That's how the Sensenich brothers of propeller fame got started in the
business, after the cops wouldn't let them run their prop-powered farm
wagon on county roads in Pennsylvania:

They may have been deranged, but it got them into a productive career.
Oh there have been lots of airboats and iceboats, but this one is a bit
scary looking to say the least. There was a realy nice looking one on Ebay
from the same period a year or two ago. Very streamlined looking thing and
reasonably well thought out too. This looks like it has umpty ump problems
in actual use. I can't even tell how it's supposed to be operated, exactly.
Presumably it's able to be manuevered n "pitch" but why? It might make a
good tailwheel trainer for the brave.
