Another New Kline Design, among many boat builds this a new design that has been under development for some time. Meet the MKline 'Stealth Eagle 12' approximately named because of it's lighter weight' and it's agile abilities to run around easily this boat is 12 long' x 7'6" wide with 19.5 " sides it's built with a 6 cylinder Aircraft engine in mind and will be extremely stable, plane off easy and yet remain very agile and be an easy runner on the hill or marsh it's designed to be more lightweight than Our Traditional Deck over boats but still offer the no flex or twist ruggedness along with the security and walk around decks of a deck over boat while saving weight by eliminating structure and decking materials that goes into a deck over all while having easy access to a large opening for cargo, coolers, wildgame ecetra. This 12' x 7'6" boat weights in at 331 lbs while retaining it's strength but it could be even more lightweight upon special request. And Unlike traditional deck over boats This new unique design of the rear deck with splash wall is built in 2 sections making it easier to repair in case of any damage from Propeller debris also this design would Not need any deck removal when adding or replacing Polymer. This boat can be built in various sizes from 11' to 12' long x 7' wide would be a great size for 4 cyl Aircraft engines while a 13' to 15' long x 7'6" or 8' wide would be suitable for higher Hp engines or V8 engines. Note Copycats Beware this is a protected Kline Design. As always everyone please stay safe and enjoy Sliding around God's Country

Installing Polymer correctly is a critical part of manufacturing an Airboat to ensure performance and longevity. We begin by using the best blend of UHMW GXP next it must be stretched using even heat the sun works best note pictures show measurements of stretch length is almost a full inch beyond it's cool measurement and width stretch is 5/8 beyond when it cools back down the polymer is extremely tight fitting to the hull this insures a true a flat running surface that will last many years. Our polymer is also always riveted on this process is a lot of work but anything worth while is never easy. Have a great day Enjoy your Airboating Fellow Airboaters

Airboating has changed over the years so we've changed with it. The Future is here and Yes the rumors of a completely new design Airboat hull are true. Featuring
*Adaptable to excepting metal works from 36" stringers glass boats and even from other welded hulls with 40" or 42" stringers.

This hull in the photo is a positive flotation hull it weighs 388lbs it's 12' x 7'7" wide at it's widest point with 19" sides designed for Aircraft engine's but the same hull in 14' would be incredible combination for the gear nose and or geared LS engine's. Note to my fellow Good Ole Boys I will be looking for good working relationships and considering certain metalwork manufacturers and or those looking to deal our hulls and complete turn key them as we mainly specialize in custom hulls and accessories from propellers to aircraft or automotive engine's, gearboxes ecetra.
I know everyone has lots of ?'s so feel free to contact Mitch Kline and I will be happy to answer them please keep in mind that I'm normally a very busy person please be patient with me. Thank you and God Bless
