@MEXNECK01 I am wondering why one would want to use a 2.4L non high reving Toyota motor when a cheap torquey American V8 (or Lycoming) would be so much better and last 10 times longer? The 22R is a great motor, but this would be a weird application, and likely not provide decent enough HP/torque unless highly modified and unreliable.

wow nice music..................

Looks like pretty nice boats, can't tell much with this f****d up video.
-
I just don't understand how airboats can maneuver like that, the center of gravity looks so high and the boats soooo small.
-
nice boat, but the rudders look like hammerd dog shit!
-
Why all slo-mo? Is it really slow?
-
can someone tell me how much cost the airboat on show please ?
-
the hull is wide, so despite its high center of gravity, it remains upright.

Thanks now I no.
Can a Toyota 22-R motor be used for an airboat . Or a 1964 VW motor. Can sombody tell me THANKS.

Both engines can used. The VW engine already has adaptors and propellers available. The 22-R would be a little more expensive.

I have both engines. why would 22R be more expensive. Wich one do you think would be better for 4 person load

The 22-R with a Reduction unit would work best. Also would be more expensive because of custom fabricated adaptor plates.

I don't understand the physics. You'd expect it to tip over when steering because of a high center of gravity. Think it must have to do something with aerodynamic forces from the propulsion.
Can anybody explain please?

It all has to do with hull design. The size of the hull = displacement of weight.
