I agree with Got RPM. I have looked at those kits and they don't lend themselves well to someone who wants the whole airboat experience. Most of those kits were stamped out over 30 years ago and have sat on shelves in shops for that long.
This is the reason i made my design. The dumas boats will not stand up to the running that i have done over the years.
I wish you the best of luck selling your boats. Chris Selph’s Selph Inflicted boats were some of the very best airboat kits made; sadly not made anymore due to lack of demand. The 3-point hydro and tapered flat bottom boats run stellar. I built two hydros and one flat bottom. The little 20-series hydro has run 55.1mph and I’m gonna try for 60. Need to find a tuned pipe header to fit my JETT .35.
