Because of limited access to the specific area where the leak was occurring and the amount of rust in the area I was trying to seal, I was only able to improve the situation, not completely stop the leak. The best I can say is that it appears to work, but since I couldn't actually see the entire application area, I can't blame the less than perfect results on the product. I don't know if I was able to achieve 100% coverage, but the leak was reduced by a considerable amount. If the only allowable answers are "Yes, it works as advertised" or "Run away as fast as you can", I would choose the former. |

I often purchase from Amazon and within a day or two after receiving (and sometimes even before it arrives), they ask for a review. I don't write a review until I've provided a decent amount of time using a product, depending what it is of course. I agree, I've seen some reviews people wrote soon after receiving a product then say, "I'll update later", but never I see an update. |

The amount of higher HP is surely required for ground travel due to a large increase of friction. I wouldn't do it since the bottom would become increasingly damaged over time. |

Newer hulls may have a metal plate on the bottom to prevent hull damage. Say 3/16 " aluminum. (example). Yankees in the North have adopted airboats from the South for use on frozen lakes - EMS rescue. |

Yankees in the North have adopted airboats from the South for use on frozen lakes - EMS rescue. I'm waiting for our bay to freeze up so I can go down and watch our local VFD practice with their airboat. It doesn't look "adopted" but I guess they can color them once they get them. It's cool (no pun intended) when they practice soon after a snow fall. The air boat sends up huge clouds of snow as they maneuver around. It's also neat to watch them "float" the boat up onto the trailer with a bunch of guys surrounding it and guiding it into position. They are often working inside a huge cloud of swirling snow. |

I tossed my roofer a can. He tossed it back. I would think it would help.
