if you need to run dry or areas too shallow for a prop, less then 6-8 inches depth, get a airboat, and they are more fun. if you can limit to where there is minimum 6-8 inches of water, a surface drive will be a lot less expensive, better boat to actually hunt out of, and quieter, thus a better hunt...

My wife and I both wish the very best for our Southern Airboat friends over the next few days. What you will experience will be unimageionable for the rest of us who are in on site, in Florida. We experienced the best of Florida on our trip through the state, riding with some of you, attending the F...

Get well quickly Whitebear.

I also hunt, etc and keep a gun near the door just in case So by your hero Obama's point of view YOU are either 1) hunting the wrong thing and should not be able to buy guns Or 2) qualify in your advanced years as "mentally defective" and should not be able to buy guns Just a warning not to be surp...

Why would you think that, I also hunt, etc and keep a gun near the door just in case. Just a warning not to be surprised if Trump has a more moderate viewpoint and actions concerning our firearms.

I think Trump will surprise a few of you Trump lovers, Trump has said that he is in favor of restrictions to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have him, closing gun show loopholes, etc. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

SA has a forum called "Prop Talk" that would be a better place to post this, might get more response. But I tell you, I don't think near as many people utilize SA as did 5 years ago, mostly just the old farts on here now it seems

one motor I would suggest, a couple grand more expensive, is a MAS 383, its built for a airboat, will last for years of reliable airboat running, comes with a 2 yr warranty, and is in the 6k range complete, ready for your boat. you can go with bbc or sbc either way, headers won't swap out, but motor...

looks like fun, I need to try it sometime

and same to you 406 Jamie

with small companies, they often use your money to pay their own past due bills for other builds and other expenses that they have incurred. Anybody doing this with a company that needs cash flow during the build needs to set up a payment schedule with them ahead of time, paying a percentage as the ...

I'm glad it is not worse, could have been real bad.

I'M MOVING TO ALASKA !

the house almost next door to me is for sale, we can be neighbors, and only 5 miles from where Sara lives

sorry guys, i'll try and figure it out and repost

it works for me on my pc

hell, Alaska prices are usually much higher then yours, but last night I filled the tank at $2.58 gal

An 'old school' trick for wooden runners on a trailer deck is to get out your propane burner, drop three or four block of paraffin in a pot (you can find it at a lot of craft shops) and melt it down. Then, get a pretty good quality 4" disposable brush and somebody to help you. What you're gonna do ...

you really don't want a open boat for running on ice, etc. mine has a 2 speed red dot heater and when closed up can run me out of the boat in the coldest days. 30*f feels like way below 0 when being sucked past you by the big open props.....it is really cold

Glad to see that your trip went well and that you had a great time.

I believe MAS is still making a 572, and if they are, that would be the one to go with, hands down.

Weight is basicly the same, 496 stroker uses the same block, just bored out a bit more and stroked. If you go to search, Crowhater posted several years ago a parts list and build instructions for a very simple 496 with all new parts, etc that was a tried and proven set up for airboat, might do a sea...

Man I had no Idea they had areas in Alaska like that to ride in that was awesome almost like the Everglades with Mountains\ the Video was fantastic that's a nice area but pretty small, it is several lakes joined together by creeks and you can take a spin around each of them from end to end and be b...

I've got the garman 650T mounted on my dash, and very happy with it, however with my boat down from last august to last week, havn't had much use out of it. need to figure out how to work it and get the most from it. I know I can swap it easily from boat to atv to truck once I get more mounts for it...

Bud, some of us have become accustomed to your not reading entire threads and just showing up at the end with something that may or may not be relevant. Usually nobody comments when this happens. However, this time I can't help but point out that he was already up there three weeks ago now. :lol: M...
