How can you reduce the noise that an Airboat makes?

Airboat FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
Noise is generally related to prop speed. One way to reduce prop noise is to reduce the spin rate or rpms that the prop turns to provide the needed thrust. This can be done several ways. The lighter weight composite props deliver more power at lower rpm and produce less noise. This has been the key improvement in the last 5 years. Many of the ways to reduce the amount of vibration and noise transmitted to the aluminum hull are proprietary. Some hull coatings will reduce noise.

Sometimes my dog makes a weird gagging, snorting noise. Is this a problem?

Can shrubs or flowers be planted around an outdoor unit?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. However, we recommend that plants be no closer than 18 inches (45 cm) to the unit. This allows for plenty of room for air circulation in and out of the unit. Without this room for air circulation, the unit could overheat, resulting in a premature need for service, excessive wear, excessive electrical consumption and possible compressor failure.
