    Beautiful job.
    Jerry back in the day we used to use a Bush hog deck. To roll the loops for the cages.

      ​@redneck.entertainment Back in the early 90s, I built many boats with Jerry. You mentioned in a reply. He was a man, is he okay?

      @@ericmorzella3137 sorry to say but Jerry passed away from cancer at 60 years old 😞. It was right after my boat was finished. At least he got to take it for its maiden voyage in his front yard!! I got a video of him riding it, you should check it out!! If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have this sweet boat! Sure do miss him 🙁

      Thank you Jack! The hull is 13’9” long x 7’9” at the transom, and rides smooth as silk! The motor is an all aluminum LS 6.0 with LS3 heads, it’s a L77 out of a caprice cop car. It comes from the factory with 10.4 to 1 compression!! I got it used and went through it. Went 5 thousands over to clean up the cylinders and used JE forged pistons. Also up graded the cam, nothing crazy. It runs great and been very reliable!!👍👍🍺🍺

      @redneck.entertainment That sounds Good- I have 6.0 LS in an 2004 Silverado 2500hd for pushing 20yrs hard farm work - Cast iron I'm sure but been Cracker Jack Good reliable motor Even compared to my diesel truck - Actually preferred for farm chore Great Motors - I grew up many moons ago 70's running through glades my family always had A/C motors on variety of hulls - Now in my mid 60's I looking into place to retire in Fla. Where not too populated if that's possible in smaller town where I can have Airboat in retirement- I'm trying to learn what be good option for hunting / fishing boat that vacancies handle some deep water safe but be able to run some dry when needed- Haul 4 people & gear- I like the looks of your boat- Didn't mean to get long winded here - Guess I'll try keep learning about what hull / motor combination would work well for Central Fla area- I was thinking about some sort of Aircraft like 0540 but guess Airboat builder people have got the Car motors figured out- Although seems to be lot opinions & options- Take Care Buddy You have a beautiful boat!

      Thank you Jack! We’re beginning to think about moving up that way also to get out of the rat race. I would suggest car motor if you going for a bigger boat to haul more people and gear just my opinion unless you get a really really strong aircraft motor supercharged with a gear.

    Hello Kyle, how much does it weight an engine as yours? How did you calculate needed waterline? Thank you.

    • @redneck.entertainment
      @redneck.entertainment  Рік тому +1

      My motor is a all aluminum 6.0 Chevy LS that weighs 420lbs +/- a little. Didn’t really calculate the water line , I just knew it would work. I seen many other boats with less of a transom height and have no problem. My transom is 18”

      @redneck.entertainment  Рік тому +1

      I bought the tee bars from Dave Simpson. He has a machine to roll them. His are also a little taller and wider, I’m thinking 2”. Definitely worth getting them from him, they come out perfect. The old-school way is to have a jig set up and bend it a little at a time but it’s hard to get them all the same.

    How come y’all riveting?? Is that stronger than welds???

    • @redneck.entertainment
      @redneck.entertainment  10 місяців тому +1

      I think rivets are stronger think about it, airplanes are riveted together. I’ve seen welds crack maybe not the weld itself but the aluminum on the edge of a weld, but there’s plenty of welded hulls out there just your preference

      Rivets won’t crack under vibration. Welds are more rigid than rivets in this application.

      It’s actually 2 sheets joined in the middle of the boat. If you look close The middle stringer has a lot more rivets to hold the two sheets together.
