Went canoeing at Wacissa River again today. Over the past few
yrs, I
have noticed some odd motors obviously intended for very shallow
weed
infested waters. These motors resemble a lawnmotor engine with a
very
long shaft, maybe 6' on which there is a prop at the very end.
They
go very well in the mats of vegetation covering the water whereas
a
conventional outboard immediately bogs down and gets stuff in the
water intake.
I am wondering if these odd outboards will mean fewer airboats
because
both are intended to be used in nearly zero water.
Just bear in Mind Florida has a new law about destroying sea
grass,
The fine is a fairly modest $1000 but they can also take you into
civil court for the price of restoring the damage to the grass and
that can be a huge number.
Yep your right and I was ignorantly blowing my mouth about
something I knew
nothing about, sorry ole man, I guess I don't know my hydrilla from
sea
oats,
Please except my apology
best regards,
Happy
Well that qualifies you for loogytown
Although the real Looney isn't man enough to apologize when he's wrong.
Maybe there aren't enough hours in the day.
