Except for wiring this boat is pretty well done. Time to get busy on mine. I've got all of the motor mount pieces cut. Probably make some progress on #2 tomorrow.

I probably missed it, but are y'all going to be running lights off the front also for bowfishing?

We just happened to have a new 15 hp laying around. Going to try it and see if it'll plane out. It'll have a 22hp for our trip. Cage all laid our.

Still a lot of welding to do. Most of the cage is only tacked together. My Prop and all of the wiring components for both boats will be here in a few days.

You guys obviously know what you are doing...but it sure seems like that motor stand is gonna put a lot of leverage and torque on the floor runners where it's attached if you have to go high throttle with some "resistance"? Does the seat stand share some of it, or distribute it?

Took a week off for a javelina hunt. Got home and had a prop waiting on us. Progress can now resume.

Number 2 is alive. Same prop as the other but dropped to 8 degrees of pitch because we had a 15hp laying around. If it doesn't work I'll buy a set of 12 degree pitch blocks and a 22hp.

Yes Sir, I saw it and am anxiously awaiting for the video on this boat. I was curious as to the weight difference between this boat and that one. I have seen how much power to weight ratio can effect a airboat's speed.

Nice work!
But, after reviewing your pictures, I have to wonder, when did my dog start hanging out in your garage? ![]() I don't have a great picture handy, but here's "my" dog at your garage, and then here he is at my house, working on a chew toy or something. Last edited by Brad96; 03-26-2018 at 11:10 AM. |

If your dogs name is Maggy May that would be some twilight zone stuff. They are colored exactly the same.
