I bought a project airboat that needs some work. I want to use it as a fun boat and retrieval rig for my mono hull boat. I have a spare radio system with servos, so this will be a cheap build for me.
It has a 30" hull and a K&B .40 motor on it. What would be a good prop for fun or towing? What percentage of nitro fuel should I use as well?
Does anyone know who made this hull?

So, caddydaddy472

This hull seems to be a shockwave

These airboats were manufactured by flytercraft.

Use model airplane fuel with 10% nitro and 18% oil

Awesome!  I did a search and that's what came up!  Thanks!

lack the support of the tank and 1 rudder goes well.

See if this topic will help:

In the models above, you can benefit from the support of the bottom rudder

Another model rudder.

Awesome!  That gives me some ideas on where to start.
