AIRBOAT - #SSK 4
AIRBOAT, a mixture of airplane and boat with the resultant thrills of both. Of course it is a boat powered by an airplane type propellor with large above the water rudders. But what boat is capable of skimming over a few inches of water and vegetation? Only an AIRBOAT. It you need to go thru shallow water to get to the best fishing, or if you simply want the excitement of exploring unusual and new, seemingly inaccessible waterways, then AIRBOATING is for YOU.

Our AIRBOAT is simple to build; no complicated building form, difficult curves, or compound bends. The flat bottomed boat is made from inexpensive, lightweight plywood in standard 4'x 8' sheets. Patterns are given for all framing members to make building easier and eliminate possible errors. Complete material listings and step by step instructions take you thru building the hull AND explain in detail all engine components from motor stand, to guard, thru steering and controls. Readily obtainable materials are used throughout the construction; nothing is required that shouldn't be available at your local lumber and hardware store, with the exception of the motor. Plenty of VW aircooled Beetle type engines are available and they make an ideal, simply modified, powerplant for an AIRBOAT. The hull type is a flat bottom, airboat scow, for plywood planking.
