Complete Airboat Rebuild

That's a lot of prop. I'm spinning 3 blades but on a 84 inch hub. They hold 750ftlb of torque on a 2 pitch. Same reduction

Sensenich told me 3 blades would hold it and be more snappy but 4 blades would push harder. We will see

I have listened to that motor at least 27 times

It will be great. Probably won't have a lot of pitch? I really considered going 4 blade on a 82 hub. My blades go a little below the transom line which causes a little air splatter.

Just a hair under the mid-point of adjustment gave me 5100 rpm on the trailer. Time will tell if that’s the correct setting

Mine is the only airboat that’s ever been in there. The area in the pics is the shotpeen, phosphate and welding shop, grind shop joins it on other side of the curtains and then building in front is PTA hard facing and CNC machine shop.

Oil field stuff and? Sounds like y’all can take stuff from start to finish. Very cool.

I actually added 1 degree of pitch to it, I haven’t checked WOT on the trailer sense the change but it movies around on the ground better it seems.

This boat would never dry load before but she will climb on the trailer with ease now!

Full 40 gallon tank of fuel and 6 people up back of tank dam and dry load.
