river starts above highway 43 and goes north. the WMA is on the west side of the river right above highway 43.

I didn't get to ride, but it did stop in my drive way for a while.
This boat is unreal. I can't wait to ride on it, it is some kind of bad.

when i rode, chevy told me it will run approx. 80 mph in 3" of water and the fan is the only source of movement unless i guess you could put a trolling motor but that defeats the purpose of having an air boat....

Duckhunter is dead on. Given the right conditions with the right weight load, water depth, etc the manufacturer (Stan Floyd http://www.americanairboats.com) told us it could hit 80+ mph. Way way too fast for me! Its a rush to say the least! The big motor is all you need to troll around, the boat can be completely operated from the front deck from cranking/shutting down to steering and throttle.

how does it handle in the standing timber? I bet it is a blast in open areas though.... can't wait to stick a fish from that deck....
