RE: scratch built airboat
22CC mac pull start. 16X9 pusher prop. hull is fiberglass with a thin fiberglass top and some 1/4" lanau stringers.structureand rudders are just made of 2 pieces of .063 aluminum and the cage is also aluminum. radio is a flysky 2.4 GHZ.not sure of speed yet. but it runs very well on dry grass. i like running in the water better. i will take better videos once i get it painted. my next one will not be a flat deck. and wont be as heavy either. this was my first attempt and i think it runs really well. next one can only be better.

RE: scratch built airboat
It was recommended to me to run a 13" prop when Iwas asking for help get my plans together for the one I will build eventually.
I do not know much about props myself.
