I have seen some airboaters do some absolutely ridiculous things in

Yeah, and for the most part, it looks like a reversing propeller isn't
an option, either.



That would be a scene out of Wiley Coyote. All thrown off the front of
the
boat, and the boat takes off backwards with no pilot. Only props I ever
saw
were pushers.

There's real potential for that...

Sorry. Should have been clearer and said that the only types of propellers
I have seen on airboats were pushers. Of course, there are reversible props
for aircraft, or even airboats. I just never saw them.
