So, in a gallant effort to promote airboating in my "circle" I started with Lady Jane. Bought her the RC model Aquacraft Alligator Tours for Christmas!
I charged the battery and put a label on the charger "Jane's airboat".
Her response "I shall keep it NIB, thanks.mumble mumble..."

To this day I have not driven an airboat...of any description.

Your time is coming, it will be well worth the wait. I'd be out there every day if I could. Heck... if my wife would put up with it I'd live on my island during warmer weather.
