Weedeater Airboat - Made Aluminum Hull after 8 years - First Test! 

Friggin awesome !!! I can't wait 🤗😉🙃😎 NZ

I love this video, back in the 90s I built one with two electric motors and then I cut out the hull and put nine wheels on it. I might have to build another one and thanks for the inspiration !

I've always wanted to do the air boat, built a v hull 10 years ago. This video got me to start playing with it again

Love this man . I love these cheap weed eater engine projects

Thanks for the vid!

Need to adjust the pitch of the engine to lift the back up 2 degrees or 3 degrees then change the prop to increase air flow the proper is pushing

That's I'm making one myself out of Aluminum just curious did you Champer your corners on the bottom of your hull in the aft? Because if not that will make your hull grab and catch while you are turning and if yo do the hull has a lifting affect in the stern and on the transom if you add a plate going aft on the fop edge it will also help control your stern wake from flooding the hull when you slow down one other thing you might want to think about adding some weight in the bow because the flatbottom hull is a high planing hull you get so much lift and with a little bow down when you power down the bow drops wich helps eliminate the stern wash from swamping the boat and it also helps with low speed maneuvering. But you did a hell of a job good work. After looking at some of your videos I have to Add GO NAVY

Hull needs a step. That will help it get on plane.

Consider an electric conversion. Just imagine Reverse! , plus the weight. My last was only 6.7 lbs with the battery installed.

Did you get a "Pusher Prop"? or is the prop still on backwards? If it's backwards and not a pusher prop then you'll never get the thrust the motor will actually produce and thats what it looked like in the video. I hope you get it worked out... looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Great build. Stuff like that isnt fun at all without my friend.

Go online and goggle airboat's and you will see what I mean about the stern with the deck plate and the chine of the hull on the stern because I don't think you'll need to raise freeboard of the hull.

I built mine out of 1.6 al , enclosed hull all tig welded up, in 1988 using a 1hp nitro engine. Still got the engine. Went 100x faster than um never mind

take the sides off , the water won t stay on

a 26cc engine needs to be in a boat about 5 feet long n 18" + wide.

Crap
