Does anyone have a small air boat??

Good idea, sell bolt in kits for the blaster's 250EX's, small quads like that. I belive a blaster, piped, 240 kit, reeds etc, makes about 40 hp..give or take.

What size weights you have to run to spin this??

I was thinking eliminate the tranny(most are connected to the motor anyway) and run a cvt system like a sled-simple secondary/ jackshaft arrangement to chain driven axle. Its been done before but with bigger motors-with this single I think it could end up lighter and with more power.

clutch calibration has yet to be figured out which is why we are searching for a cheap application to try it out!

Man, this just might be the application to play with...who's got a blaster with a tatered motor I could buy??!!

Good luck with it, friend built a sandrail with a 540 yamaha motor in it, was suppose to be 5hp B&Sand been tuning on it for years trying to get that exact setup to work. Obviously you are better at building these things than I am, haha....... so hopefully yours works better than ours.


Interested to see this follow through, maybe see some stuff to help build ours....

that motor would be awesome in one of these!

[FASTRAX]

I agree! pretty sure there wouldn't be enough room though-especially for the pipe!
Now if we were to build a tube chassis for it, maybe stretch it out a bit more and create some room...

Wow, that is a heck of an approach angle. What about using that motor in hot saw competions?

Hmmmmm, anyone know the specifics of those comps? motor rules and regs?

Hotsaw!!!

Many guys are allready doing this to the sled motors infact there is one guy that I have been in contact with that now has boost!!!
