There was a website that talked all about the airslot, but it appears to be gone. Any other websites that might have info on the airslot? Any airslot owners here? How do they ride? How stable at a drift?

thanks

If it were mine, 225 would be the LEAST hp I'd put on it...250 would be better...it's a heavy hull...I think back to friend's 21' Rabalo w/a 200 Black Max...underpowered at that, so like said, 225 least...be sure to get a 25 or even 30 inch shaft motor as a 20 inch tends to bury in the wake when powering down a bracketed boat...
Good luck w/your project...take some pics as you go for posting here...
