I think I've seen this boat in a video or one just like it Faron or someone posted on BFC. Isn't it pretty new? And isn't that like a 70 hp motor or somthin?! Could be another boat but it looked real similar. |

Those are expensive little things too, i was looking at one before i bought my GTR and they are pretty cool looking, heard they run pretty good too. Watched alot of videos of the guys in florida doin there mini airboat runs. if they were legal where i hunt i'd have one for sure, those little things will go |

15K for a stock 35.... you are looking at 18-19k for one with a modded motor.... If you want to get into airboating it is a whole different world vs a mud motor.... everything cost twice as much as you expect.... I really enjoy my boat but look into getting a rotax or a 90-100hp continental engine.... these modded briggs have the power but it can get you into trouble if you are not careful.... keep it in the wet stuff |

| Post subject: | Re: A Little Mini Airboatin' |
I can agree... if you gonna spend the money get the power... 4-6cyl lycoming... very reliable but just be ready to pay the price to fix it if it ever does break and of course the rebuild about about 2500hrs +/-. I really enjoy my mini especially since I can ride around for hours on only 6 gal of gas. Burn rate right now is about 2 +/- gal an hour with my modded Briggs. That is the plus side... I do wish I had a little more power so do not cut yourself short. |

Well when I get tired of the Briggs I will go 4 banger on the same hull.... We went back and rebuilt my hull stronger (.125 all over with 2x2x1/4 T-Bar) and now I have 1/4" poly on bottom.... Still gets up in deep water and runs 25-27... shallow I can get up to 35 maybe 40 when the wind is calm... I will flat out get stuck on the marsh if i slow down too much... momentum is a must... If I have a little speed I can run sections of marsh but I have not pushed my luck since I have been out by myself riding mostly... Also learned a valuable lesson around sand bars.... DO NOT STOP |
