Airhead, It's on Bankhead Lake on the Warrior River. I'm on the Jefferson County side. Straight across the river in Walker County is the ~ 45,000 acre Mulberry Fork management area 8-) :mrgreen:...
Thanks for posting the pics! Good stuff!

Hey Airhead! :P Yea, my pile of parts keeps growing! And I'd like to say that I've been working on using it to build a boat, but unfortunately not the case... Been spending a good bit of time down...
LOL!! I think he's only 56! Just a young whippersnapper!
I agree with Duane. Any evening works for me.
It'd probably be good to have a set time for folks to know others are on.

Airhead,
What'd you think about it?
Did she float?

Competition aircraft ultra prop

Hey, yea Airhead, is that fine prop borrowed off the plane? :mrgreen:
Going back on the plane, right?? :P :P :lol:
On a serious note... Engine is looking good! Gettin her clean 8-)
Do...
Sandman,
Those boats are popular down in FL. My uncle down in Crystal River/Ozello has a 14ft Carolina Skiff. Good shallow water hulls. If the hull is in good shape, that's a good price. If I...
Chuck,
Of course this is aboslutely no reflection on you, because I have the utmost respect for you, and please forgive me for being frank, but every time I have stopped by there, there's been way...
Buster,
What's it doing when you turn it over? Making any popping or spiiting out the carb or exhaust? Did you see fire when you took the plugs out and turned it over?
Sure hate it hasn't ran for you yet, but that is sure one PURDY rig!
Aint nothin about that boat that I don't like. VERY nice!

Hey, Airhead. Got yer PM... 10-4
Hull looks good. I'm sure it's not the optimal hull for an airboat, but I think it'd be a good start to get you going. You might even decide you want to stick...
Hey John, Just in case you check in here without signing on... I had sent you a PM. Just let me know if you'd like some more info.
Here are some coordiantes I had written down at one point that...
The little new carb came in the mail today. It's the same basic design/style as the sidedraft round slide mikuni carbs, but some other manufacturer, and is a small scale version. What caught my...
When I first started thinking about building a small airboat, I seriously considered the two stroke engines because of the higher power to weight ratio....but....yerr right, I don't care much for...
2 stroke motor?
I believe I'll pass on the "snow boating" myself... Too many hills around here! But sounds like you might need a couple of these:

Not picking on parts guys, but you are right. But with so many makes, models, etc... on the road now, I guess they are somewhat forced to depend on computers.
Back in the mid/late 70's and...
Hmmm... :idea:
No problem here, Duane... Yep. A lot is open to interpretation on these forum posts. Just making sure I was interpreting correctly. It's all good. :mrgreen:
Like David said... Back to the...
Sandman,
Most motorcycles have sidedraft carbs because there's not as much (not enough) space atop the engine for carbs and airbox. Because downdraft carburetors more efficiently flow air, over...
Hey, Papee. Is that cut down 48" set of blades the "Ultra Prop" ("Competition Aircraft") that you ran at one time?
I know you've always called that boat a tank or a barge, but that is a heavy...
Are you saying I don't know what I have? Cause that sure sounds like what you are saying... Please splain what you mean? That sounds just like you're implying that I'm a dumb A$$ ??
Just because...
