That’s got to one of the nicest ways to work on an engine. It’s on a stand already.

I remember fondly as a young lad of around 9-10 yrs old going on an airboat ride in the Florida Everglades with my Mom - maybe 1958 or so. We both loved it even though it was very loud! I got a kick out of how fast it accelerated once it went from pure water onto wet reeds. Great fun!

I wanna give credit to the camera man/woman. Great footage and quality! Love the videos.

On the 80s hover crafts were supposed to be the big thing . But people realized it's cheaper and easier to do this instead.if you can go though bogs and mud with it Should be no problem going across frozen ice and snow .

Back in the late 90s I have my boat built by stumpjumper up in Lake Panasoffkee. He also had a drag boat that was bad ass. Does anyone remember that boat? Thanks.

Are the tracks stocked with mud bugs? Racing, eating, drinking. That's how our country grows.

We don't have these Downunder, could someone please explain the hand controls for me? Cheers 🍻. Those drivers sittin up high must feel super exposed. All the HP behind ya head. Epic.

@ToddsHouseofSpeed-uq5sp 3 ай бұрын

The big lever is connected to the 2 rear 'air rudders' to direct the air flow to steer. Some guys use a hand throttle while others use a conventional gas pedal mounted to the deck. There are no brakes btw............😊

@filster1934 3 ай бұрын

With the stick positioned on the right, pulling back you steer to the right, pushing forward, the boat steers left. These are race boats, so, as Todd mentioned, throttle can be foot or stick mounted. Most non-race boats have foot throttle, because the captain might be doing other activities, such as gigging for frogs. Some old timers actually had foot steering. I tried it, but, didn't care for the control.

They are in use in NT. Used for buffalo herding and hunting. Not for shooting crocodiles. Nope. Never happened

Question for someone with knowledge of these. When they let off, there is a stream of water that shoots up behind the boat. Is this a brake of some sort?

Brake!

If y’all gonna put those big ass motors in dem airboats, y’all might wanna tink about puttin a wing on the front end of y’all boats to keep it down.

@johnmurray7682 3 ай бұрын

Why are the props on these so different to aircraft props? Most planes have 2 or 3 bladed props, these boats have many more - is it because of the relatively low speeds?

@christopherslane7830 3 ай бұрын

Why the vertical spray of water at or near end of run? Break?

@theairstig9164 3 ай бұрын

The engine slows and makes a vacuum behind the transom. The spray is not longer directed down

Wouldn't it be better not to wear a seat belt? That way, if your boat flipped upside down you wouldn't be trapped.

Air boat has to be the most inefficient way to move a boat. 1500hp with a propeller in the water, will get you almost twice the speed!.

Your comment is a dead giveaway, that you've never riden on a blow boat. These boats will make slobber run into your ear in less than a hundred feet, from a dead stop!

Airboat can run in 1/4 inch of water
