Nice job! A lot of work going into this, can't wait to see how it floats and runs.

Having fun is hard work sometimes! Not the biggest but big enough!

That is an awesome project, hope it turns out well.

I have never wanted to build an air boat, but would like to build my own boat some day, an aluminum and a fiberglass one... will have to wait for my son to get a little bigger, he is only 19 months old and at this point if daddy is outside he is too, but I spend more time keeping an eye on him and out of trouble than getting anything done.

Good luck
