Thanks Lew. I doubt I will ever get to Florida to see a swamp buggy but it is interesting to see these things.😉

Don't know (until now), never been on one. There was one going around the pond behind my back yard clearing some water hyacinths several years ago. Seen them in movies.

So I asked at gas station attendant and he said the airboat operator fills his tank up about every day, so I figured the airboat was local. Found the web site (and photo), and the answer to your question: 55 MPH. Also, those wide props are normal for airboats.

that's quite a prop on that swamp buggy. What sort of speed do these things do ?😉

Oops... sorry, I forgot to attach the photo! Now it should make sense.
