1248 Airboat Hull
I have a 12ft airboat hull that is 48" wide on the bottom plus turning chines. I started to put together an airboat but never finished it. I'm thinking about rebuilding the transom and running a mud motor on it. What motor do you think would suit this hull? I was considering a 12hp copperhead.

Re: 1248 Airboat Hull
I would think the little copperhead would do well on there. Might even be able to go with the 18 since you are 48 wide, but I don’t see why the 12 wouldn’t work well as long as you built the transom to the right height for those little copperheads

Re: 1248 Airboat Hull
Dont overdo it. It doesnt need alot. If you have any hp restricted areas around you, the 10hp makes a nice size, so the 12 would be fine if not. Unless it's a heavy 12ft boat, 12 hp is plenty. The whole point of a rig like that is small and lightweight. Keep it that way.
