You have done a fantastic job! Nothing to be sorry about. Like most things we build from the ground up they are things that we have to tweek. You will get it done I’m sure. Looks really nice!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No discouragement! No need to move everything. Extend the hull by Boxing in behind the transom and make it a small tool storage area wit some diamond plate doors on top.
@@BoondockingCajunstyle yes Sr. That’s usually the way it goes. So many things to consider fabing a boat, especially with weight distribution and displacement. You almost got it whooped though, won’t be long and you’ll be flying across the water in it.
When I saw the linkages between the rudders, I knew something was up. I felt like that wasn't going to last long. On the bright side you have the entire frame finished and the schematics set up so it shouldn't be too long before you get the boat working properly.
I made the rod too short, where that the rod end bearing wasn't threaded in enough plus I didn't lock the jam nut. They all will be rebuilt so that ot is threaded in more.
I'm sorry I didn't see this comment. I do have several hundred pounds of lead. That maybe could help. These little boats are extremely weight sensitive. It is a lot of work to move everything but, it is something that needs to be done. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Just out of curiosity, why do you have the adjustment between the rudders? My airboat rudders are bolted to a solid bar. I dont see any reason to adjust them

Most definitely true. I'm not the type of person that is scared to admit to something of my work, needing to be done better
Harold you are doing one amazing job on the Mini Air boat. Can't wait to see it out on the water.
I believe once I make these few changes it's going to be all good.
I'm looking forward to the next video
I'm thinking that I will have most everything adjusted and will have video on the water. Just going to take some time with shipping to and from

Already in the process of moving the engine stand and redoing the cage. No discouragement, honestly I was expecting it to be this way

@@0iCu81b42 we are definitely looking for that.

Btw.. A great looking fabrication Sr.
Thank you very much appreciated
Sorry Harold for your disappointment ..but we know you will achieve your goal...thanks for sharing .
Thank you.
Just part of the game, we definitely going to get everything worked out
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.....NO DISRESPECT INTENDED...YOUR WIFE IS BEAUTIFUL YOU LUCKY GUY!
@onehappyoldgoat7124 none taken. Yes she is and a cajun lady
Thank you for watching and commenting
Would adding ballast (lead) in the bow balance the boat easier than shifting everything?
I'm sorry I didn't see this comment.

@@BoondockingCajunstyle You're welcoma and thanks for showing your work. Watching you makes all my projects seem way less difficult.
Just out of curiosity, why do you have the adjustment between the rudders? My airboat rudders are bolted to a solid bar. I dont see any reason to adjust them
Just to get all of them tuned together. Once all are aligned they will be locked into place. These little boats need all the help they can get
You could get away with two rudders id bet.
I strongly consider that. The consideration that one engine may break down. With 4 rudders I would have a better chance of some control.
@@BoondockingCajunstyle with that low hp, one rudder will do more than enough work. Should have done two 22s. Negligible weight difference
@@jayyep6974 pair of 22s would be interesting,
