Exclamation Top-heavy

Winnipesaukee boaters would recognize many of the photos and graphics shared by the Florida Boaters Guide. One difference is that one full page is devoted to airboats and stresses the airboat's top-heaviness hazard.

The following quote is taken from an entertaining and well-written introduction to airboating:

Quote:
"...Be on the watch for root clumps, large 'gators, and other obstacles in the trail - an airboat is so top-heavy that if you hit something in the trail it can easily knock you over...."
