RE: Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
[quote]ORIGINAL: res3567 Can we get vids of the AT recovery hull shown from the ''normal'' view? [/quote] Do you mean take video from onboard the recovery boat looking towards the stranded boat? If so, I do plan to do this. No doubt I'll have another opportunity to push another boat back to shore before long. I ran out of mounts for the GoPRO video camera, but have ordered a bag of them (Ebay). I had to remove the mount from the old A-T hull to mount it to the new step hull. I also have a new recovery boat in the works. Not my design, and never got a response from the original builder, but here's his video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3F3Vh-lYlg[/youtube] Already got all the parts. Will start assembling the hull this week. If you watched the end of my video, you can see all the crud growing in the water that tended to clog the electric outboard on my recovery boat. I'll post pics & details of this build when complete. In the meantime, the A-T recovery barge will have to do.

RE: Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
Met with Dennis yesterday at the Lowes pond in Titusville. Both of us had motor problems. By the second run, mine started dying. He bought a used motor, and the o-rings are probably shot. At least I got to try out the new recovery barge made from the old Alligator Tours hull. Sure beats swimming with the gators! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kde0_uISs8I[/youtube]

RE: Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
Ah, what to do with the stock hull... Add an electric outboard, a scrap box for a couple of batteries, and now have a recovery boat for stalled airboats. [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/photo10.jpg[/image] [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/photo11.jpg[/image] So not a complete waste. Can't wait to test out the new step hull tomorrow.

RE: 1/4 Scale Step Hull Airboat Getting Ready for the Races
That's a nice looking setup! Any worries of the hull holding water? I suspect the prop will blow it out fairly quickly...

RE: Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
Stock hull was 11.5" wide, new hull is about 18" wide. The underside of the hull has a slight arch to it, so it should slide nicely, as does Terry's much larger hull he's been running. Here's a video of his larger boat in action: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmk8IYUyEnM[/youtube] Should have some onboard videos of the new boat next weekend...

RE: Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
Finished up the swap this morning. Transferred the last of the hardware over to the new hull. I decided to leave the radio box on top of the deck, at least for now. This did complicate the swap as the pushrods for the radio gear didn't line up with the notches in the fuel tank pedestal. No biggie, used new Sullivan push rods, and drilled new holes. Don't have time to haul it to the lake today, so I took it for a quick spin in the yard... [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek2criM21ZM[/youtube] This is with the stock .34 motor.

Alligator Tours - Replacement Step Hull
Thanks to Terry (ptr34), I picked up two hulls from him on Saturday. A couple of his custom built step hulls. One large one for my CY27 gasser, the other as a direct replacement for my Alligator Tours Airboat. The stock A T is a fun boat, when it's right side up. Doesn't take much to flip it, and I spend as much time retrieving it as I do running it. Eventually got to be frustrating! Terry made a wider version, about the same length as the stock hull. [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/dscn5607.jpg[/image] [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/dscn5613.jpg[/image] [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/dscn5620.jpg[/image] [image]http://2manytoyz.com/rc/stephull/dscn5621.jpg[/image] I pulled all the hardware from the stock hull, and started transferring it to the new hull. I used stainless steel hardware. Last step to do is to position the radio box, and cut the hull to recess the box. Hopefully finish it tomorrow morning, then give it a test run. Terry did a nice job building both hulls, painting them with "Ford Blue" automotive paint, and spraying the bottom of the hulls with quick slick (teflon paint). Really looking forward to running both boats... SOON! When everything is finalized, I'll be posting onboard videos. [:D]
