Title: Airboat for bid auction. For those thinking about an airboat
Post by: jeepdude64 on Jan 21, 2015, 08:46 AM

I found this online it is a government auction site.  It looks like good shape to me and the current bid is at 3k.

They are expensive to run, we have a couple of rescue boats up here, they run 7.4 engines, suck gas like crazy, noisy like a Saturn rocket.

i believe it.. they seem like too much of a pain for me.  Rather just charter when ice is questionable..
