the thickness of the aluminum that is used in a F&F boat ?? I have called them a couple of times but I guess they are real busy as I havent been able to get anyone to answer. Just thought maybe Torch might know or anyone else.I have checked the website but cant find anything other than in the testimonials that some one mentions that the airboats the build are 3/16
thanks

May be wrong but I think when I called a few years ago they said 1/8... Torch will know if I'm wrong for sure

Probably 100. 125 is 1/8th. It depends on who ordered the boat. It's an upgrade charge for the 125 gauge. Take a micrometer and measure it.

Pretty sure it's 100, but like Beel said, 125 is an upgrade available.

Whatcha got on yo mind? You thinkin bout mountin sumptin new or jus curious?
I want to be able to see the depth while running, I have tried to get a regular transducer to shoot thru the hull but no luck, I got one of the transducer mounts that sticks out further Speed-Reeder JR-3 - Johnny Ray Llc Mounts and Accessories @ MarineEngine.com and I can not get it in the right position to get a reading with it, my next option would be a shoot thru hull transducer and I see where they will work on aluminum up to .12 thick. it aint sumpin I gotta have but would be nice.Quote:

Once you get on plane, readin depth is not that critical simply because by the time you see it's only a foot deep, you prolly should have one britches leg rolled up and werkin on the other one cause you fixin to hafta get out and push or wade around and look fer ya lower unit. But don't worry, your lower unit should bubble long enuff fer ya to find it.
While what Minner says is true, your ducer should be giving you a depth at WOT
Larry when you get a chance post a couple of pics of your current setup
WowMinner, that is a statement that makes complete sense :biggrin now where or who did you copy it from ?? j/k but very true for sure, if you see you done in 1 foot of water, well you are still in something deep tho, ifn u know what I mean :)Quote:
