Jump'in Gee-hose-a-phat's
Fly'in Palm Beach Footsteered Single Rudder 4 banger Heritage Photo!


Following Comments provided by Stossel Airboats:
thats an old picture there cowboy, That would be Bob Stossel Sr. at John Prince Park, It was an Airboat and Halftrack club of Palm Beach county BBQ, He is riding maybe the first 4'-6" bottom by 11'-6" long hull of his own design, with a 65 HP continental,I remeber it as if it where yesterday.


Bob Stossel Sr. after serving in the Air Force, designed the first single airfoil rudder for an airboat, still used today, it actually makes high pressure on one side while making low pressure on the other. it increases side to side push to move the boat on dry ground and thick vegitation, It takes little movement to get a boat to take off, that is if it can go in the first place.

Used to run my little 10' flipper boat with 20hp merc over the ski jump in our lake. No way with an airboat, that nuts. Looks like he had a good take-off, but I bet the landing hurt.
