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.



Gives hope to the alligators, too.

Not much. They aren't that fast.

Are you running an air boat?

That is what it sounds like.

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!

That would be close for Don's old motor.

My old motor has an odd looking 5 blade fan type propeller..maybe 10" in diameter.

Propped for power, not for speed. Most of the old Seagulls were like
that.

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

Sure, but they all have reverse!
