The best part of this boat is the friends and family that get to enjoy it . The next best things are the many new friends we have made in this new adventure. We started this journey by researching a buying a very low hour used boat from one of the top manufactures in the business. GTO Airboats in Ocala Florida even though we bought the boat from a private owner the folks at GTO treated us like family. Norman Gene and Keith answered all of our questions and helped with anything we needed. Gene helped me up grade the boat with a new short rake and the 427 small block and new prop. The difference was night and day in performance. I cant say enough about the great service at GTO.

This is our boat running the lake behind the house. The rooster tail behind the boat is from the water brake. When you have a boat that runs 65+ mph it helps
to have something besides every body on the praying to make it stop.

Ride on orange lake skinny water for miles and miles. Beautiful country lots of great people . The hill is a small hump of land in orange lake where the Air boaters gather for a great cook out. Me sitting in Ronnie's race boat. Its all motor and not much hull very fast. Soon as I figure out how I will up load some video.
