  • 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.

  • @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.
