[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 224605, member: 6937"] Very true. All it takes is one miscalculation, or something fouling the intake (such as a rock, a clump of grass, or even a whelk shell, like I had one time) and causing you to slow down and gain draft, then run aground. On a side note, I had an idea for a design. What about a johnboat with a snowmobile track mounted in a tunnel? We've all seen snowmobiles run on water, but when they slow down, they don't float too good...LOL But what if we could incorporate that kind of drive system into the bottom of a boat? I've thought about it, but then I also thought about what happens when you cross a shoal, and pick a rock or other object up in the belt drive....probably would be the end of that idea. [/QUOTE]
