Airboat Cap'N always keep a tarp stashed on the boat. If you puncture the hull, you can affix the tarp on the bow & drive over the tarp in the water. Quick patch on the water. 💯👍Be safe & have fun scootin' that airboat!!! ✌

Crazy trying to start it with half a prop, probably for the best that it broke off before it saw any real rpm.

Ah yes, the slow descent into madness followed by rapid escalation to violence. It's just like all of my projects.

I had a similar boat that I got from down in Oregon. It was a 12 foot flat bottom Lund 1248. It had a 400 cc, 2 cycle Cuyuna two cylinder with a single carburetor that came from a 80's ultralight.. It would do right around 22 mph top speed, That thing was stupid loud and pretty much terrifying. I sold it last year. I took it out several times but thought it was going to be faster than it was. I put a boat tank in there that had a primer bulb in the line. I put the tank up front to distribute the a little better.
