“The Boat” boggles my mind. It is beyond scary to me and then I wonder Why would anyone put an engine on a boat like that .. then I thought some more and decided I had closed my eyes instead of looking with new.
thank you John.
This type of air boat is fairly common in some places, like tidal water marshes in the South. Anywhere that the water is calm and wide enough will do. The cage which normally surrounds the propeller is piled on the front of the boat, a flat-bottomed design sometimes called a jon-boat.
The exhaust on this one just shoots straight out the stern, however, which must have made it excruciatingly loud! That may also be the usual practice, I don’t know.

View 3,000 Photos Back to 12-15-2001!
• FotoFeed features almost 3,000 images, and you can view almost ALL of them sequentially, backwards or forwards . The current WordPress site goes back to June 14, 2009. On that page is a link to the last page of the preceding site, which goes all the way back to December 15, 2001.
• To see all photos starting from the present, just hit the "Previous Entries" or "Previous Post" links and work your way back.
• Unfortunately, you can't go forward from the oldest page (12-1-2001). But you can go from forward starting from January 5, 2006. From the preceding page, however, you can only go backwards to the beginning. Confusing, I know.
• The Photos by Category, Archives, and Search FotoFeed menus [right] only apply to the current site, going back to June 14, 2009, but you can find all kinds of interesting things.
• You can also use the Sitemap pages to search for photos at the current site by category and titles in a list format. Try it!
