These damned things tear up oyster beds, and slightly under water grass
beds where fish breed and eat. Damned things ought to be banned. Their
owners ought to be tossed with bleeding cuts into a nest of alligators.

Yep, as well as gas hog Parkers


There are huge differences in noise level from one air boat to another
mostly depending on how the prop is made. 2 bladed props are noisiest
and the more blades, the less noise generally. The 6 blade ones I
have seen are far quiter than the old 2 bladed ones. Note that the
noise produced by the unmuffled exhaust is much less than the prop
noise.
