Gotta say i was a little surprised to see this thread pop up , i was just setting here searching the web looking at all the old glades photos and boats , pictures of the past and boats i absolutely wished i had back when I stumbled on the Cloninger facebook page and pics of his boats folks posted up...

If your gonna be running citrus co , the boys around there will likely chime in i hope.... both bottoms have thier spot , i love slick, but i also sometimes need poly ,.. I used to have stainless wrap on my rock boat , it comes down to where you ride and how you treat her .... i have no experience i...

I agree with cracker ... looks like a great boat , ive had big ones small ones and inbetweeners ,and nowadays i like simple , i could've built just about any size i wanted but my new one im building right now is a little 11fter ....one day I'll get her finished lol

Thanks for the heads up! I've got a couple of them and never had an issue , i haven't used that ammo in them but its nice to know

Na , you weren't stuck ....just temporarily immobilized!!

Prayers for the family, rest in peace brother

Heres one shot

The only pic i have is a different series of mag , someone else might have better pics but this is how many mags are done , if you notice the wire going from condensor to points contacts , the ground wire will hook up to that screw that way when grounded it will not let the coil fire For some reason...

Check the magneto and see if there is a small wire going through the mag points cap , if so and its hooked up , grounding this wire is the way to kill the mag so it wont fire , usually folks just run a toggle switch to ground Also on a side note , in case you might be unaware if your mag is not grou...

Not a chance. I have a 20x8 with a sprayer setup, a hair under 600hp, and mine won't run across wet grass. Let alone load/unload, or run the hill. That explains it as well as any. I run a 14x7, 1,800 lb boat, pushed by 260 Hp worth of Lycoming. I unload/load dry and run dry all day with a rider, 2 ...

Thanks gmac, i picked up that other carb anyways it was a good buy.... just wondering is it the power jet or metering valve maybe that sets it apart from the 10-2302?

Wondering if anyone has a carb id #10- for the franklin 0199 or 0200 , the only manual i have just stating ma3-f I found a ma3 10-2153 just not sure if it'll work says its for a franklin 0170 im just not familiar with that engine.....lycoming/continental are a little eaisier to work with I've just g...

X3 on mag timing.... is it sputtering or coughing at all,any signs of a heartbeat?

I literally just choked on my dang beer when i read that lol now that s%$! Was funny!!!

Hey Brother!!! I've been wondering where you've been hiding, I've seen a short post here and there once in a while from you but it's seemed like a bunch of the older crowd that made this forum has kinda dwindled away or maybe just life getting in the way... And yes i have moved back to Florida, just...

My hulls like the engine to be almost perfectly level to the hull or just slightly high in the rear, some other hulls I've setup like 1/4 bubble high or so in rear, and then some boats liked/needed to lower it a bit past level , every hull is a little different and there is a ton of info in the arch...

Have you checked the bottom of the hull near the stern , if you have poly make sure you dont have a chunck about to come off or splitting back there , if thats good.... Then level the hull , put a level on the bottom or t bars/stringers to verify level then check prop angle on face of hub if possibl...

John will do you right that's definitely his expertise , let us know how it all turns out , you have a piece of real airboat history there.... enjoy!

Had to do the same thing to an ol stossel this week , sometimes u just cant get around it , to do it right sometimes you got to strip her down! But when its all said an done its worth the time n money spent

Thats a sharp eye you got there John !!

Someone with a more well trained eye than me hopefully will chime in and shed some light on it , i see why they say taylor but it's really hard to say for sure as i haven't seen a true taylor hull up close in many years , good luck

Ya its a weird deal on that... the us coast guard has made it very clear (to me at least) that in no way shape or form can i put my HIN #s on a hull unless i build the rest of the boat and sell it as such , I've heard some manufacturers do anyways but then that opens up a bunch liability issues on t...
