NUTTER new guy with out a clue.
A few years ago my boy (42 ) and I built a 16' mud boat for hunting and fishing. It has a 35 hp. Koler Mud devil long tail on a 16.5 Aluminum john boat . WORKS FANTASTIC!
NOW we want an airboat. We recently got a 1600 cc VW bug motor should be about 50/60 hp. and are looking for a 14' Al hull. I think we want to keep the center of gravity way low so we are thinking 'bout keeping the seating in side the hull, and the motor on the floor . What do we need to be looking for in a hull, Different then a flat john ? What kind/ size of prop do you think we will need ?
We don't have a lot of weeds to push through but will have to drive the boat across some flats with out water 20 /30 yards. We want to use it on the ICE when the rivers mostly freeze, It'll open a LOT of hunting land other wise non accessible.
Hope to carry 3 people and 30 goose decoys, guns and ammo .
HELP PLEASE thanks
