The boat of choice for go fast airboaters there has a fuel injected Corvette V-8 in it. Not the type of thing that would give you much reaction time in a slick flat bottomed conveyence with no brakes. Steve Yeah, and for the most part, it looks like a reversing propeller isn't an option, either. That would be a scene out of Wiley Coyote. All thrown off the front of the boat, and the boat takes off backwards with no pilot. Only props I ever saw were pushers. Steve There's real potential for that... http://www.warpdriveprops.com/ Sorry. Should have been clearer and said that the only types of propellers I have seen on airboats were pushers. Of course, there are reversible props for aircraft, or even airboats. I just never saw them. Steve Cutting the power on a boat will stop a planing boat almost instantly. I don't know how a flat bottom boat would react. Probably the same, especially if running in weeds. Two words that cover just about anything: should and probably. Steve I don't think so. |
