Another SA icon gone but not forgotten. RIP

Sad to hear....A staple of this forum for many years, always respected his opinions. Prayers sent to family.

Diamondback recommended a 13 X 7'6 ultralite for my 520 conversion. Gonna get the entire boat built around my motor. Single side by side operator with center console with a triple front seat. Stainless rigging. I hope it runs like the wind.

Cancel all, I was able to dig out and break loose.

Thanks, gerald

12am trying to dig out but no luck, if anyone out here has a strong boat I'm about 20 yards from water. Probably going to camp at the pavilion here if can't get out. I have a long rope but not sure how strong it will hold up. Service is bad on phone. Thanks Gerald. Number to this phone is 863-242-8388

Take it Jeffords Airboats in Winter Haven and be done with it. 520 conversion still runs like new 2 years later. Call 863-956-3030 for your questions. See the before and after photo!

No need for slick bottom now....just take that huge can of worms and tape to bow and let the worms fall in front of the boat lol. Probably better than a sprayer system. Seriously though I'm probably going to try the Quick Slick when I remove my poly.

RIP my friend, only knew him from the forum but he has helped me a few times and I always enjoyed his post on here. He would tell it like it was and I had a lot if respect for him just from the way he come off in his post. Wish I could have met him a time or two. Gerald :florida: :rebel: :old_glory:

I'll be camping out in Kissimmee somewhere with the wife and kids, probably spend an hour picking up glass, trash and cans just so it wont get stepped on by my polkster redneck kids.....since they dont like to wear shoes. To many Dumb Azzes that buy airboats that should have just stayed on their pon...

That boat is still for sale! Can't believe it's still available. That's 540/palm beach setup is sweet. Saw it run a while back.

That sucks to drop a new wood prop and that happen, bet you were pissed for sure. But maybe that's a sign or something? Hell just have a little patience and watch the prop classified ads for a good deal on a carbon fiber. Seems with the new super duper NGQ that's going to take the top spot for a whi...

RIP Prayers sent for all. Sad news.

Me either lol. That boat already goes anywhere, u just let that sticky green get to you.

Tom Jeffords just did mine, runs awesome looks bad azz.

I was running a 72 whisper tip narrow and it did really good on my 220. I went to a 520 conversion and thought I was going to have to sale or trade from thinking it wasn't going to be enough prop but I got it pitched about half way and my boat will go anywhere. This is the only carbon fiber prop I'v...

Very sad to hear, God help you and your family's pain. Prayers will be sent.

NICE looking boat, but aren,t you afraid your steering cable might get ripped off hanging outside the cage? :scratch: :rebel: Yeah its rerouted. The way it was before was below the header before i put the mufflers back on and i ended up burning the casing off the teleflex :violent1: That was a quic...

Nice! Speed wheelie is a good guy.. The boat looks sharp man and it was nice meeting ya brother. Nice meeting you to and hats off for all you do for the youths and your dedication to preserving our heritage.

:old_glory: Big thanks to Tom on my boat. I put this motor to the test on Saturday and she was basically point and go. Never got stuck anywhere i went, Ridge- straight up to the top, sticky green grass- powered right through to help pull a stuck boat out. Motor ran cool and smooth so now i just got ...
