BUILDING Homemade AIRBOAT using a SHOP FAN!!! (Will It Work?)

[@FLAIR.]

I’m seeing a lot of comments about other creators doing this. For the record (to my knowledge) no one has attempted to take the blades from a shop fan and attach them to an actual motor. Everyone plugs in the fan to a generator, which obviously won’t propel the boat…

I love how Macey is perpetually unimpressed with his creations, while Flair is constantly trying to convince her THIS idea is actually the greatest ever.

I love how Macy is always so concerned about what Flair is doing

Seeing flair build stuff makes me want to build something

[@stevenreep385]

You misspelled destroy

[@collynroegner3444]

Let’s just be honest while we all want to see this work I don’t think 30,000 for a used airboat would be the most ridiculous purchase this channel has seen… never the less love the content keep up the hard work!

[@mattyjay8896]

This might be the sketchiest Flair build ever, and I freaking love it!😆👍

[@liamshepherd5387]

Watching flair for a few years now videos never disappoint

[@justinscomp]

Flair, you need to go get one of the mini jet boat kits that Cleetus got and have beefcake weld it together. Good times will be had if it works.

[@ThtguySteve]

Bruh.... Flair and Cleetus colab would be ridiculous, but I'd definitely watch it

[@bennieleip579]

@@ThtguySteve I don’t think flair could handle any off the higher hp things they got 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe he would be a good passenger 🤣🤣

[@wword]

“It’s gotta just be normal oil right”😂😂😂😂

[@ThtguySteve]

Personally, I'd use a dirt bike or small motorcycle engine that has an automatic trans and then fit a straight shaft to the fan. You can then use metal mesh gears or a belt system and modify them for more power if needed

[@jessebraun908]

Nothing like a good daddy beefcake video on your 16 birthday 😀

[@jameses797]

I think you might be in the right path with the larger fan. And shortening the shaft might help. IDK. But I would start with the engine first. Make sure it runs alone, before adding the fan. Then as a helicopter mechanic, you got to be careful about dinging up the blades, and bending them. At the speeds they turn the bends and dings will change the way they “fly” through the air. That will mess up the balance, and cause it to shake apart. But definitely make sure your engine is running good first.

[@mattnowlin6626]

Damn I was so invested dude. Y'all almost had it started. Damnnnnn. Lol

[@hassanmohammed2911]

Hey Flair. Maybe your carburetor got flooded with oil when the motor was tilted to the side in the bed of the truck. And another idea is installed the fan blade put a large enough washer behind it at the end of the shaft and drill a small hole and install a cotter pin. That will keep the blade from falling off.

[@b5maddog]

“I mean it’s something” loved that quote! 😂 Wood glue? 🤣

[@lxrd999]

Flair never disappoints with uploading the best content

[@cpsencik04]

Macie coming out and being judgmental is every wife ever and it is fabulous!

[@problytrippin8153]

Okay flair, let’s sell something you don’t use and buy a real air boat like brad has! That’s one thing you can’t cheap out on bud lol the idea of it is cool but you don’t wanna cheap out haha. You’re definitely one of kind flair, can’t take that away from ya lol

[@pinhighdiscdyes]

I mean he could just buy an air boat with the money he makes off this one video alone. He’s swimming in cash.

[@problytrippin8153]

@@pinhighdiscdyes yeah but Adam he has sooooo much money put out there I don’t think he has as much in his personal account. Like yeah he’s obviously rich but I think he’s rich in materials. Houses, property, boats, tractors, side by sides. Gotta remember he owns multiple businesses. So I think he’s rich in that aspect! @FLAIR

[@Tatumprodz235]

Only the OG’s remember welcome back to fishing with flair

[@tjlawrence2326]

Make sure you tilt the blades certain angles to make max air flow.

[@_cobain9783]

Sheew got the day off and flair drops a video days going good 👍 can’t complain

[@jameses797]

Also, I’d start with checking the engine for spark first. Since you tried starting fluid and it didn’t really work, pull the spark plug, and clean it and all the connections to it.

[@brandonbrewer21]

Right... If it was the fans fault that it wasn't starting... Wouldn't it of started when the fan fell off? 🤷

[@brandonbrewer21]

I feel like he destroyed 2 fans without making sure the engine ran. Did you put more oil in it? Some engines have an oil sensor that won't let it run if it doesn't have enough oil.

[@brianwolf692009]

It's getting spark. That's why it popped and scared him.

[@gtpforever]

@@brianwolf692009 doesn't mean it's getting spark correctly 🤷‍♂️

Flair got the airboat bug after running in Brad the Builder's airboat! 😀

[@austinhughes1924]

I’m 24 years old.And I’ve been thinking about making my own airboat.Like this for a long time!

[@dalegereaux1863]

Did you pull the spark plug out and check to see if your cylinder got filled with oil when it was tipped over in the truck at the store ? That might be why it's not firing.

[@stanleyshelby7460]

You did it once again...kept me watching for 42' just to prove my thoughts were correct. Someone that also watched hopefully can assist on what to do.

i love how flair shows the good and the funny bad thanks flair

[@brianbucket7012]

Hello, Flair. To my untrained eyes, there isn't any difference in the quality of emergency preparedness offered by the doomsday shelter you built by your first backyard pond, and the nuclear missile bunker you toured. Still, if you buy the bunker, I hope there will be a catch, clean, and cook video where you use some of the supplies, such as the spaghetti sauce, that are stored in the bunker.

[@codywilson9653]

Oh man I just laughed for 43mins! The last 5 mins had me in tears!😂 “this things not going anywhere, I mean the blades are smaller than a box fan!”😂😭

[@zackereehohman9525]

In my opinion you could leave the fan in its original cage. Mount it on the back of the boat. Ditch the whole orignal setup. (Keep the motor). Im guessing it is 3/4" shaft. Get some drive shaft from McMaster. Run the shaft through the fan with a bearing setup. And they make a deal that goes over both drive shafts and lock in with set screws. To fix your "Neutral" problem. Get a cvt setup. Like what's on snowmobiles. Then I would build a permanent stand for the motor and mount it in the boat. The fact that I just wrote this and Flair is just gonna look at it like I'm insane is just hilarious. 😂🤣

Using a leaf blower to help spin the fan more while starting it could possibly help also whatever u can do to make the distance between the motor and the fan closer
