New Boats
« on: August 31, 2010, 08:58:13 pm »
 Here's some serious horsepower toys my company just built for a job down near Grand Isles, La. I spent the day cruising in the rain on one of our other airboats down there. I almost feel like a coon ass. ;D

  Pat, Yea. Thats four big Ford engines on each boat with twin, variable pitch props on each ones. What was fun is I got to drive the other Service Airboat these guy's up here built. The Safety officer made them hire a local driver. I'm the only one in ten thousand employees qualified, that is allowed to drive their boat. ;D

 Shannon, That question is gonna have to be answered by someone from LA, don't wanna PO anybody ;)
