I built an airboat with a Turbocharged Corvair Spider engine, and it was crazy fast. Had it on the water twice and got so much heat from the Fish and Game people. They were telling me it was too fast for the river. This was before the 80 mph bass boats.

I sold the boat to the Fish And Game Department down on the Texas coast. They used it like an interceptor to catch poachers and drug runners. They wanted my permission to build more using my design. I gave my approval of course. They never did as far as I know.

you of had a heck of a idea, there was a guy here making them but at a 30 thousand dollar price tag he didn't last long

The Spider engines were hard to get and and a similar air cooled air craft engines were costly.

Darn it now I have the urge to build another one using ducted fans!

  • @ Hambones amps:
    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
