AR-502mktg..htm - from American Airboat Corporation - Manufacturers of the World's Finest Airboats

   We at American Airboat Corporation deliver what other boat manufacturers wish they could promise:  The best construction materials, the highest standards in manufacturing quality, the best warranties, and the best performance value in an all terrain vehicle. 

Picture Yourself at the helm of an AirRanger  Airboat  .  .  .  .

Your rudder control is in your left hand, your foot is on the accelerator pedal.  All the instruments and switches are in a weatherproof  box on your right. Lift the transparent cover, turn the key to engage the starter.  The motor springs to life.  Hit the accelerator and you are off like a rocket. (see photo)

This boat performs!  The AirRanger has set records for acceleration and speed and still holds the world's record for airboats on land.  The records were set in a stock AirRanger.  This racing heritage can be appreciated in the latest design.

You can feel the power on land and water. A 500 h.p. AirRanger literally flies across the water and yet can carve turns as if were on rails.  The quick acceleration and confident turns are the product of years of testing and refinement. 35 years of developmental testing has culminated in the design of the new Air Ranger.

This boat features weatherproof cases housing instruments, switches,  GPS location finder, a CB radio, and cell phone

This roomy 20 x 8 ft. boat provides comfortable seating for 6 plus over l000 lbs. of gear.  It not only gets you safely through the shallow water in can move with equal ease over dry land. 

Over 35 years experience went into our latest hull design.  The hull is so rigid and durable that American can extend the best warranty in the industry.  The trick is to combine the rugged durability with performance.  The latest AR design meets this challenge.
