Hey Yall, MTV has done a couple of things with airboats in them.
I saw that episope of 'viva la bam' with the blue boat w/GPU that showed the guys "acting the fool" runnin through the campsite and the frog mess in the sleeping bag. The airboat footage was short and it didn't leave a good impression.
They also had a big 20+ passenger airboat someone mentioned at the VMA (video music awards) down here in Miami. I only saw the still photos of that one. The Beastie Boys (rappers) were dropped off on the airboat LIMO STYLE outside the entrance to the arena on the Biscayne Bay waterfront.
CSI Miami- 1st season (the airboat you see on the beginning) had a pretty good episode that involved a plane crash over the Everglades. They had some some airboat decent footage in that one. The guy whose boats were used had one of them listed for sale, someone came by to check it out and ended up stealing his old boat and his new one too.
Another episode of CSI Miami-Nothing to Lose, had a couple of airboats from Chuck at Airboat Pros. Nicely rigged fiberglass hulls with 383 stroker motors. The story was a little cheesy but the airboat footage was good.
