Oh, no.  Now we're even exporting them!  On another occasion, I had 
coordinated a paddling group to Lake Kissimmee State Park.  Seems as if 
airboaters are night folk (easier to view frogs and gator eyes at night) and 
those #$%#%$ things roared around most of the night.  So much for communing 
with nature

BTW, I recently saw someone trailering something that looked just like a 
jetski-type airboat.  It was smaller and much more elegant looking than the 
regular ones, but it had a big "fan" propeller up aft.
