A lot of airboats don't want to move across dry ground until you like floor it and work the rudders back and forth. That loosens up the contact with the ground so that it can start moving.

How cool was that, Skippy lives.....!!! Now that the engine is "kind of" in, you should stick it back into the pool to look at the sitting weight distribution, empty vs passenger/driver loaded & before you mount the gas tank Ect... Also before you weld up the engine mount's permanently you might want to make them adjustable! Make the rear engine mounts pivotal/hinged and the front mount's adjustable height wise on blocks with multiple hole "settings" that way you can change the prop to transom angle easily to help get the boat into a neutral trim under load while testing it. The overall mounting height of the engine to the bottom of the hull is key as well. Ask you're airboat guys as there's a rule of thumb on how deep the tips of the blade's should be past the top of the transom. Can't wait to see Skippy's 1st voyage!

Kyle, It looks as though the main engine/seat rail is parallel to the main plaining hull part while the actual engine has down thrust when it needs about 2 degrees of up thrust. Ask your AirBoat Boiz up your way for some clarification. I am the original Florida Man, been here my whole life. Boats, Buggys and Mud was my thing in the 80's! never give in, never give up

Definitely, if you could make the old twin turbo setup work it would be gnarly! plus you can balance the boat so you're not riding low in the water. You could probably do the same with the jet boat! You really need to get that jet boat leveled out and riding a little lower in the rear so you aren't fighting drag. Drag squares with speed so reduce drag!

Just a bit of advice. I wouldn't ever stand on either side of the cage while it's running. If a prop comes apart the pieces go straight out either side of the cage, or out the top or the bottom of the boat. I've seen props come apart and it is quick and violent, and the pieces go through whatever they hit. The last one I saw come apart sent the largest piece straight through the boat hull cutting about a foot and a-half long hole through it about 3 inches wide, which sank the boat in about 8ft of water. And other smaller pieces from it went through the cage. They can be very dangerous.

It's not moving because of the engine's pitch angle. It's just digging the nose under power. You need to lift the rear of the engine up so that it has between 3 to 6 degrees of upthrust. You can keep throwing power at it and it will dig the nose harder and not move. In the water, it will dig or tail wobble without proper upthrust. I'm pretty sure Kyle even mentioned it in the video.

I'm no airboat expert, but I do fly RC airplanes...It looks like it has a problem that can effect planes that have the motor mounted above the wing, that of pushing the nose down. Since you don't have the motor mounts done yet, making ones that can adjust the pitch of the prop a few degrees fore/aft might be well worth the time needed to do it. You don't want it to slam the nose into the water when you go full throttle...not only will that waste energy, it might even cause it to take on water.

You can hand prop start airboats just like planes. It takes a few rotations to get to speed even if it catches, so you are fine. The worst that can happen is detonation spinning the prop backwards and it hits the back of your hand, hurts like hell! Airboats are actually safer than most planes as you can't get your clothing sucked in, because you're on the other side starting it.

With the horsepower to weight ratio on that thing, it won’t have any problem running dry. I have a flat bottom sled with a gearbox 4.3 with maybe 250 hp and it’s point and go dry. Once you put the turbo on that thing, you’re gonna pat the gas runnin dry. You won’t have to wiggle it just mat it till it moves and ease back on it. You’re gonna be surprised at how nasty this thing will be. If you get it to make 400hp which is easy for y’all, it’ll be point and go

It'll have no problem spooling a gt35, if anything go bigger. I'd imagine the resistance to the engine is exponential with rpm, so you're not really using much power till 5k ish rpm. Add that to the fact that you don't really need throttle response, spool is the last thing you need. I'd prefer a relatively large turbo at low boost for longevity/optimal performance at 8k. Kinda my same school of thought with the jet boat but obviously that has a different target rpm.
