Airboatstuff.com Smuggler on here makes a nice complete kit. On a buddies boat we put a carb Plenum with 3" dia opening then a 90 down an put a 3" K&N cone style. Spectre Performance Carbureted Air Intake Plenums 9849 I use the 10" edlebrock air cleaner but the filter is only 2" tall. I found a wix ...

Dewayne Hobkirk over near inverness
Will PM you his number
GTO had some as well

Barhopper redid my poly in march, Whata pain. And yes sir been catching a number of 12"-22" snook. Both north and south, what's interest up north more so in the sandy creeks and down south out around the bars. Was jigging with a green lantern. A few of the kicker boat guys caught their limit in trou...

We did ok this weekend caught 5 reds over 30" and some nice snook. 1 22" trout.

Met him a few times great guy and always had a good story to tell.

What area do you fish?I I fish the waccasassa bay area It is a little more rocky (nasty sharp rocks I get about 3 years out of my 3/8") and the water is not as clear as north and south of that area. I fish out of a small fishing club just purchased by one of the SA members dad. He has spent a good d...

Any of the bigger Florida builders should have one
Hamant
Alumitec
GTO
Jernigan's

We sent up a buddies boat with a 81" 3 blade maximus he runs a stock carbed l33 5.3 with a 2.55 gearbox, runs fairly well. With another 100 hp it would run great. It is on a heavy 14' alumitec deckover round sided boat. On thing I will say it runs the water loaded for fishing at 3,800-4,000 and will...

If you go in from the river Iraq island there 1st spot/island you come to off the river. As you go NW or right at the island. The trail straight a head of you is where you come out when you return.

Also usually a few people out there riding.

I ran a 72" 3 blade H on my 472 DD caddy. Mine ran best turning 2850. Really didn't has much push till it got to 2400. You need it to be turning 2700-2900 with an H blade. That narrow blade has narrow power band like an old 2 stoke motorcycle. if it is a stock 305 68"/70" 2 blade or 68" 3 blade maybe

Sure enough loved my DD caddy. Got run very hard but was always reliable. Still like to hear one coming down the river, they have there own sound. And yep today I am an gearbox and LS guy. I like my 3 miles to the gallon. Don't think I would see that with a BBC or a Caddy built for a gearbox but the...

On the river there 3 main ramps 44 ramp and the 2 off cr470 the Dam Pub and Lake pan outfall.

Grass is tall be careful and traffic runs one main direction.

I cover mine to the to the chine.
I use ratchet straps and a 2x4 on each side pull it to the hull.

Most speed shops carry VP racing fuel. VP has several different products that will work. Including some that are unleaded for those running an oxygen sensor.

Rollins in Gainesville has VP fuel.

If I were looking for a fiberglass hull this would be my list All other them build a hull that would handle a 6.0 but each hull drives a little different in my opinion. Havik - Woods & Water - Paul Jackson 863-287-2069 Marsh Master - Jimmy White Ricochet - Lorne Hooker 863-855-0425 Marty Bray also c...

Not exactly an answer to you carb question My 2 cents would be 1st determine if it is a LQ4 or LQ9, both were in an Escalade. The LQ9 is same basic motor with flat top pistons give it more compression. If it is an lq4 I would find a sent of 706 5.3 heads that can be had cheap. The 706 heads has a sm...

For cables check out Mako Hose or Midwest Control Products. Make sure you get the same throw - 6 or 8" in steering cable.

Each blade has a sweet spot for tip speed in mph. To me that comes from matching engine rpm, gear ratio and blade length with enough pitch to be efficient.

HDsadey What did you think of the molnar quality. I have heard and read good thing but not seen one in person. Thinking about Molnar for my LS 408 stroker. No offense taken. That's what I love about airboating so many different possibilities and combinations. We always pull them down to a short bloc...

I got less than 8200.00 in my junkyard LS 6.0 gearbox and prop. It has over 100hrs on it and had unknown milage when I bought it. The 5.3 I ran at 1st had 113k on it plus over 600 hrs between 2 different boats. Don't get me wrong I was a tried and true DD caddy guy for over 10 years. But after messi...

Yep they make the best airboat trailer on the market.

Someone makes a green belt that is talked about a lot on the lsa forum. Might be worth checking into, as it is supposed to better/ heavy-duty Think it is a gates belt

I have an old 76 CSX handheld waterproof floats and can take a beating. At least 10 yrs old and falling into the bottom of the boat and water countless times. Has a small screen but is tough as nails.

Very Cool

GTO has built a few. I actually got a chance to drive this boat. Drove like a bus but had loads of power
