This month's Airboating Magazine features a one page article on airboating on Winnipesaukee written by Sunset Bob and myself. There are a few pictures from one of our adventures on the ice as well as a link to winnipesaukee.com. Unfortunately their webpage does not feature any of their articles, so if anyone would like to see a copy I can scan and email it. If there is a way to post it to the site any help would be appreciated.

Great write up, too bad you sold it, we could have bum'd a ride to the island before the ice is frozen.

OK,I have to ask.If the speed limit passes will you be able to go 70+ mph on Winni with ice and/or water conditions of winter?What do you think?

Reading HB847, the speed limit applies to vessels operating on the water. So, it would seem that it would apply to airboats which are a vessel, but not to snowmobiles since they are not a vessel. A vessel is something which displaces water, or holds water like a coffee cup. So's anyone driving a coffee cup, has to keep that speed down.....no speed'n coffee-cups.....aaaooooghhaaa!

Say, was there any mention about my neighbor running out to chew The Codeman out for breaking up the ice in her's husband's personal little ice skating rink? "(in an Adam Sandler voice) He worked very hard to build this, and make it nice for the grand-kids, and you come along and broke up all his ice and hard work.....you big bozo!" Sorry about that.....I had no clue.....I was totally surprised by that scenario, but now I know not to wave to passing ice boats. Bet that doesn't happen too much to you.
