Air Boat Conversion
 |
 |
This Air Boat was originally constructed in January 2002, by GTO Performance Airboats of Ocala, Florida (modified SPV Standard model) for use with a Powered Parachute power plant, but can be fitted for any type of engine, gear reducer or belt drive, and prop that you would like to fabricate. Length 14', depth 25", beam 90". See actual specs below that were taken from the GTO web site. Draft is 4-6" when stopped and only 1-2" when cruising. Notice the removable ramps that allows the PPC to be rolled in, over the bow if you're using that type of power plant. The entire boat is 1/8" (3mm) aluminum with 5-2"x2"x1/4" t-bars reinforcing in the entire bottom. This unit was manufactured in Jan 2002 and has never been in the water, the interior is sprayed with a "non-skid" compound and comes with a B & S Sportsman (#3500) galvanized steel trailer with spare tire. The only mileage is from Florida to New York. Two lockable storage area are in the bow. If you own a PPC and are going to use it with the boat the minimum drstance between the wheels is 56" and maximum 76". If you don't own a Powered Parachute, you can add your own engine and prop. It's ready for conversion. Certificate of Origin for both boat and trailer. List is $7,800. My cost was $5,800. I'll sell it for $4,500. E-mail Bill.
