Guy's i am looking at installing a sheet of Teflon that is normally used on the airboats.

Haven't look much into it so i was wondering who sells it and installs?

Basically the advantages and disadvantages?


Thanks in advance.

you can get in from Robicheaux's airboats in Franklin most likely..

Idk how much it would really help on a mudmotor... maybe help take some stress off the hull when hittin trees and stumps... In lillies it might help untill it heats up then gets sticky.

I'm actually in the process of building a 16' x 48" with 3/16" bottom flat to put my gator tail on. I was thinking of putting the teflon to help slide on mud and crossing stumps in the thick lillies, i was thinking it would just make it easier to move my hull around being i go in evry scenarion there is.

I've been told the froggspit stuff works good and it will be lighter, so maybe that's a possibility.

i know in green lillies or thick flotaun the teflon on our airboat gets hot and drags us down...

a lil spray rig helps a lot though... some liquids are better than others

GT has installed teflon on a few hulls, Dunno where the source for the teflon is?

I put 1/8" uhmw on my first GT boat and am getn ready to put it on my current GT boat. I stick it on with 3M 5200. Once it cures it is a Biatch to get it off. It makes a huge difference in the lilies, mud, sand and on stumps and logs.

Learned that lesson the first time I unhooked at at the ramp.
