Update:

I'm NOT going to build a Lake Buggy. If nothing else, this helped me make up my mind to do it right. So, I guess the $14.95 was spent well.

I've decided to order one of Chuck's MiniPro 116 hulls, and a Magic Tilt trailer.

I've dreamed about building an airboat for 38 years. Now that I'm getting around to actually doing it, and even though I am on a tight budget, I want it to look and perform nice. What good is a finally fulfilled teenage dream if you can't be proud of the result?

I want to build the rigging, and build up the engine myself. That way I can say that I built it (at least some of it) myself.

My 4A084 is on it's way, (been sitting in the UPS frieght terminal in Raleigh since Saturday) I need to check on it again tomorrow.
