I am from South East Texas and a newb to the whole airboat scene. Actually I hated airboats until about 6 months ago. The TPWD officers would pull up in our decoys at the most inopertune time with their loud airboats and it would tick us off. Then I started to realize how shallow they could get that thing up on plane as we would be pushing our boat through the mud and the muck to get in deeper water. So now Ive done a complete 180 and starting to build my own. I took the lake buggy plans and have some modifications in mind. I'll be posting in the build forum so yall can give me some pointers because I know I need them! Thanks in advance!
