Very nice Slim!Do you think you'll have it together and running this year? Looks like alot of work rigginga boat like that, not to mention alot of cash.

Man, the club's boat-count is soaring this year.

Even Bulzeye is putting theGreen Bobber in dry dock and upgrading to aluminum. Will we ever see the return of thePlastic Armada?

Congrats on the boat Slim!!!
You can always push-pole it around the shallows until you get the rest rigged up. :D

I'm just borrowingthe metal one from the new owners for some upcoming shoots right now, but I'll be buying it as soon as I can.I'm certain 2-foot-itis will set in as soon as I sign on the dotted line.

I was thinking along those lines... Maybe I can upgrade from nothing to plastic!

Although nothing beats pink foam insulation tied to alawn chair.

Well that will sure cut down on the wader division...:D

So when you say cheap and top of the line, what are the differences for us inexperienced with airboats. Just motor and prop size? ...reduction drive???
