[QUOTE="JOHNSON44, post: 225372, member: 4194"] I also have an 18X60 Duracraft that I essentially gutted and rebuilt last winter. I have been using it for fishing this year and now have a blind on it for duck and goose season. Mine is also outboard (48 HP Johnson) with a 4 HP kicker and trolling motor. I have thought several times about an airboat conversion as my lakes and rivers are frequently very shallow. I saw one the other day that was essentially a bolt on kit that the owner said came from somewhere on Oklahoma but he had no history. It was a V8 but no manufacturers markings anywhere. I am curious if you ever found a conversion kit? I would think a VW engine would be good, lots of those around and they are air-cooled. [/QUOTE]
