Hey Everyone!

Glad to be on this site

I am going to need some help b/c I am heavily involved in Bowfishing and need a small airboat. I am a certified welder and am really good with aluminum. I have a 23 briggs worked up to 34 hp and I am in contact with arrowprop currently trying to find the best prop. I know hull design is utmost and 'yall are very knowledgeable on this subject. Help me out

Welcome to the forum, we certainly hope we can help you. By choosing the motor first you have pretty well set the limitations. What are your expectations for this rig? You may want to consider a reduction drive. I would also consider a composite blade that can be adapted to your needs as you build your boat. I use a 3 blade Ultra Prop from Competition Aircraft and others use The Ivo prop. There may also be others.
