Good deal. I think we have confirmed between 45-50 folks with 20-25 boats.

Just fyi, the poker run, if you want to play, is $20 per hand, with an option to buy an extra card at the end. The raffle tickets are $20 each or 6 for $100.

You don't have to come and spend any money to participate, just letting you know what to expect $$ wise.

Bring your favorite Gnat spray as they are bothersome when standing around. SwampGator will keep them away for a few minutes.

Mini's huh. I'm going to Tampa Sunday to pick this one up. Not mini in size(16') just HP(35).

Cool!! I saw that on on Southern Airboat for sale. Paul makes an awesome boat, but you already knew that :). One mini is a Alumitech, the other one was built by Chuck at Airboat Pros. It's a shame you won't have this on Saturday. Oh, and I will be participating in the Poker run and buying a few raffles tickets.

I could have went and picked it up today, but since I've never driven an airboat, thought I might should get my feet wet on a stumpless, shallow lake. So I'll probably be out at Jackson on Monday after work.

Looking forward to seeing the mini's. The Airboat Pro has a Briggs, right? How about the Alumitech?

I talked to a guy in the Feeling Froggy airboat at Iamonia one day last year. Think he might have been in his 60's.

He was admiring our Mud Motors and we were admiring his Mini.
