I have an 18X60 Duracraft with outboard power, remote steer.
Lots of shallow rivers nearby. What would be involved in converting to an air boat type motor?
Good idea, or not?
Obviously would need a good protective cage and steering rudders(?).
Would a flat Corvair or Subaru engine work? Or maybe aircooled Volkswagon engine?
Do air boats use some kind of gearing to make the prop go faster?
Anyone have any experience or ideas in this area?
