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??? 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
