Hey guys, just joined this forum and just last week I discovered the world of mini-airboats. I have already ordered a custom built, all eighth inch, aluminum jon boat from a builder. The boat will be 12 foot long, 48 inch bottom, and will have 20 inch sides and transom. I was originally going to put a mud motor on the boat but with the tall transom I would pretty much be limited to a longtail with small engine. I could go with a 23 hp surface drive and go that way but that engine weighs over 200 lbs. I think a little airboat would be sweet. By the way, my boat will have a slick bottom with cross bracing, a bench in the back, and a 3 foot long deck up front. What could I do with this boat? Like I said, I am completely new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated!
