We build custom airboats that work harder when it matters most

Duck blinds, bowfishing decks and gator season.

Built for guides and for people who hunt every weekend the season is open. Tell us where you run and what you carry, and the boat gets built for that.

Hunting and fishing boats built

1. 01

   Rigged for the hunt

   Grass rake, rod holders, rake lights and GPS all go on the build sheet. You pick what the boat leaves with.

   A bottom that takes abuse

   Polymer on the hull for grass, mud and shell. We check it again before delivery.

3. 03

   Sized to your water

   Hulls start at 16 ft. Bigger parties and heavier loads get a bigger hull.

More than 35 boats built for law enforcement.

   Inspected and water tested

   Service after the sale

   Fleet maintenance and repairs are handled here, by the people who built the boat.

For floods, swift water and the places a prop boat stops.

An airboat has nothing under the hull to foul, so it keeps moving over mud, grass and debris. That is why rescue crews run them when the water comes up.
