Sorry to see no response to your gentle nudge request. You might as well ask for a guys side chick's phone number. Nobody giving up their honey hole...

I drove one on the Pea River. No issues after fine tune on the transom lip. Road flat and slid through turns. Fun little hull.

REST PEACEFULLY MY BROTHER!
Praying for peace and comfort for Ms. Carol and family.

Just missing some of those gut bustin funny threads from back in the day...

Okay then, how about bifocal hatlights? You know look up for distant frogs and look down for them close ones...

Anybody know where to buy left-handed frog gigs? Asking for a friend...

Rotax 583, 618 & 670 with provision 8 cases accept Rotax gearboxes and are built for a prop application. Don't know about can-am Rotax motors. Good luck with the build. If you search here in the mini airboat forum there is some information on Rotax builds.

Your 503 Rotax with a B box would spin a bigger prop for sure. However, your prop should NEVER be longer than your hull's width!!! Do some homework in the mini airboat section of this site. My mini is a12' x 7' Alumitec with a 583 Rotax C box 2 blade Razor X Core weighing just under 500#. It would h...

The key in mini airboats is light weight and displacement. There are threads on ducted fan applications. Use search function in the mini airboat category and avoid sure to fail time wasters. This is my opinion after costly trial and error, as well as research for nine years in chasing mini airboat p...

In searching mini airboat forum for air john projects you will find very few success stories. Johnboats typically are too narrow, have ribbed bottoms and will not perform like an airboat. You might consider finding a light weight used airboat hull and trying your fan motor to move it on water. Don't...

Marty for fiberglass and Alumitech for aluminum. I've had both.

In my opinion you need to build a hull wider, longer and lighter than what you have now. Displacement footprint keeps you sitting higher in the water. As Sniper stated above, look into a Rotax 2 cylinder 2 stroke engine with a gearbox and clutch. Read the posts on this forum in the mini airboat sect...

Also pay attention to wind direction. Those floating islands (some call them tussets, some tussocks) will block a boat ramp. Winds from the northeast can block Haegy Burry ramp.

You might check out some of the mudmotor forums. There is alot of Briggs info available on those sites. Much more! Nothing against SA, just not many airboats with Briggs motors. Since Chuck closed Airboat Pro he's not available to answer questions. Paul Dixon at Airboats Unlimited might have some in...

While you are taking down the motor you might check your crankshaft diameter. I hard to replace mine after it sheerer off. They made two different sizes. My 1 1/8" sheered by prop torque. Replaced it with 1 7/16". Just a suggestion.

Contact Circle H Airboats. They just announced a special on poly for the boats that helped during Harvey.

Might want to consider a Rotax with a gearbox...

Sounds like heavy hull, under powered and under proped. My mini 12' hull is 212#, 85 hp engine and 70" 2 blade prop. Also, are you running skinny water?

How wide is your hull? Is it a flat bottom airboat hull?

Saw this build in the Circle H shop Saturday. Wow was my first impression. After closer inspection I must say that the attention to details and workmanship is some of the finest in the airboat industry. Beautiful project!!!

Contact Jerry at USAA phone number on flyer.

Might want to contact peariverpossum on here. Kenny Hughes and his dad are building a light weight aluminium hull for Rotax motor setups.

Rotax Rick in Naples. Find contact info on barnstormers.com (don't post other websites, but that's the only way I can get his info ).
