Default Push or Pull Setup for an Air Boat??

Sold a puller type boat I had and want to start a new one. What are the advantages of push vs pull set up on the prop. Will be steering with a rudder in the water. The hull is a cat type I have in mind with full length sponsons and steps. Length 30 inches.


regards Curt

I'm not an airboat person but from my limited plane experience, it's a toss-up. A tractor setup (prop in front) would help cool the motor easier. A pusher setup would get a cleaner flow of air to the rudder(s).
