[QUOTE="Darkside, post: 230301, member: 6899"] I think I went into why I wrote what I did (page 2). You can take it out of context if you wish, but not sure what it accomplishes. To your point though, and something I need to remind myself is that although I jet about a dozen rivers annually here in he east (NY, NJ, PA, VA...) I don't see anything close to what you guys have out there. We don't have stretches 2" deep that you guys can run and not take your boats to the scrap pile afterward. It's not sand or gravel, it is chunk rock and ledges. Air boats here can't run these stretches, but it doesn't sound like we have the consistant level bottom you guys have. Our gravel shoals are short, maybe 200 yards and we can run those 2-3" areas well enough, even push enough bow water to jump gavel humps. I'd love to see one of these lightweight rigs out here. Tough to appreciate the speed and performance you're getting on a video. Sounds like I could learn a lot from them and the water you're running. [/QUOTE]
