A couple of my friends decided they needed a air boat. There was nothing in our area so the fly to Texas and find one they liked. They took the pickup and trailer to Texas and south of Des Moines Ia they ran out of gas with the pickup. They tried to drain some gas out of the air boad, NO WORKIE.

Us town folks were just happy to hear that they were ok, and also relieved that the air boat was loaded on the trailer in the right direction so they did not have to back the pickup and trailer to the gas station.
