    I have gotten a lot done since my last post here. I am about 75% finished. I am hoping to be done by this weekend. Wish me luck!

    Hey! Looks Great! If ever build another airboat, I will be looking seriously at a deckover design. What are you going to do with it? That lycoming should push it along real good..... Keep us posted. Go man go!

    We glassed it. It weighs somewhere around 350 lbs. If you lived around louisiana I'd tell you to come get it. I am buying a house and don't have time to mess with it anymore.

    No. I'm parting it out. Life finally got in the way. Buying a house so I just don't have any time or money for it anymore.
