I don't think I'd trust flying in it but it has all the making of an Everglades style air-boat.

Finally, a two-stroke inboard for the tender. Kids never grow up, they just learn how to behave in public, occasionally.

Could that be the basis of a 2-man hovercraft? Perhaps call it "ROBBO'S REVENGE"!

This looks like a hold my beer moment.

Make an airboat!!!

I used to go microlighting with a mate of mine by Formby a few years back. Trust me, once you go up in one, you know what scarry is 😂 it's like flying sat in a pram 😮😂.

I just love it when Simon gets so tickled. You boys sure are having fun.

While the cats away the mice make a mess for the cat to clean up U guys are absolutely hilarious !!

Plane, trains and automobiles when are you buying a train?😂😂😂😂

propeller looks like it was left out in the rain and like its going to rip to shreds... good thing you are wearing all this protective gear :D

That's the Best 23 minutes I have seen for a long while. Grin factor 10!!!

That was a great episode. Boys will be boys😂. Either an airboat or hoovercraft. I think a hoovercraft would be more fun.

AIR BOAT!!!! c'mon fella - what could possibly go wrong!!

That's a good trike, now you need a wing. In the '76 I crossed the Mediterraneam, from Málaga in Spain to Melilla in Morocco, in one I made. 260 Km. Record at the time. They are very easy to fly, but be careful. And you need an air filter.

Yeah a swamp boat would be so cool! And a fairly large flat bottom boat would actually be useful for getting thing back and forth from Sarinda. If practicality means eventually you end up removing the blower and using a boring old outboard. The fun project could still be helpful in the long run 😊

I did not think it would push the van , wow

A suggestion for you. Take every screw bolt fastening device and clean rust off. Then inspect for wear. Aviation is a very unforgiving mistress.

That looked like a blast. You guys are crazy though.

Air filter: lockwired in place Carby fuel bowl: na . . . Nice Rotax, I'd be finding a small alloy punt and building an airboat. That would be perfect for the mudflats and would be 100% worth the effort!

Looks like great fun. Like that old saying Boys and there toys.

To much fun. Just to much fun! Thanks for the video. Jon

Interesting little gem , it will be great whichever way you Lads decide to do with it.

Big boys and Toys o my . to much time on your side, last seen heading to infinity!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

You've got all the mechanicals you need for a hovercraft, message if you would like some details

Looks like a Gyro copter, I think all you need are the copter blades atop the high post. They are not powered but spin and provide lift by the forward movement. I always wanted one.

Hi guys, I woke up early this morning at 4:15 am because of phantom pain decided to have a look what’s on KZfaq I’ve never laughed so much for a long time. You guys are crazy but I love it. Keep up the good work Cliff from Australia

Really fun episode. I enjoyed it a lot!

Thx for the vid.

G'day Crew, If its finished its flying days ,then an airboat is the obvious move ,with the right hull. Or... A hovercraft, if a good working hull section can be found . Respect....!

You two guys cannot be left alone!!!!!

Whatever you decide to do with it, please add a prop guard, especially when you're going to be taking camera closeups. One meeting with the running prop would be your first and last.

Fun video thanks.

Air boat would be fun and so would a air -Trike, get the forks and front tire from a old motorcycle and put it on along with bigger tires in the rear and a prop guard and when you want an air-boat drive it onto a Jon boat with a tiller system then BOOM goes the DYNOMITE ! LOL. Thats what I'd do for sure !

Yup, haven't got one of those. Simon, you were liftin just as it was getting on the pipe Mate, its got more in it lol

Airboat would be a great idea. All you need is the engine and propeller. You need to make a frame to hold the engine, a guard for the propeller, and air rudders behind it a stick and cables controls the rudders so you can steer and Bob’s your uncle.

Used to go microlighting, sounds a good engine, funny how everyone relates size to safety, if the engine stopped I'd rather be in one of those than a cessna, but I would buy an old Rib and make a Airboat version 😁 0:54

That could be a new tender for air Sarinder . A small flat boat could hold a lot of garbage , and the tide’s would not be a big problem any more .

Looks like fun dude. Maybe a little Mad Max thing.

I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish.

Hovercraft? They are just th engine you have and Stitch and glue Ply. And sewing machine tent fabric skirt could then help get to Sarinda across the mud

Well you two I think somewhere between a hover craft / air boat as got to be a laugh a minute 🥴😀😀😀

Given your recent drone experience - this is slightly worrying! Don't forget your dead snake for that Mad Max chase scene moment.

To me that does look like an hovercaft. Year a bit of a project, but could be usefull for transporting stuff to and from the big project. maybe, I think, or not, no idea.

Big long sandy beach!...and let her go!! 😆😆😎

Those props are delaminating…! But yeah.. airboat

I used to do hang gliding, I have had a go in one of these, but it wasn't my thing.

Wow, what a toy! Strange, I saw a Bond type one for sale yesterday at Newark Autojumble! Tear the engine out and fasten the prop to the front of the new garden workshop. Find a fast spinning alternator and use it in emergency on Sarinda! Stay well and out of the wind!

Use it as a tool. Pull a sled with it, and use it to pull material to and from your boat. Love you.

My first thought, before you even mentioned it, was to make a fan boat out of it. Might enable you to get out to sarinda even on extremely low water. Just get some crappy old flat bottom aluminum skiff, fabricate up some motor mounts and a prop cage, boom!

Hovercraft would be useful tender over marshland. PS for gods sake cover that prop! Cheers Pete.

Don't be scared now, you've bought it now get a wing and all the other necessities for and your off into that wild blue yonder!! Soar like an eagle not crow like a chicken!

Your screws aren't just loose, they fell out! 🙂

Candy floss machine 😂😂

Just have to add Free-spinning 3 bladed Rotor Like James Bond had in 'For your eyes only' I think, The one with the Volcano and the 2 Kungfu Daughters. Whatever , it still needs a Cage around to prevent Arm losses.

Very early 503 Rotax ultralight engine, kettering ignition with an A-drive reduction. All obsolete now.. The 2 means 2 up or 2 place.

It’s rotax I had one and flew one, great weightshift microlight in their day

I always fancied flying, but am prevented from obtaining a CAA pilot's licence due to being a bit colour blind. However, I could fly a hang-glider as they were under the BHGA at that time and I could subsequently obtain a power qualification for one. The snag came shortly after I qualified on hang-gliders (and bought my own), with two fatality incidents with one particular brand of microlight kit in the same year. The CAA threw up its hands in horror and took control of powered flight, requiring a PPL(d) licence, which I am unable to obtain.

You guys are NUTS!

add it on top of sarinda for manoeuvring in the shallows

Boyz & Toyz springs or flys to mind, oh oh Gemma, get some control here Pleeeeaaaze XX

A Mainair Ultralight, looks like fun.

LEGENDS!

Build a prop driven motorbike, that should be straght up your alley Simon🤣🤣🤣

You would be in your element there with that 2t I think a gokart would be cool. That thing has plenty a go in it to

Nice work, treat all props as "live".

It would be ideal for taking supplies to the boat at low tide. 😂🤣😂

A mud skimming sledge for when the tides out

Good Buy ROBBO. 😊😊 Stick some Floats on it so ya can pull rubbish skiff with it. 😮😅😂😊 oh and Roar up and down the Estary at Speed.😊 Carry on. Gemma just Jealous as she,s a Speed Freak as well. 😅😅 she would be roaring up and down the drive if she was there.😮😮😅 Bring memories back for Si re his Bike days.😅😅 Carry on.😊😊

Make a hovercraft hauler to get the stuff to and from your boat.

An airboat would make it easier to transport stuff to and from Sarinda. Later, you could add it to the aft of Sarinda as an emergency backup engine that could get you to safety in the event of engine problems with the main boat.

Hovercraft would be fun. Disappointed there wasnt even any donuts

I think an airboat is a great project. Put pontoons where the wheels are, and then have hydrofoils that you can lower below the pontoons. full send it and get up over the waves LOL

Airboat, sort of, just to skid over to Sarinda. Overall comment of the video: Boss is away, kids start to play 😀

One heck of a leaf blower!

You’ve bought an ultralight! Now you just need the glider wings….😂 #MenWithoutAdultSupervision

Definitely air boat time!

Build a ply flat bottom long boat to take rubbish from Sarinda with or without water or just wet mud .

Nice leaf blower lol

You should think about building a WIG; aka a mini Ekranoplane! :-)

An air boat was the first thing that came to mind.

definitely needs to go in that plastic kids boat in the yard 😂

Needs to go on the rubberboat I did see in the video. 😅

In the states we have pontoon boats, aluminum torpedoes with that power plant attached would be interesting

Put it on Sarinda and come cruise the Florida Everglades!!

Turn it into a hovercraft!

I'd feel more confident flying that with a wing that glides without power, than I ever will on a 737...at least you don't just plummet 😊

The wading pool was ROTFL!

Put it all together correctly, install aircraft floats and you will have a fantastic microlight! Don’t modify or change it as some other KZfaqrs have, enjoy it for what it really is. The result will be great!

It's basically supposed to have a hang glider on top of it, so it's basically a microlight hang gilder with a engine that you can sit in. They don't look that safe. Looks cool though.

If you don´t use it to build a airboat/swamp boat then I bet it would make a strong genie for your ship or at least a decent diy outboard engine. If you do build a airboat don´t forget the cage around the prop.

I can see Simon now wind blowing through his hair.......nope.😊

air boat !!! yess!! XD

they use them engines in a hovercraft - so build one of them!

Air boat would be easier but a hovercraft might prove more useful over marshland. There used to be a hovercraft service across the Dee estuary.

I bet the Local's thought that Mick Dundee was close bye, sending a call to his Mates. lol.

Mount it on your dingy. Then you won't be dropping outboard motors in the lagoon. Lmao 😂

your like a couple of naughty teenagers....awesome i love it

find a flat bottom boat, thick aluminum, and make an air boat. OR Buy a certified kit and build a ultralight

Contact some of the manufacturers in Florida and Louisiana. I feel sure they can point you in the right direction.

What fun.
