- Quad engine airboat. Four 600 hp flagship engines. Built by our good friend Mark Robicheaux of Mark's Airboats in Franklin, LA. Hull is 45' x 16'. This was the initial test run. The winch wasn't installed at the time, so we didn't get to see what it can go through. Quite a piece of equipment. www.marksairboats.com/

I've run a tug boat for 25 years and living here in Mississippi I've run a few airboats. I've seen these in south Louisiana . Always wanted to run of these. A boat the size of a small barge moving like that would be badass!!
Very powerful aerobot! Super!
Just amazing 👍🏽
*Super airboats!*
Dats a good sturdy boat mesha
Good ones! We can use it to move in Mekong river delta
Wow! Has so much deck area you can land a helicopter on it!
The engines are stacked simply because of limited deck space. These airboats have to be trucked to job sites, so the practical width a boat like this can be is limited. The boat in this video is over 15 ft wide. With a crane installed they are around 30,000 lbs, more than two engines are needed for power. A flat bottom distributes the boats weight across a large area, reducing impact in work areas.
this is great only boat that can get a crane that big in without uprooting plants and blowing banks away with the wake. good for when multiple trips to a job site are needed.
Here in South Florida we have twin engine airboats(Cadillac powered) for tour groups but nothing like this beast! I often wondered how they work on oil rigs in the Louisiana swamps, now I know!
It very easy to change there or door located at the top the cage incase that happens
That is an air barge
Ual que legal irmão
Love love love🙏❤️❤️
Wonder what the load limit is?
Yeah...wow
i like it vere mutch
The closest thing I can think of in the aircraft world is the Cessna-337 Skymaster (Mixmaster) It's a twin-engine tandem prop twin tail. One tractor engine & one pusher engine. But, since they're mounted 180 degrees to each other, the props counter-rotate, increasing the overall prop slipstream efficiency. I'd imagine if those forward engines were turned around, this machine would put out a few more pounds of thrust. Better yet, turn the aft around and get the props close for best results!
does it come in swamp camo
Gallons per mile😂
holy shit!
👍👍👍
how many gallons to the mile
Has someone ever made a house boat using a air boat?
From an engineering standpoint as entertainment this is cool. But from a practical view and a serious engineering eye, did you look into hydrostatic pedestal drives running counter rotating props? Still would need a couple of 8Ltr JD turbo diesels, but the kickback is hydraulic capabilities plumbed throughout the boat.
No. Just no.
The weight saveing would have been huge by using 1 hemi instead of 4 fords.
Soyou want a big air boat? yea! like 15'? no no no.. oh solike as big as my house? Yes yes.. big i said. lol
beast
FUCK there is nothin to hold onto
i bet it uses a gallon of fuel a minute
More id bet
Just say this boat on i10 going west 5-14/23
each engine has its own prop and they are not connected and why would u attch pontoons to a air boat
Man you can stick a lot of refugee's on that boat
im baffled by this aswell?? if you had pontoons it would be harder to and put a shitton of stress on the pontoons when jumping from water onto a mudflat.... i have never even heard of putting pontoons on an airboat?
Get back to me when it can run dry ground.
It's a "boat". I believe you're looking for a "car" or "truck"
Some of the light ones can go on land sure but this ain't meant for that
Useless piece of shit, could have added turbos or superchargers and put the engines in a way so that the props are counter rotating, the once in the rear dont provide much thrust
