My mate and I are starting our airboating adventure...
The Murray River finally flooded again and we had a great Summer of Bowfishing Carp from the banks and boardwalks but the biguns are always just outa reach. Tried canoes - too hard. So inspired by Gentle Ben tv show 25-30 years ago we are going to build airboats! Never even seen one in the flesh...just know we must have one...each!
(recently bought an episode of Gentle Ben on 16mm film - don't drink and eBay).
We have bought a Pulse MIG welder (arrived 2 days ago-Jammo did the TAFE welding course a few weeks ago.), new Kohler 40HP arrives in 2 days, and ordered a wood prop from ARKTECH (tw) and trying to buy a re-drive & composite 3 blade prop from whoever answers the emails first!
I will start a new build thread when something happens, hopefully in a week or so.
