AIR BOAT
« on: Feb 14, 2009, 11:37 AM »
    I just though how nice it would be to have one of those air boats I saw in that Lake Erie rescue.  You could ice fish no matter how bad the ice got. 
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

If you lived in my area, I would fully understand using tax dollars to go ice fishing. Tell the cheif that if you go ice fishing you will be able to fight fires better because you wont be thinking about ice fishing while fighting fires.

   My boat would have to have good mufflers so I could sneak up on the gills.

      That's a sweet ride A-bomb,   and I though $400 buck for a new vex was a lot. Maybe I can retro fit my LUND with a fan.

I'm in Fla. for 3 more weeks.  There is a festival east of me and the bass club in the town raffles one those air boats off every year.  Tickets are $5.00 each.  Retail value is $28,000.00.  By the way that includes the trailer.
