Hey everybody! I've been a lurker on this site for a while but finally decided to join so I can share some of my findings. My name is Danny and I'm down in florida near the St.John's river, I have a Gore peanut hull with a 4A032 spinning a Helix 51" variable pitch 2 blade prop spinning direct off the crank, originally had a briggs and stratton 402417, and am probably going to step up to a 4A084 soon, looking forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends!

Danny,
Welcome to the forum.
Stepping up from a 4A032 to a 4A084 would be a BIG upgrade.
It'd involve a good bit of work, but I'd sure think it'd be worth it.
Please keep us up to date on your progress.

Welcome to the forum Danny.
It seems I heard airboaters generally agree, there is no such thing as too much power.
Good luck with your upgrade,

OK, here we go! I've got a couple vids of my boat with the original indestructible briggs and stratton twin and the "new"4A032 running. I'll post it here, the videos section is not letting me post there yet. Anyways, enjoy!
