it has been 6 years of adding and changing for tournament purposes now looking into an airboat

Ever thought about one of these http://www.flyfishinsalt.com/boats/boats/ranger-boats-banshee-extreme-43812.html or put a jack plate on your boat.

yea but not tough enough..... we beat and bang em on rocks stumps the bank all kinds of stuff to nice of a boat to beat it up....

 

[foodsaver]

just curious what the benefit is to the airboat? Why is it better then a regular prop boat?

 

[AThornton]

I would have to guess water disturbment and displacement may tend to spook them.....but I have no idea. Looks FUN!!

The difference is that airboats have to HP to chase the fish down the fan boat runs about 10 MPH with the fan going and when you get into a school of running buffalo or grass carp that are spooked its hard to get a shot off on a fish swimming away from you faster then you can go....

There is no disadvantage unless you are tournament bowfishing..... if you just want a boat to shoot casually and maybe some smaller shoots localy then a Fan boat is inexpensive and can get the job done... but when you go to tournaments all over the country and shoot with ALL airboats its hard to compete with them
