Our area got another 2 inches overnight so now we have 10 inches of snow. The weather man says it isn't supposed to warm up anytime soon. I don't think I'll get to run my boat on water soon.
P.S. Keep telling me how fast your airboat can go!

Where I live, this is like a blizzard to us. We normally get about 3 inches of snow. Most of my friends were freaking out, but I like it.
I had some trouble with the engine on the boat. It wouldn't start. I took it apart and figured out that one of the rods coming from the timing mechanism came out of the rocker for the valve. I fixed that. Hopefully it runs again. I'm going to my friend's house to try it out.

dreamin hemi, you guys got nailed along with us, its over my knees walking through the yard and over 3 feet where the wind piled it up and from the snow blower, but it's not good snow for my boat at least, when I turn its biting in to much and doesn't want to turn, I'll have to wait till it gets a crust on it...plenty fast in a straight line but I came in before GPS-ing it cause I had to keep going to get it and turn it around...

You should wax the bottom of the boat. The wax reduced friction between the boat and the snow. That should let you turn on the snow without a problem.

Didn't get to run the airboat. It was way to windy outside. It blew the boat around when we tried to start it.
Keep on telling me how fast your boats go!
