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. So rather than walk a few miles they fired up the air boat on the trailer and one driver in the pickup, and the other twisting the tail of the air boad over 50 mph. ( OH YES ---those two would)--- no power steering, and brakes weren't so good either.
I'm sure they broke some laws, but wonder if any laws were written for this exact crime? I have to wonder about grandma driving down they hwy and meeting a (usualy quiet running) pickup with her window down.
I have always heard that a tail wind would get you more MPG.
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.
