You da man !
No apology needed . . . you are due many thanks for the fine job you do maintaining our favorite sandbox.
Glad it didn't give you a longer heart burn than it did.
Thanks, again.

Gary raises an interesting point. When I read your description, I initially figured you were referring to a ring land when you mentioned compression. Hence, my following thought was that it sounds like detonation, in which case the other seven had been exposed to the same scenario. Where did the pis...

No intention or desire whatsoever to sound like a pessimist, but it sounds like you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Unless you are knowingly going to such an expense, to arrive at a comparatively lethargic end; it sounds like you should likely have more engine/gear than that and/or start...

I pity the brother who was the recipient of this heartburn . . .

First be aware, that in general with a V8 and a belt drive on a 13' hull, you are coming out of the gate at least a little ass heavy. Not to imply that isn't something than can't be done successfully, but rather is something that can not be overlooked. Naturally, when the bottom is straight and true...

Can't offer a lot of knowledge about that, but since you've received no response at all, I am more than willing to share the little I've seen. Over time, I have only been around two of them (on any kind of regular basis) and neither of them had any problems that I am aware of. The one I was more fam...

As was already stated, A - Determine/Confirm your Gear Ratio ---- If you don't know your gear ratio, refer to this diagram: https://southernairboat.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/rtMedia/users/53/2018/07/Find-Reduction-Ratio-660x800.png?1615263334 B - Calculate your Prop Rpm by dividing the Engine RPM by...

.... I propose the following: - Direct and Belt Drives are PORT Rotation (top of prop turns to PORT) - Gear Drives are STBD Rotation .... Everything Sliding Gator states in his post is factual, no doubt about that. To further simplify the above proposition (for purposes of an airboat novice) to eas...

Please understand that your estimation or description of your knowledge about this subject doesn't change the reality faced by people here who are willing and wanting to help you. The guys that used to frequent this place that were psychic, all left and started an internet based hotline. As such, th...

You neglected to state what material(s) you want to construct this boat out of. That would be more than a passive detail since the plan(s) that you're looking for would likely be contingent on that choice. Just out of curiosity, with what do envision powering this 18 or 20 footer? May or may not be ...

GoDaddy kicks biggest gun forum off internet without explanation Joe Biden once promised that fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke, who famously threatened to send cops out to confiscate certain weapons, would be his point person on gun control if elected. It seems that agenda has b...

Anyone have a good Wiring harness schematic for a SBC with carburetor. . . . Have a brand new harness already here. I admit to being a dummy sometimes, and maybe haven't had enough coffee yet, but a SBC w/carb seems a little generic. I'd think that the flavor/type of ignition system your harness is...

No, I do not right off hand. I did a quick look at a couple I had luck with in the past and they are not even listed (or offered?) anymore. :( Back in the day, when they were readily available, the '74 was preferred because it was the only year that the OEM had no recess. I've not needed to source t...

If your guy can lay his hands on a good 500 crank that is wonderful thing. No question that would be the better way to proceed. Didn't mean to imply otherwise; that is just becoming increasingly more difficult to do all the time. If you were used to running the 500 with one of Buddy's cams, there is...

This terribly sad news. Buddy was among few men who had real knowledge that he would readily share for no other reason than to help somebody out. Doesn't seem like that long ago Marty Lane and our own Ruagatr passed on to better things. Oh, to be a fly on the wall and listen to those three Cadillac ...

As surprising as this may be to you, you actually have a couple options that don't involve finding a 500 crank which, at this point, could almost be like getting a mortgage. First, you do NOT need to source 76cc heads to build or rebuild a 472. In fact the radical bulk of the 472s produced used the ...

I think that most of the board of SWFMD is appointed by the governor which has been a republican. Mr. Wilson, I am not one to avoid admitting when I've erred. I did in fact, paint with too broad a brush when I used the term 'libtard' in my reply; "those special people among us" would have...

This is another textbook example of the thought process that is fostered by libtards who get College Level Indoctrination and get patted on the head by by their globalist overlords. It never ceases to amaze me how simple they perceive the general population to be. When exactly, did exhibiting a drop...

. . . i know this may seem stupid, is there a pic of wires to cylinders? friend of mine plugged them in. they were already cut to length and zip tied together. im wondering if there is a side swapped in one mag ....?

. . . my question is being it’s a step hull does lowering the rear of motor push my bow down?

I saw Trump's shadow this morning so that mean's 4 MORE YEARS doesn't it?

This guy's shadow would seem to confirm that premise.

YES. It is imperative that EVERYONE votes, regardless of their chosen means of doing so. There is only thing that can be said about most polls, and that is they are consistently biased. You would think at some point they would realize (and maybe admit) that the majority are done drinking the Globali...

Just my 2 cents. It’s hard for that prop to get any clean air... I think that my friend Andy, very radically under estimates the value of his observation. Normally, with radiator below (rather than above) the prop shaft, it is not creating additional blockage to the available would be air flow. Con...

That's pretty funny. There was one of those for sale in Hernando years ago that I considered buying. I intended to cut a big slot out of the roof behind the front seat and make a hauler for my blower Valkyrie. I'm not big on trailering a bike, but that would've been badass going down Main Street dur...
