Well,
As some of you know, I completely remodeled my airboat.
*Had My Prop Refurbished
*Redone my Cage
*Added a Rub Rail on hull
*Got a Custom Paint Job
*Brought it to a Rotax Guro that really knows his Sh!t. (tune up)

Well,
Now it is one BAD MOFO !!! I went out frogging with it on Monday Night. (not going to brag about frogs. Water Extremely too high)
My boat is only 11.5', and i had me and another guy. Extra Battery, 12 gallon tank, and additional 6 gallon.
We ran everywere, and it was Awesome. Couldnt be more impressed with the performance.

Top Speed with the load (deepwater) : 34mph
Top Speed with the load (shallow/grass) : 38mph

Top Speed on Limestone (Berwich Boat Launch) : 26mph

PS.
I wish I had Tenpoints boat. My boat has 100hp, and his has 200; and his boat isnt much bigger.

Thats All,
Uncle J

How about some pictures and a video?

One up Tenpoint by making some wings for your rig.

This mean that, I get my first Air Boat ride at the end of the month???

Picture in yard

i kno the big airboats r bad but this lil thing is awesome .. fast too

Can I join the airboat party.... this was with the Briggs.... switching to Generac now...

Used to run 35mph with me and 12 gallons of fuel....

Two people, 50lbs of deeks, 6 gallons of fuel, shotguns, and shell buckets, 27-28mph

Ready for the extra HP and motor that is 30 lbs lighter...

Thats not too much slower than me in deep water. I can run about 45 with two peeps. Shallow (like 1 or 2 inches) its kinda scary in a 12 foot boat. It feels like it will get airborn. I need to GPS it shallow.

j when we going for a ride in that bad boy??

u boyy lol ...

Where I run I would tear up a glass boat in a blink of an eye... oysters and shale do a number on my poly... i could only imagine how much they scar up a glass boat...

do both of you run poly?

I wanna ride in the fastest one...

That lil air boat UNCLE-J got is bad ass!!! Idc what people say, that thing is a lil beast!

I was goin this weekend but got put on 12 hrs a day 7 days a week today.[/quote]

I think i seen u one day in the river with that boat wit 3 people, befor fools pount, u passed me up in my lil go-devil wheni had it

I got Poly on mine.

J offered me a ride but I had to swim with my little girl.

better be ready to make the investment.... airboats are expensive on the front end and the maintenance is twice that of a MM...

it ain't too bad on maintenance if u don't buy sumbody's junk. try to check the boat out as best u can before u buy if it's a used boat. anything can and will break, but the less u set yourself up for failure, the better off u'll be.

one more thing, if ur the type that worries about money, than a airboat probly ain't for u. lol

There is no way in heck that i could have an airboat that didnt run dry!! I would have that mfer stuck bout everytime i took it out. lol

Mines be for Sale!!

Make me an offer. I don't need one now that Tenpoit has one. If I need, I'll just go get his.

It's about to go work.
But, we can buze cruise in the oil.

tenpoint,

angle valve 0360 with carb = 190hp. gots to have the injection to get the 200.
but you gets much better mileage with the carb.

I wouldn't fuss about 10 HP on a 200HP engine either....

you probably only use about 150-170 of it anyway... 190 is on a good rebuilt motor with very few hrs on it.

Thought youd be froggin tonight J

I just got back from Houston...
I am awaiting SHADOW to arrive. I got my camp all fixed up for him.. Got Shore power and Water hooked up.. Even fixed the toilet.

Waters too high for frogs. I'm waiting on the oil to come this way so that it will kill some of the grass.
