ABSTRACT:
An air boat has a power unit including a typical automotive engine and a pylon mounted on the engine clutch housing and carrying an aircraft type propeller at its upper end. Belts or a chain housed within the pylon drivingly connect the motor and propeller. The motor and pylon are preferably mounted on a base which is removably mounted on the air boat hull. Preferably, the base also carries a cooling system radiator, fuel tank, and typical engine accessories so that the entire power unit may be installed in and removed from the air boat as an integral unit, thus facilitating servicing of the power unit at a convenient location out of the boat hull with the power unit fully assembled and ready to run when it is returned to the air boat.
