You probably don't have alligators that visit when you boat.

I see alligators now and then. There is a 3 footer living in my canal
right now and a 9 footer across the river (probably the mom) but I am
not afraid they will jump in the boat and get me. Shooting them is
pretty illegal anyway.


We're not always running in canals. If we get stuck - and it happens -
an alligator can walk onto the boat while we turn it around. We're
spinning a 6' propeller that doesn't have reverse.

No reverse...~~Snerk~~.
That sounds like my 1954 British Seagull 3 hp outboard.

That was an airboat? I'll bet you could do some fast swamp running with a 3 hp outboard, eh Don?

~~snerk~~

You turkey. You beat me to it.
You were looking at the Micro 9?

Euro Optic had it in stock and at the best price:

I bought the Blaser shotgun from them, too.
Check this out: https://www.gunbuyer.com/catalog/pro...-kim3300109-e/

Where'd you get your 'best price' info?

I paid $5 more. He gave me a deal on a two gun buy. I also paid $400
less on the Blaser F16.

I'm bookmarking that site for future use. Thanks!

Bookmark 'slickguns.com'. That's where I find the prices. They'll also let you know if the seller is
out of stock.

It helps to find the UPC of the gun to enter into the search bar.

You turned me on to them a while ago. They, like most search engines,
don't cover all online vendors but they do a very good job.

Thanks!

How low are the gunwales on your boat?
Less than 24".

Are you running an air boat?

What other boat would have a 6' diameter propeller ?

Before I thought twice, I thought you'd made a typo and meant 6". So maybe that's going around!

There are conventional boats with 6 ft props but they usually don't
need to worry about gators.

That would be close for Don's old motor.
