- The simplest way I’ve found to make a usable airboat. Mount a powered parachute in a mini airboat hull. Subscribe and follow along to see this thing run.
Rotax 582. 65hp.

Nice, those 582 rotax always surprise me, so much power in such a small footprint.
Awesome engines in a light boat. I’m excited to get it back out and show what it can do.
@@ridinreeds i heard you say no poly, do you run any type of slick bottom? Down here in Louisiana some of the minis are starting to run “gator glide” and “frog spit” and some of the others that the mud boats run, do y’all run anything like that there?
@@swamplandoutdoors yes we have that here and it would definitely help. But we run the great salt lake a lot. The sand and coral would take it off as fast as I put it on so I’ve never spent the money.
I love that prop, it's same prop we use on our airplane on ch701
That’s awesome and yes. The adjustability is worth losing a little thrust to me. And the cost is actually really good for how well they work in my opinion.
Suuubscribe is so cute at the end it’s so cute❤
Lol. Yeah it is!
We hunt the same area your running in on foot once it freezes up. I'm looking at purchasing mini without poly to help us get to the birds further out. My question is do you run poly or recommend it running on ice. Will it destroy your hull without poly?
That’s awesome. I would recommend poly if running ice. What size hull are you looking at and is it fiberglass or aluminum? Also what size engine? Poly will add some weight and drag from what I’ve heard in open water. I haven’t personally compared similar boats though I’ve just been told.
Will it run over wet sandbars that are exposed, and some dry sand? Would like to build something similar
Depends how fast you hit them. Lol this one does not run dry well. However there is a lot of forward weight with the seating. If you were to use this engine and get more weight on the back it could probably trim the engine a little better and be okay in a light hull. Weight is what will kill you with small hp.
Hi Buddy exelent videos!!! what model of ivo propellers do you have?? thanks
Thank you! This boat is running an ivoprop ultralight 3 blade.
thanks!!!@@ridinreeds
@@DAWGGHUNTER no problem.
What sort of mesh is that around the prop guard?
That is used trampoline netting I found in the classifieds and zip tied down. It’s been on at least three years now. Not the prettiest and probably robs some efficiency but it works.
I wanna build one.. need prop info and anything else you have. Thank you!
This is an ivoprop 64”. Very easy to adjust. Most powered parachutes I’ve seen are running those props. Are you planning on building your own stand and piecing it together or finding a powered parachute and mounting it?
What is that just a john boat hull?
It is a dragonfly 13x7 airboat hull
I want 1
Go for it! It’s cheaper than most mud motor setups and a lot more capable.
How fast is it?
This one maxes out if I remember right in the low thirties. With a couple people and a heavy load of gear we are still doing mid twenties.
@@ridinreeds How much dose it cost,sir?
@@engudom3105 just depends how much you can do yourself vs. buy. There is a very large variable.
I genuinely think I can build me one. I think it's time to buy a welder.
Even if you had to pay to have those parts welded it would still be simple. Hopefully this video helped.
I want one so bad what’s your instagram so I can dm you to build me one
Hey just seen this. Same name on instagram. And Facebook if messenger is easier.
