Re: Repurposed Boat

Judging from the deterioration of the prop and the rust on the rocker covers I’d say it’s been there a long time. The fuel system looks like it’s based on an automotive carb. An engine that is junk from an aviation point of view can still have value for airboat use, but I’m betting this one is too rusted internally to have any real value. I’d bet on the iceboat theory, especially as there’s no sign of an air rudder behind the prop. Very cool sighting.
