We are going to start with a 3 blade 64 inch Warp Drive and after the first test we will put a rubber goose neck on the filter to move it to the front of the cage and check the RPM difference.
Thanks, Chuck

Look forward to it... Plan on using a Stage 2 or 3 for my boat. Let us know if there is an RPM difference so I know what to look for when the time come.
Thanks bricia, I will keep you posted.

Well, now you see how bad my eyes are. My 3.5 reading glasses need to be change to 4.0 but i can't find them. I guess i need reg glasses for reading.
Thanks for the correction, Chuck

Just about anyone can put a big block motor on a boat and make it go but there are not too many around that can make a boat move like that with a lawn mower engine? That thing WORKS!

The throat in that motor sounds good... Can she run on dry ground? Any performance changes if you relocate the Air Filter?
It does sound good with the single exhaust. It will run on some dry ground but not all types of grass. It's best to keep your momentum up. We have to remember this hull might weight between 325 to 375 lbs. I hope to get the boat weight this weekend so we can compare it to the other mini's. Maybe we will get time tomorrow to change the intake tube and try it. I know we gained 100 RPM when we done it on the 40 HP Kohler.
Thanks, Chuck
Hey Chuck,
She sure looks good in the video. I guess my vw would push it around pretty well. If we determine that mine is a lead sled, this looks like a great option. Good luck with your testing.

Chuck,
She's looking very nice. Yay!
I wouldn't want to be a bush at your place. You seem to be hard on 'em.
Thanks,

was eager to see av8or put that e81 on somthing like the 127. see how it compares to the 70 hp briggs?
John O'neal built 2 airboats with the RD2 hulls with polymer on the bottom and they had the VW engine and a Century Drive. They not only worked good but i rode in the front seat and he drove it up on ground and over a 10 inch log and back to the water. I think they are for sale. He had the engines built and set them up with twin carbs. The RD2 hull is 11 ft 8 inches long and our Toughster 127 is 12 ft long.
Thanks, Chuck
The e-81 should work good also.
Here is another video we done on the river yesterday.

Great running boat! Aint this fun making these little motors work? I think the mini airboat has found it's place on the water. Like the tag line of the site says," mini airboats but not mini on fun".

Chuck,
I'm really like'n that Toughster The videos are just too neat But i've got to find out what the barge willdo for now
Jim
P.S. How's the fishin in that place
I checked out both other videos, that is a fine machine ya have there. I might have to see what Mr. Oneal might want to trade. I have one ea-81 left, with an amax redrive....I would have to put the heads back on. The other one I had is flying in New Jersey now. My vw has the dual weber carbs and an oil cooler on board. Well, I should probably get a job and just buy what I want.......naaaaa did that for years, now I barter.....lol
