Scoot

Scoot

Much like the air boats used in the Florida everglades, scoots are boat-like vehicles powered by a propellor mounted at the rear. While the everglades air boats are used because a prop would get tangled in the swamp, scoots are used to cover broken ice, especially during spring thaw. Built in home garages, scoots have either a plywood or metal hull, and use an actually airplane propellor for power. Commercially manufatured scoots are uncommon. Competitiors vie to be the fastest.
