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.

Show me that law???


Shouldn't you be out breaking the arms of little kids, loogy?


He must have already reached his quota this quarter.


I thought you guys were talking to me, in my world its like yours, its
all about me...sorry if your not a troll, no offence intended



If you're loogy, we're talking about you. If you're not, thank Allah.

You ain't very good at this. At least take the time to find out that
a lot of new posters came here while you were gone.
By my count a total of 1.
That would be Happy.

Jim - Knows how to count.

Show me that law??? my mother in law is or was the former secretary of
the "save our lakes" down there, and they have spent millions trying to
get ride of the hydrilla from all the bill dance types out there packing
the **** from one lake to the other, when I was younger Lake Walk in the
Water had none, you could see thhe bottom, now you can walk across that
****, they spry paths accross the lake so you can run your boat...1000
for florida hydrilla...BS...somethings not right here


What's wrong is you think sea grass is hydrilla.

Jim - Fresh water ain't salt water. Different fish and different plants.

Although the real Looney isn't man enough to apologize when he's wrong.
