Home scratch built airboat built by boatman 1901. Six months of designing and hard work.this is no shabby piece. It is all wood with extensive frame work it is 58 inches long and weighs 23.5 pounds. It is powered by a saito 182 twin cylinder 4 stroke engine.its turnig a 18.5 prop at 13,500 rpm and has 2.98 hp. The workmanship is flawless.the cage is all anodized aviation aluminum. I think it belongs on the front cover of a model boat magazine, its built and painted to perfection. Have not run it yet,,im too scared to scratch it. R.c gator air boats thought it was the nuts.
