61 engine glow plug and prop
Hi Guys fitted a 61 wow it is fantastic apart from my glow plug only lasted 2 runs lol it was an 8 what is the best to use on a asp 61 and I have a 11 by 6 prop think i could get a 12 by 6 on it whats the best prop to use I tried an 10 by 7 3 blade but not as good as the 11 by
okay I have ran it and it is a 11 by 8 and a 12 by 8 seemed to slow down with the 12 but think i mite be over revving it with the 11 as i have went thro a few glow plugs and they were brand new!!
here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFvJtoLi3GA

I have very good luck with the 11 x 7. The 11 x 6 may be letting the engine turn up too many R's, making the engien run lean and burning the plugs.

Hi Mr Gator sorry for the slow reply making a new boat lol or trying to!
I emailed you months ago and you said you were no longer selling diy kits for boats I didn't mean you were not making them your hulls are fantastic and i want one but as i live in scotland a kit would be better as i have engines and rc gear just not a good hull to put it onto
You have e mailed me before with your boat plans but im no good with wood not got the tools to work it sorry about the misunderstanding kind regards stewart

A question for Mr Gator:
Can we see some of these new designs? All I have seen from your posts here are flatbottoms, and a 3pt hydro. Are there more? Would love to see them. Thanks.

RE: 61 engine glow plug and prop
Thanks for sharing the video! Looks like someone was having some fun!!!
Congrats on your build!!
If you run a 12" prop....try a 12x5 or 12x6.

From the way that the question was ask, it is hard to tell if you are truely into the airboats or if your just trying to be a smart you know what, never the less I hope that your question was answered.

RE: 61 engine glow plug and prop
The reason I asked, was to gain information. Whatever you read into the question, is your own problem. Since nobody seems to be able to ask you a simple question without getting a nasty response, I'll ask another ( just to see what happens).
You claim that the small differences in your boats constitues a new, unique boat, yet you bash another builder for claiming the very same thing. As I have studied some law ( required for the advertising degree I have) I do know some about copyright law. IF the small changes make a new unique boat, the other builder does have the law on his side, even without an actual copyright, as long as he is developing the model for production, or has been denied the copyright ( which may happen if there are others with near identical designs from their own separate origins. All of which must be decided in court.). This is exactly the same argument brought by the music industry about file sharing...and they won
So which way is it? I'll let you decide since you seem to lord over everything here. Are your boats new and unique? If yes, then the same applies to all other builders. If not then the same applies to you, and all you have is one type of boat. Which way is it?

I see that you have not seen many of Gator's boats. <http://cajungatorairboats.com/Gallery1/ > This link will take you to a gallery to see some more. Good luck in your continuing airboat hobby.

Gordy,
Took a look at the Cajun Gator site - had been there before. Again, all I see are flatbottoms, with very minor differences, like size and color. It's like saying a Ford PU is differnet than a Chevy PU or Dodge PU. Maybe arguable, but they are all still PUs. I found this at a differnt site. I think these are all the same builder. These are new and unique, and differnt from each other in radical ways (one exception, the two green ones are similar). I see pontoon style, catamaran (said to be solar powered electric), and flatbottom.
Does the Gator have anythinhg like these? Or are they all flatbottom?(1 outrigger)
