Awesome video! Grew up on the Withalacoochee river, sure miss it all.

They're frikken awesome, need some up here, but for ice and cold on snow, can't believe I'm jealous of folks going nowhere that fast, fun!

Very very cool . Why did I not know ?... This must be Florida . :)

Bad ass boats!

I remember fondly as a young lad of around 9-10 yrs old going on an airboat ride in the Florida Everglades with my Mom - maybe 1958 or so. We both loved it even though it was very loud! I got a kick out of how fast it accelerated once it went from pure water onto wet reeds. Great fun!

Great video

Man, I would purely love to go cruising around on an airboat. Probably not one like these beasts, but something I could out in and explore. I saw one once on a tv show when I was wee lad and thought they were the coolest machines known to mankind.

It’s nuts how most go no helmets or shoes of some kind. Get it!!

Well done 👍🏼

This is wild. I love America just put a v8 in it. Hell yeah brother. Pure freedoms I love it

Such machines of beauty. We got nothing like this in Canada. Well we do have jet boats so we got something.

On the 80s hover crafts were supposed to be the big thing . But people realized it's cheaper and easier to do this instead.if you can go though bogs and mud with it Should be no problem going across frozen ice and snow .

They sound SO good..:)

I really needed that. Thank you back

Are the tracks stocked with mud bugs? Racing, eating, drinking. That's how our country grows.

Alot of chevys .. some Cessna engines too lol

We're Americans! We'll drag race anything with an engine!

Look like they can handle a full 2 inches of wave chop.

Back in the late 90s I have my boat built by stumpjumper up in Lake Panasoffkee. He also had a drag boat that was bad ass. Does anyone remember that boat? Thanks.

When you live near a swamp and have nothing better to do

Unfortunately don't have lakes like that where I am, but man I would be into it.

I didn't see the Bud Light boat?

That was fun. Gonna go watch some more. Do those things have a reverse?

Dam yall getting up there in subscribers. I’m on my way lol

Was this this weekend? Damn I missed it!

Only boats with header extensions was hi-horsepower... Others are leaving h.p. on the table .

Wow ! 😂😂😂

What are those motors, flat 6?

Question for someone with knowledge of these. When they let off, there is a stream of water that shoots up behind the boat. Is this a brake of some sort?

The big lever is connected to the 2 rear 'air rudders' to direct the air flow to steer. Some guys use a hand throttle while others use a conventional gas pedal mounted to the deck. There are no brakes btw............😊

@filster1934

With the stick positioned on the right, pulling back you steer to the right, pushing forward, the boat steers left. These are race boats, so, as Todd mentioned, throttle can be foot or stick mounted. Most non-race boats have foot throttle, because the captain might be doing other activities, such as gigging for frogs. Some old timers actually had foot steering. I tried it, but, didn't care for the control.

Aircraft engines.

4:43 They also drift ?!?!

Why are the props on these so different to aircraft props? Most planes have 2 or 3 bladed props, these boats have many more - is it because of the relatively low speeds?

@Airboat_Madness

3-4x the power of a plane

Wouldn't it be better not to wear a seat belt? That way, if your boat flipped upside down you wouldn't be trapped.

Air boat has to be the most inefficient way to move a boat. 1500hp with a propeller in the water, will get you almost twice the speed!.

If y’all gonna put those big ass motors in dem airboats, y’all might wanna tink about puttin a wing on the front end of y’all boats to keep it down.
