Re: New boat build for Anvil
Application is called TorquePro. Bagman is the expert. He uses it with his supercharged LS. It is an awesome program.

Re: New boat build for Anvil
William, I am not quite ready for a refund but thanks for the offer! I just hope my boat runs remotely close to Steve's. I am going to data log the numbers on my boat and will post if anyone is interested. I can track what my engine is doing via a tablet and a bluetooth connection to my engine diagn...

Re: New boat build for Anvil
Well that would be interesting. I have never owned a deck over that has been in the water. The motor builders were , Felber,Waterthunder and Marine Power........so what? One was great, one was OK and one was a POS. Probably no need to go there but feel free :scratch: i guess if I paid for a bad moto...

Re: New boat build for Anvil
Glad y'all can take a lil constuctive criticism. Hell you should have learned by now Jim..probably would've saved you a lot of money with all those other junk builders you've used in the past. If course they were the greatest at the time. Hopefully poorboys don't turn out like them. But if so I wil...

Re: New boat build for Anvil
No worries. Save your gas and saw blades. I already cut it all off the second i read the airboat guru's post!
Maybe I acted too fast..........I don't have that big Anvil HP! My 375HP probably wouldn't have hurt anything!

Re: Slick bottom on pontoon boat???
I am worried about the anti fouling paint as most of them have copper. Makes for short pontoon life! Sounds like slick bottom may work? I talked to a couple of the manufacturers and they knew of people that had used their product but no one had actually left the boat in the water for extended period...

Slick bottom on pontoon boat???
Has anybody put slick bottom on a pontoon boat? I am curious if slick bottom on pontoons will prevent algae etc from growing on a boat left in fresh water. If it works does one product work better than another?

Re: Thunder on Loup Boat Rolled
The driver of the boat was actually hurt. He tore up his shoulder pretty bad. They also did major damage to a high dollar engine. He looked OK after coming out of the water but after the fact it all started to kick in. It really sucks for them. Hope he heals up soon.

Re: OX BOX and BALLISTIC Specs?
Most Rotators are 15.75 center to center ( some are 15.5 and some are 16)
Stinger is 12 center to center
Ballistic ratios in stock are 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7. Will have limited number of 1.8 and 2.9 in next few weeks.

Re: OX BOX and BALLISTIC Specs?
I recently realized that the Rotator is about 1inch longer overall and about 1inch higher at the output shaft than a Stinger which causes a problem for my prop clearing my cage. My question is what are the OX and Ballistic specs as far as this is concerned or are they even different themselves from...

Re: AIR BOAT COVERS
Do you need 2 people to cover/uncover boat? Looks like it would be a great alternative to keeping inside all the time. These airboats take up way to much good shop space!!

Re: 3 blade "R" sweet spot
You have a very good problem. You can easily add pitch with the 3 blade R. They love lots of pitch. Bringing your WOT down from 6300 is prob a good idea (unless you are racing all the time!).
On the other hand a 4 blade is also an option. You have the HP to turn it and they do look good!

Re: Turner's Vapor 147 Build - PICS (updated 5/25)
I have stood on the very back corner of the red vapor and it does not dip below the water line. I don,t see any way this particular hull could tip over in deep water. I am only 180 but do not see any issue even for the big boys.
