two 12' steps we were running with him. One had a 470 and the other a 540 both carb. The two 12' are true 70-80...

I would if I had a step right now. Traded my last boat for a flats boat.

Because a step hull rides on two points instead of one big spot it puts a lot of wear on those two points when you run the hill a lot. Doesn't mean you can't tho. Especially if your good with glass.

If you get the chance to ride on a step I would encourage you to do so. They are fast free and slide. And easy to deck over. They were built to run down south but they drive different in that you drive with your foot a lot more then other types.

If your wanting a light, free riding, sliding, deck over that is fiberglass, it's gonna be real hard to improve upon a decked over fiberglass step. A round bottom hull isn't gonna ride Anywhere close to a flat bottomed or a step hull. What your describing is basically why a step was Ever built in th...

Deuce they let us know about it at work last week. Said it was FWC initiated.

Cause we live in fla. lol

Since no one on here knows wild man and I actually do and have actually ridden on the boat and know the motor and I also know that he's busy working 16 hour days trying to restore everyone's power so that they can watch all the football games this season I'm going to bat for him and tell y'all that ...
