Seen a couple on the river here and there. My first impression is not good, very loud and sad looking performance! I could here them before I could see them and that's while I was driving in my boat. But I guess they would have there place like over muskeg and marsh land. If running skinny rivers I still think a jet boat would be just as good

I don't know why he call's it an Air boat. Its a "FAN"boat. There is a company here in Vernon that builds them, we see them on the lake regularly. I talked to him once and the majority of his clients are in the US. He builds and sell's to US dealer's. My understanding there is a long wait to get one.

Outlaw makes the "boat" style, I think im leaning towards the swamp style.

I sold mine after about 3 years.
Much prefer to sled, dirt bike, or jetboat as the conditions require it.
Maybe if i lived in the Florida everglades, but not in BC.

Where in BC? To me it looks like another way to get to places no one else can.

We had 3. Will go lots of places. Canadian Airboats is where we purchased ours.

Look around the south like Florida and Louisiana they use them like we use our quad's and sled

Fly across ice and thin ice, grass, etc. Was quite fun.

It was fun for a while, the novelty soon wore off.
We are in the north shuswap.
But used it in other places as well.
Not very positive steering and limited to very small percentage grades etc.
Don't try a river bank or running at high speed up a twisty river etc.

friend Roger had a hovercraft for a year, similar steering. He wouldn't even go between bridge pillars....
