We have two airboats, both powered by small block chevys built by a company in, where else, Florida. We use them on the Lower Salt River where everyone goes tubing. The river ranges in depth from 20' to 6" and there are lots of areas that can only be accessed by water. The air boats are mostly used for dive missions, either rescue or recovery. Very fun to drive.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters. Â Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.

Kinda figured that's where it was from the pic. Yeah Florida is the Airboat capital, I've watched them run thru the swamps and it sure looks like fun!.. Be cool to have one with a big block in it!..
Airboats!

So that's what they do, always wondered how they could do that, cool!..

If you gotta have a job that's the kind to have One you like  Looks cool. I don't have to worry about you in parker do I? |
I love my job. Â I took a $70,000 pay cut years ago when I started and have never regretted my decision. Â Lake Patrol, where I work, is the Holy Grail of assignments and you can see why. Â No worries about me in Parker though, its out of county and I have enough to deal with here. |
i see the guys out of la paz county, and they all seem to enjoy the work. they also train off of that 28' fire boat, thats not bad duty. this years storms have to be tough duty
