Home  /   Boat Plans & Kits Catalog  /  Special Purpose  /  13' Airboat - swamp boat

Airboat

AIRBOAT is a mixture of airplane and boat with the thrills of both. It's a boat powered by an airplane-type propeller with above-the-water rudders that is capable of skimming over a few inches of water and vegetation. If you need to go through shallow water to get to the best fishing, or if you simply want the excitement of exploring new and usually inaccessible waterways, then airboating is for you.

Our AIRBOAT is simple to build; no complicated building form, difficult curves, or compound bends. This flat bottom boat is made from inexpensive, lightweight plywood using standard 4'x8' sheets. Patterns are given for all framing members to make building easier and eliminate possible errors. Complete material listing and step-by-step instructions take you through building the hull and explain in detail all of the engine components from motor stand, to guard, through steering and controls. Readily obtainable materials are used throughout the construction; materials should be available at your local lumber and hardware store, with the exception of the motor. Plenty of VW air cooled "Beetle" engines are available and they make an ideal, simply modified, power plant for the AIRBOAT.

To further simplify building, Fastening Kits containing all the screws and nails required to build the boat in solid silicon-bronze. Fiberglass Covering Kits, contain all resin and cloth to cover the outside of the hull, plus brushes, squeegee, and rollers.
