Title: this was a first for my careere
Post by: Mike8560 on February 24, 2011, 05:53:49 pm
We. had to make a airboat cover not for the whole boat just the seats and cage over the motor and rudders.
Only paterned the left half witht the tiller /steering arm it has a sock to cover it the right side was mirrowed without the tiller sock the rear of the fan had a zipper to ease instalation.

looks good mike, did you pattern with plastic ?

We don't see them in the UK, I wanted to build a
hovercraft but they are not allowed on the rivers where
I live so i doubt if air boats will be .
