UPDATE: Due to rapidly increasing material and labor costs, we are not currently producing the Bandit 44 airdrive kit. We will reevaluate if market conditions change.
The Bandit 54 is our biggest, baddest airdrive, featuring a Briggs 37 hp EFI engine turning a 54" propeller for maximum thrust. Perfect for mid-sized jon boats in the 1448-1648 range. It's designed to push 2 people plus ample gear or 3 people with light gear. Cruise through shallow water with submerged debris and vegetation with no moving parts in the water! We're now building simple pusher fan packages that are ready to bolt onto any small jon boat. Cruise through shallow water with submerged debris and vegetation with no moving parts in the water! The original model is the Bandit 44, which is perfect for 1436, 1440, and similar jon boats.

Shipping:
The Bandit 44 airdrive has to ship by LTL freight. Crate plus freight is typically between $300-$350 depending on your location. If you can have the airdrive shipped to a business address or freight terminal, this will reduce the shipping cost (Residential delivery with a lift gate adds cost). Also, if you are within driving distance of Katy, Texas, feel free to pick up your airdrive in person.
Standard airdrive packages include:
Engine, engine mount, propeller guard, jon boat adapter brackets, shock absorbing mounts, belt reduction drive, 4 blade propeller, rudder, airboat-style control joystick, throttle lever, steering cable, throttle cable, digital tachometer, lanyard kill switch and wiring harness. Just add a fuel tank and starter battery!
