35 Go-Devil Surface Drive with the Galvanized Frame. GD even surprised me and sent it with a Stainless Steel muffler. Paul Dixon at http://www.AirboatsUnlimited.com in Bainbridge, Ga did jam up job installing it for me. Bolted a mounting/support bracket on my transom. Installed a larger diameter fuel line and larger fuel filter. Extended my battery cables. All free of charge without asking. It doesn't leave his shop until he's completely satisfied. Headed out to the coast this evening to put an hour or 2 on her. |

Paul is a great man.... builds a nice airboat and Mrs. Carol is a great person to talk to. Notice that is the new CDI motor that is stock with a stainless exhaust and your max RPM is 4200 since it has built in rev limits in the coils... also the 20/50 charging system... and the EU2000 is a nice hood ornament... I think ya wiring on the front deck needs a little work... think about some flex tubing to keep all them wires contained and less likely to be damaged. |

4300 max RPM's on the CDI's... nice rig. also, FTR, all the marines no matter what brand come with a stainless muffler now. why did u go with a larger fuel line diameteR? pretty much all of them recomend 1/4" fuel lines..i had issues with 5/16 and 3/8 fuel line. |

yep thats one of the cdi motors Sometimes with the larger fuel lines the engine starves for fuel. Most folks run 1/4" with no problems at all. congrats on the rig,enjoy it |

Here's my hull. Paul Dixon at http://www.airboatsunlimited.com has this hull built off site and then he does all the rigging for it. He use to build them at his shop, but he's around 70 yrs old, and says he's done building the boats himself. He use to do alot of airboat racing down in Fla in his younger days. Help start Panther Airboats and has something to do with Alumitech also. I know everyone loves their rigs and there are some good looking rigs, I haven't found anything that can replace this one yet. Last year, Paul built me a stainless railing to mount my lights to for gigging. Works pretty good. I re-did the bottom with steel flex before duck season, but had to run over a few oyster bars this year and its starting to scrape off. |

Cool hull design.... Anxious to hear the revue --- especially how she turns at speed and how true she tracks at lo speed too.... |
