All those tie wraps on the cage, and the shark eyes tie wrapped to da cage are kinda gangsta, but that engine is bad a$$. I just sold my airboat too and kind of miss it already. They are sure fun, but they can get expensive quick.

The tie raps were a quick fix
I did not have many problems with mine ran it for over a year and a half and all I had to do was change the oil and play with the carb a few times
That was one of the only boats I ever had I made money on
Bought in Fl. for 20K and sold to some guy in south Tx for 26K

A carbureted LS engine ...... Should have left it fuel injected! Although I have never seen one, But a Fuel injected Airboat would be LEGIT.

You can opt for the fuel injection but it is about 3 to 4 grand more
Dave hart with water thunder builds a hell of a motor
Has some putting out 700+ HP
They are all designed for airboats

If you build the RIGHT fuel injected motor it will perform right.. You need the best heads, a big throttle body, High flow injectors, quality fuel pump, a badass cam, and a great EFI live tune. Then we are talking. Most people do not know enough about fuel injection around here, thats why its not used much.

Yeah i guess thats why I have to slowly easy into the throttle, cause I aint got all that fancy stuff. But it does do the job.

Get on dieselplace.com and search EFI live. They have many guys that do mail order tunes for these trucks.
