Well shit ive been lovein my 65in IVO and how it's been working four me.Now you've got me thinkin a stiffer prop mite just be that much better.Up here in northern Missouri theres not much in the way of airboats.Down where most of you guys are you get to see a lot of set ups and how well they work.He...

As Deano said 56in just aint going cut it. With 80hp you should be able to swing a lot more prop then 56". Give the thing a fighting chance.

Looks great. Being a 2stroke engine are you getting the back pressure you need with that exhaust ?

Good looking little boat.looks like it was moving pretty good four 15hp. Nice Job.

You have a counter clockwise rotating engine? Is this a brain teaser?

IVO says 5in both ways...
