Talk to Shane Lavalette at Dynamarine or Will Sikes at PB Performance. These two guys are the types to like new and different boats. Good Luck as I here CBM does good work.

Is it a 3bld 70 or a 2bld.... 3 bld id say 16-18 but two blade you may wanna start at 20+

I spin a 68 SS 3bld at 13deg with 180hp

454 HO makes about 300HP at 3000rpm

I run the 1.4L and may upgrade in a few years...

For those looking to build a boat with one looks like Chevy is supplying a universal (stand alone) kit for these motors now.

Part # 19328839 - CPP LTG RWD Controller Kit - Contains Pre-Programmed ECU, Harness, Sensors

Motor is Part # 19328837 if you want new and not Junk yard

Rent? He owns that one... he may take you for a ride if you ask.

How is the fuel system set up? Returnless fuel rail or constant regulated return? Water fuel separator or plain fuel filter?

Try a motor with VVT. Feel the kick

Good email Darrin. Steve and I had the same conversation at Freedom Ride this year.

Good luck on your build. Bout to get back into my 1.4L and get more power (230+)... plan is to run an 80" 2-bld older model Whirlwind Stump Puller I got for a good price.

Sensenich j series the same as whirlwind blade that is big copy cat hub is same and lock on the hub is same what next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whirlwind and Sensenich discussed openly and decided to standardize on that hub design for the industry in the interest of the consumer. So yes its a "copy" so to ...

The is a fairly large ride there every year for Memorial Day Weekend. Best advice you can get is to get on Facebook and join Southeast Texas Airboats. Most of us are on there and can give you advice. We don't frequent SA much.

By the video he topped out at 540hp @ 6000rpm redline. Just depends on what he wants... EX blades are designed for about 2200-2400 rpm. So a 2.5 would give him the full usable rpm range. JX blades are about the same setup. S series or whirlwind superwides he would be good going to a 2.68. Ive always...

Took my 2x4 and made it 4x4. Much happier now!

Call Patti and talk! Also Whirlwind had a "you dont like it send it back guarantee" so you can try props thru them but she will sent you right.

A couple of sources to help you out: 1. Chuck Rackley is available for a phone call last I heard. 2. CBM Motorports I have heard are a great group of guys, may be able to get them to provide engine and wiring or even do a harness for you if you want to go junkyard motor. http://www.custombuiltmotors...

2.0L Turbo Ecotec with Gearbox

Ill have my 1.4L making 230HP with all hope by next year, but you don't want to spend the time and money I am doing the tunes and bolt on mods.

Join us over on Facebook if you have it... Southeast Texas Airboats. We arrange rides all over the state of TX and make trips to Florida, etc. Always welcome more into the group for big rides.

Mine is flipped over. Used factory bolts holes to mount in it a box then the box is mounted to the under the foot deck. This way you can move it around and even mount it extended past the foot deck like mine. Plenty of walking room.

Nice ride. I'm considering Simpson suspension in a future rebuild.

Feb 17th next year. They announced it at the ride.

Some ride all week.

Here ya go!

Yes the Utah Airboat Association would be a good group to talk with. Totally forget about those guys on the Salt. They have a Facebook page and here is their website http://www.utairboat.com/

You want to stay glass or go Aluminum?

Where do you plan to use it 95% of the time? Fresh Water or Salt/Brackish Water? Trick is knowing nobility of metals and how water/salt corrosion affects them. Aluminum and Steel/Zinc are both anodic (metal disappears in a electrically conducive atmosphere (salty air) - Don't use a zinc primer on yo...

RickMc, You have every authority to give them a stearn go to hell look if you get prop washed horribly. Sometimes its gonna happen especially if they get stuck getting off the grass, but still not polite to get blasted. Yes its the kettle calling the pot black as I prop washed a few folks that weeke...
