As you can tell I very new at airboats, sorry.
I do boat a lot , I have a Hewescraft jet that I use the heck out of.
Anyway, I'm still designing , I my mind, my water bug mini.
I have a fairly firm Plan on the drive, snowmobile Clutch belt drive to chain reduction to a car front wheel spindle and hub ,driven by the chain, two blade wooden prop. Size yet to be determined.
NEXT.
Would there be a advantage to be able to trim the drive and prop on the fly?
If I make the whole package pivot up and down with a seizer jack I could make the front lighter or drive it down harder or adjust for the load.
On snow and gravel and ice I would think you would want a lighter bow.
What kind of movement are we talking? Inches, fraction of Inches?, Many inches?
You could use the trim to help clime over bumps maybe.
