Hello,
i am happy to have found your site, I guess I will start by saying why I joined your site, I am afraid it is a sad story at least for pet lovers, this past week end I lost my 2 dogs, they went through the ice, I had to watch them swim and howl, no one could do anything. I promised myself no other dogs would drown on my property, but I did not know how
then after looking at videos I found Air Boat on ice,
so my idea is to build a small Air boat, I have already bought an Air motor, I don't know much about it, so if any one can help me, I would like to post a picture of my motor but I do not know how
the motor is a 2 stroke Chaparal, with a 36 to 40 inch prop, they told me it was an old air boat that the ministry of natural resource use to pick rice in the late 70's? I paid $300.00 not too bad I think?
their is no deck or boat, it was made of wood,
i do not know how big of a boat I need, how wide, how long, what I would like is big enough for 3 people
a driver and a recovery person, plus room for a dog or a drowning person.
I might be asking too much.
Also the prop is original it is made out of laminated wood, but it's split delaminates, thei must be fibreglass or carbon blades now?
Thnx i will be doing allot of reading this winter,
