H series is pretty much its own thing.lotta stuff special only to H

Franklins all have lower compression pistons.already checked.guess its just that much better than lyc. And cont.lol.jurnigan decked my Pe-90 for $160 and took care of the studs.have you priced large journal rods? It was definitely cost effective.plus im told they have end play and with the known cra...

That's why i asked.pe-90 had to be decked.cheaper than rods.guess its cam and pistons

Just pistons? Was thinking cam,pistons and decki

I have a le-90 that's decked 1.25 but want to build an o320. What should i deck it?

Might as well throw Hairdoo out there.his boats ride as good as they look!

Paul J uses self tapping screws.says they hold tighter,they're def cheaper,and they go in quick and easy

An old airboater once told me that grass rake is removable because its made to be destroyed rather than your boat.on a sled if the grass rake doesn't fold it'll cost you a bow cap.anything you put up front is drag.pure and simple.for a pipe rake i like a mixture of 3/4 and 1/2 emt.and i like them sh...

There are different o290's.if its a ground power its worth less than an aircraft.big hp difference.if its an 0-290 g its an aircraft and could make as much as 150 hp stock.they're actually decent little engines.they are expensive to work on.best advice would be to run the # on the top of the case th...

Yeah.hunting favor eggs in Louisiana about 13 yrs ago starter came off one of our boats.boat was a 12ft sage with a built 260 turning an 8 blade.cut both wires and only put a few nicks in a couple blades.the foreman stood on the front of grants boat and hand propped an o-540 with an 8 blade.the man ...

I think its the greatest prop ever made.I've seen starters,cooler lids,cans,shirts, towels........you name it go through a warp drive ,and guess what,it still makes that reassuring buzzing sound..and if im not wearing hearing protection,i hear it after i shut it down.its kind of like it's still tell...

Between 10 and 12 feet.guessing the engine makes 100up plus or minus.little light fiberglass hull would be sweet

very nice mini.i built a 4x8 for my son a couple years ago.lot of fun.i really like your reduction.very ingenious.i put a 20 hp onan on mine and it was heavy.made the boat kinda tipsy and it never really performed direct.when i was a kid growing up in the everglades road sign rudders were the norm.t...

whats the purpose of reversing the normal engine mounting arrangement?usually you do a single in the rear and two up front?ive never really paid attention to an 084 build but i want to do one

It would hide all the cracks and bad welds.

Obvious HP (stupid spellcheck)

Besides the obvious up,and the angle valve cylinders what's the difference?they're both 360 cubic inches.

The scrap monster was rough on those old boats

Looks Taylor-ish.but all those guys built similar looking hulls.and there are a lot of homemade knockoffs out there

i know a guy with a 4.3 and reduction on a decent sized rivermaster with a wide prop and it seems to run real good.saw another on a smallish full deck at the swimming hole with a real small/slick belt reduction.the guy said it ran very good.i guess 4.3 makes 195hp stock.ive always wanted to build on...

Definitely go 6' wide.planes easier.

The 440 kawi is a much overlooked engine.we used to fly them on ultralites years ago.double check that up estimate before you buy.even at 40-50up should make a decent little boat

My dad ran one with a turbo charger for a long time back in the 70' s.short prop,48" wood.11'x6 1/2 sled.good old boat.if you can look up "Banks Maxwell" they made a lot of stuff for the corvair and will provide an excellent reference.he said you had to keep the blower assembly on it ...

In florda stateland is not close it is restricted only frogers,gator hunters,and miccosukee members are allowd on state land.
