An Airboat for SurvivalShop...

[98Z5V]

Brother, you live down there where you could REALLY appreciate this one.  I've been watching NRE - Nelson Racing Engines- for about 10 years.  Unreal horsepower.

This is a 2500hp airboat for YOU, brother...

  I always wanted an Airboat , but man, he said 100 MPH in an Air Boat ( at night ) has to be some ballsy $hit . Tuning remote is cool .

 I have seen these Boats with Alison Aircraft Motors in them . I also noticed he has a Duoprop set up , counter rotating , probably for stability , I could see the torque with that motor flipping the boat over .

  I want one !  I didn't see any of these on this motor ; from Florida regulations

 Muffling an airboat's exhaust with automotive-style factory mufflers, underwater exhaust, or other manufactured device capable of adequately muffling the sound of the exhaust of the engine is required in Florida,

We used to go striper fishing below the Texoma dam in airboats....pretty awesome boats...skip right over sandbars no problem...only thing is they are loud....you would think its the motor exhaust making all that racket....a lil from the motor but its the prop causing the most noise...just as in an airplane you are limited by prop speed...I havnt been around them for a long time,but I bet counter rotating props helps with speed....     Wash

That’s where that coating on my buddy’s duck boat came from “gator glide”. I got another video of us skipping a sand bar, not sure I posted it

Pissed I dropped the camera but I was trying to give directions like a rally car navigator

I'll have to schedule a visit to the 308AR R&D facility and see what I can conjure up.

Airboats have some great uses...swamps sandbars fishing hunting and such....but putting a high dollar high horsepower engine in one is in my view a waste of horsepower...theres so many uses for 1000 plus horsepower, and an airboat would be way way down on my list....prop speed ,and working with it is the problem  gearboxes is prolly the best or possibly the only way to approach going fast ...and fast in an airboat isnt that fast...but it still makes ya smile ...guess thats why they make chocolate and vanilla ...what ever floats your boat

Here's a good use for it, brother - maybe I'll get Shepp hooked on some NRE TV...

That video i put up of my buddies boat is powered by a 37hp surface drive mud buddy, the motor is a air cooled lawn mower engine basicly. It’s got heads ported polishes and a voodoopreformance exhaust. It’ll do 30mph with the two of us In it. It’s a 1754 (17’ 54” wide) seriously the most fun I’ve had in a boat not fishing.

I hooked him!!!

Nelson racing sure builds some bad ass stuff, they're right around the corner from where I work, One of the guys I work with that is in pretty tight with them had them do some work done on his little MG - nothing like the chevelle but it is impressive for an MG - cool stuff!!
