I figured I would at least set the bug motor on the cat hulls. My buddy is ill and we could not get started actually mounting it. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/d4570006/101_2591_zpsnlu9o4ac.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/d4570006/101_2593_zpsb5ldkzve.jpg http:...

I have a used clockwise prop for ultralight or small airboat. It is 64" by 32 pitch with crush ring. 2700 rpm max. 40 to 50 hp. For my boat it turns the wrong way It was used when I got it but it's in good shape needs some varnish. I'll ship it to you. $120 If you need Pics please PM me

I flipped the Waterbug hull bottom side up to work on the hulls. I added some more bridging and cross support. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/101_2472_zps0hhfvbgt.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/101_2472_zps0hhfvbgt.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/...

If you can "Picture" this... Mid February IN MONTANA' An actual traffic jam on the river. Who'da figured ? The boy and I went to check ice the other week and this week we thought we would do a coyote calling/boat trip on the river. We got at the ramp fairly early but not before sunup. Thi...

Water opened up and we splashed the hull in . http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/101_2380_zpsvgqtvwzn.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/101_2383_zpseremhsrh.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/101_2382_zpsnpeqzgkt.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/album...

We started cooking yesterday here.
BIG feed for sure!

http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/IMG_0530-01_zpsmqg0xblh.jpg Dad it felt kinda bow heavy coming back up the river. I suppose it. The boy and a buddy finally connected with some nice deer. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/IMG_0518-01_zpslz82d7jb.jpg No other info then t...

As I'm waiting for my chain and sprockets for the final drive. They should be here sometime today. In the meantime I've been working more on the cat hull. I did find out that Mt will soon require a positive drain in a boat, aka bung plug. Gota put something in even if I never use it. http://i1221.p...

I ordered some sprockets and chain for the bug.
They go from the transition to the prop.
I'll have to have some fabrication done to get the prop to mate up with the drive hub.

OK I have a prop for the Waterbug, wooden. It's in good shape no splits, or peeling made out of laminated wood. Currently it has some Kind of "Varnish" on it and looks worn . I want to recoat it and paint it, camo. What is better? Plan A: sand and seal. Brush on a Good implement enamel fo...

Artiest rendition of the water bug.

Just because I don't talk about it doesn't mean I'm not working on it. Every peace has to be hand fabricated in my back yard and shop with a metric crescent wrench hack saw, and hammer. It TAKES FOR EVER ! I put in some seats and added some support to the sides to carry the motor and drive. I have ...

Absolutely nothing to do with boating... You may have seen this one, Boys Moose. Down By Dillon Mt. Three days of coyote calling in outrages mud, rain and snow. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/moose%20b_zpskqnfazp7.jpg http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/d4570/Copy%20of%20101_...

We call all year long and is the driving reason for the airboat project . Well like most my dog trips it starts well before sun up... This trip I was heading south east of town to the King ranch to hook up with a rancher and try and kill some coyotes. On the way up I was fallowing a smaller SUV and...

I have not given up. I just have to let the Money get down to my project. Maybe If I stopped Hunting every day off... Did some more welding on the tubing around the edge of the cat hulls. Epoxied and riveted brackets to hold it on. Working on a plan to support the motor/drive and prop. http://i1221...

Thanks you too.
We did a two day bird trip east of here, It is raining big time to day here today.
I was working on the Cat's for the water bug today.
