Mini airboat in swamp. mud redneck

[foldsdirtbiker123]

i want to buy it how much??

[butterbana]

it world work ALOT better if you didnt have such a huge hull

[pyroboy08]

nice, pretty quick for an air boat with 13hp

[LHRShadow]

i want to build something like this but maybe a little 2 person flat bottem, im a fishing addict..

[duckslayer121]

how hard was it to build the cage and stand for the motor and prop

[abus777]

Some say rednecks i say engineers

[dallasdad1202]

careful with the diesel engines brendon. they are heavy hogs on an airboat. the power to weight ratio just isnt there for a small boat. you will sit low in the water and be lucky to plane up from the weight. best way to go is with a twin engine like a briggs and stratton or a vw air cooled engine.

[Brendon00000]

any rotary powered air boats?

[Brendon00000]

i want one of these so bad after watching waterboy, I want to make my own with a small diesel engine

[gwriter17]

any chance that i would be able to get a six hp motor plaining a boat on the water? what about a 300cc?

[onthedogbox]

Oh I am in the process of build on just like that from that same website

[onthedogbox]

How big of motor is that

[bossofthemoss]

@onthedogbox it's a Honda GX390 13hp utility style engine swinging a 42x18 propeller.

[5marcopolo]

sounds preety cool like a lawn mower

[Buildster]

To date I think this is the nicest completed Mini Airboat on YOUTUBE !

It performs very well... Now I need to get to work and see if I can do better...

This will make an interesting winter project, thanks for the inspiration...

Keep up the iinnovative DIY PROJECTS ...

Thanks from the Buildster...

[Warbeast911]

very cool boat, ^^

[kylesize]

it run ground at all

[bossofthemoss]

@kylesize no, its only got 13hp, but it'll run on plane in water as shallow as an inch or so.

[crazzykid572]

@bossofthemoss do you have gear reduction on the motor,if so whats the ratio infomation will be helpful im looking to make one

[AllAlaskan907]

Just Curios, is that a Wood hull? It looks like its very thin plywood....is that what it is? If so how heavy is it? Im looking at making one my self.

[bossofthemoss]

@AllAlaskan907 yes, it is thin plywood.

[limex2k]

ORGASM!

[69windbreaker]

wow!!! def need one of those!

[lgcs3110]

Could you tell me the prop dimension? Something like 42''x18'' ?

[bossofthemoss]

it is a 42x18 from rnd props.

check out miniairboatassociation

[lgcs3110]

ok. how about engine rpm when cruising? Something like 2500 rpm?

[otzi4215]

would a 13hp like urs push 2 people in a 8ft boat

[AirboatMan01]

Thanks for the video inspiration. Gonna build a four person one like this

[SDSnyper]

I'm thinking about building or buying one of these.. they look like a lot of fun...

[qazedcuhv]

aight 321 if you use lawnmower blades you wont even need a safety cage cause its gonna be a nice big weed whipper kinda boat LOL

[bossofthemoss]

No gear box on this one, just a 13hp Honda with a 42" prop bolted to the crank.

[leviterande]

wow! did you hit full throttle in the vid? how fast did it go?

[bossofthemoss]

@leviterande no, the guy driving it isn't me and he wouldn't let it build up full speed. it goes faster than what is seen here, i'ld say around 20-25 in shallow water under a foot deep.

[aight321]

im building a boat semiliar to that except its 3/4 deck boat and i cant figure out how to get a prop or where to get one i was gonna take to 42" lawn mower blades and bend them how needed but any info you can give me would be apreciated thanks

[ceterfo]

): ): ):

[cajunbabu]

was the cage and steering a kit or homemade?

[jrd151962]

Hi, nice boat! i would like to build one, can you tellme what type of motor, and where to get the prop? do i need a gear box? please help thankyou in advance......
