Re: Prop shaft sheared
Indeed its in the everglades, a beautiful area if you can get in. Airboat has a huge advantage but I don't like the idea of plowing your own trac wherever you want to go. Sounds like ultimate freedom but if we all did it, I guess we wouldn't have much nature left. So many insect eggs, snakes, turtles bunnies, gators etc. etc, I guess you get the picture. No doubt the airboats are fun and you can really go anywhere. I went on a guided hunt a few weeks back, the guide dropped the boat up in the parking lot, I thought he was out of his mind. He told us to hop in, he fired up the motor and off we went accross the gravel and all. He avoided the ramp and decided to drop straight into the deep sawgrass and pond which looked like it had never had an intruder, it really sucked. Plowing a track across turtle grass is not so good either so I guess we all need to be smart where we go.
Gators, indeed. I am a California boy and now living in Florida 15 years and I am still impressed each time I see one of these dinasaures. We were poling over some shallows the other day and I was going to push off the log to avoid getting stuck but it was no log at all, they can sure move fast when needed.
