This 2022 Duck Water Boats Airboat 23 is purpose-built for shallow-water hunting and exploration across marsh, wetland, and remote terrain where conventional boats cannot reach. The aluminum construction—quarter-inch thick hull with 250-gauge marine-grade plate—provides durability for challenging conditions including soft ice. The design prioritizes ruggedness and shallow-water performance, with a large propeller engineered to navigate over vegetation, mud, and ice. Steering is controlled through rear baffles managed by throttle input, which requires continuous power engagement unlike traditional steering systems.
Twin Chevrolet Levitator 7.4 LS gas engines deliver 550 horsepower each, powering the airboat across extreme shallow water. The hardtop cabin includes navigation and interior lighting, with seating and accommodation for ten people. A Century drive and whisper-tip propeller are fitted for efficiency.
Equipment includes a Minn Kota Terrova 36-volt trolling motor with Spot Lock, Lowrance electronics, bilge pump, and full USCG safety gear including lines and fenders. A 2023 Karavan tandem-axle airboat trailer is included.
