Water Walkers Dual Sync Water Line Drive Airboat

A short video from our chase boat showing the Dual Sync Boat running the Ridge and doing a totally off throttle stop in deep water. The variable transom worked perfect with just a small splash over the back.

[@angargoy7181]

It is a good idea, I really like it, it is something original, my congratulations from Spain

[@rlburke04412]

I didn't really understand the mechanics off the water Walker but it was very cool post more videos thanks.🐧

[@masterwong6412]

Great Entertaining video

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

Very clever, top marks

[@thomasritter3159]

Heck down here in Louisiana we build them 16 to 18 feet wide with four engines on them for the seismograph teams.

[@randycarroll2885]

Very true I used to work with Seiscom Delta United out of Houston and we had an airboat with four big ass engines on it

[@cbudginas]

Saweeet airboat. Lucky

[@dockwalk6260]

Very cool

[@user-sb9dx2ub7k]

love you r boat

[@glennoropeza3545]

Smart engineering! The fans are kept low for a better center of gravity thus increasing thrust and handling characteristics!! The retractable transom door looks like a liability issue!

[@jimstrauss5675]

IiThank

[@jimwortham8634]

Like it or not bottom line looks like a lot of fun wish I was there

[@Mr91495osh]

Just add a Bimini top, very neat

[@Mr91495osh]

Raising the props 18 inches would negate the need for a mechanical transom. But damn interesting. Who makes it?

[@asherdie]

It would also make it harder to go under low clearance bridges.

[@michaelwashington2682]

Nice it's funny how the water doesn't come in the boat when he slows down?

[@alanpartington7244]

Why the music letting us hear it run would have been a wee bit better

At least it’s a good song damn it

It’s a music video. Really annoying

[@Gipper3670]

Why does most every air Boat channel I try to watch have the Loud ass music,,

[@sacadosjaune]

Dear Sirs Congratulation for this nice system. May I have 3 questions please ? - The propellers seems to be on the same plan. They have a contrarotative rotation. Are the blades engaging together ? - Have you a gearbox to obtain the contrarotative rotation ? With final drive by belt ? - I search since a long time this music titlle, can you tell it to us ? Waiting for your answers. Daniel (France)

[@filster1934]

Daniel, the song is Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. Typically, airboats have one propeller, and it is common these days to have a gear reduction unit reducing the RPMs of the engine, because, more airboats are being powered by automotive engines, which produce power at a higher RPM, which is not best for a propeller. Airboats with aircraft engines do not need gear reducers as they are designed to produce horsepower at the correct RPM for the propeller. I would bet the reduction box on this boat was custom made. They typically use a cogged belt drive system to link crankshaft to prop. I don't know how they get the reverse rotation on the props. Possibly an extra cogged belt? Here is a good look at the gear reduction drive kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXOppZR9r7qIi7s

[@sacadosjaune]

@@filster1934 Thank you for your answer Flister and for those technicals informations. The reducer have certainly a reverse inside for the two outgoing pulley. Your second video gived me interesting informations. Again thank you. With best regards, have nices trips with your machine !

Just another future recovery. It will sink faster than it can take off. Not if but when.

All I have to say is why

[@sevtecsev]

A Sevtec Vanguard hovercraft would easily handle everything I saw in the video with one less joy riders, on only 16 to 20hp, not the automotive engine used here. Those high advance ratio props sure look nice, but one would suspect they would cost more than a whole Vanguard construction kit.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

The skirts on a hovercraft would last about 5 minutes running through sawgrass

[@sevtecsev]

@@rogermccaslin5963 I too was surprised that the skirts did last well in the Everglades as I have lots of experience in the swamp when I lived in the Miami area. Now, those Elkhorn corral remnants in the Everglades that were hiding in the sawgrass really did give the craft hull a thumping!

[@asherdie]

It's the same, except. it's as capable, except... You wanker. How will those skirts look after some cypress knees.

[@quiettime6871]

What is the top speed of your hovercraft? How much weight can it carry?

[@TheKRU251]

But the Airboat looks good. The SevTec is just plain ugly......but effective in the right environment. Think hover maintainance is far higher though.

[@Mr91495osh]

The main problem with airboats is noise. The engine needs to be containerized to limit the sound. It’s Not a big problem to do this.

[@lw7238]

The noise coming off those things is obnoxious.

[@asherdie]

The noise is one of the attractions.

[@lw7238]

@@asherdie I like the sound of a nice sounding gas engine but was never attracted to prop sounds unless it was a Huey at distance.

[@asherdie]

@@lw7238 mmmmmm Iroquois

[@craigbielsky115]

the noise is from the propeller not the motor ......motor is no louder than a street car its the prop beating the air makes all the noise....

[@thomasmahoney9748]

You are wasting about 30% of the thrust by having them so low and obstructed by the transom. :(

[@thomasmahoney9748]

@@vannomad6458 30% of the PROP is obstructed by the back of the boat. What part of this do you not understand?
