Bob, thanks for posting that video. It's clear that Florida has the best Airboating in the country! :wink:

X/2 werk on a boat 20 hrs fukitup in 2 then go bak werk on 20 fuk up in / 2 gee someone please xplain the sanity of that, personally i think all terain buggys would handle those conditions with minimal repair , but to each his own and i for damn sure will not critise, that being said if u want to cruise and slide at 30-40 mph then u need shallow slick water as in airboat water , a 4x4 pikup would manage that course with less damage.Bruce said:

x3 If I got drunk enough to do that to my boat I sure would not want anyone to film it, too much trouble replacing poly.When the Brazos is running it is a beautiful river to run. To each their own.

Candy asses! 
That was 200 miles into a 400+ mile 4 day run to the coast.
To each there own but my Air Ranger is still going strong on the 1/2" poly installed after that video and yes I'll do it again.
Beauty queen boats need not apply.

I agree with u , its all about what u like to do i dont condem yall for what yall enjoy doing, however i would not recomend taking a good running airboat that performs well in a airboat environment and run it through that bottom gashing destructing crap and turn around and expect it to perform worth a crap in a airboat environment, i picked up on earlier that speed means nothing to yall and i can see why, ive fixed many bottoms on aluminum boats and i can safely sAy that most folks start paying more attention after the rebuild and avoid as much damage as they possibly canBrotherbob said:Candy asses!

To the Florida responders, it is true you do have some of the most beautiful waters for airboating in the country, nobody will argue with that but being that we Texas boys are 1000+ miles away from those waters we have to make the best of what we have. We do not take our boats up and down the Brazos river to see if we can tear them up...we do it for the adventure, and what an adventure it is. Yes our boats are built big and deep, but that is because we have to run deep and usually swift water here in the great Lone Star state.
I have personally taken my boat to the glades, lake Kissimmee, and big cypress in the past few years and I agree there is no need for a boat my size down your way, but here in Texas we do not have the luxury of much skinny water. My boat is a 15x8 saltwater series GTO and mine is considered the baby down our way.
BrotherBob, keeping whipping the rivers ass, my philosophy is like yours... you only live once, and it's not always about the destination but the journey getting there.
We'll see all the gang again at the BRAB memorial day run

BB I think that it is neat that you all made that run again That the old-timers made , Just doing what they said could not be done is the true airboat spirt.

Hey hey hey! I just said I wasn't scared to run it. I love the brazos and all its gravel and sand having beauty. But say it dont have any rocks that will ruin a hull and ill call you a liar and show you my transom. I want folks to know what its like. Most of yall have WAY more invested in your boats than I do.

For You To Help Talk Me into One of THOSE Flashey Rides

A ride boat and a Tank sounds like a good IDEA ( BB ) never
Know when we all might need a extra one LiltimeTx told her he would
Teach her how to drive a airboat in Marlin a couple of years ago.
Just a thought what are friends for.?
Those Dyna Marine boats are really slick and have great design elements, can't wait to see one on the Brazos.

The Brazos Memorial Day Run is the best, not to mention some of the friendliest folks you will ever meet, this I can promise you, if you do run into any kind of trouble there are dozens of great mechanics and builders on the ride, nobody will ever be left behind.
