I captain Airboats for my neighbor and friend, have for over the past 5 years and run over 1000 trips with up to 11 passengers. The boats we run have 450+ horsepower and with a full load of 12 people run in the low to mid 40's over wet weeds.
One of the old smaller boats (8 passenger)
We now have 2 of these 12 passenger boats
