Rugged ice water airboats: long-lasting and customizable
Made for the outdoors enthusiast seeking unparalleled access to the world’s most remote places, our 18’ Sportsman ice fishing airboat delivers. This tough ice water airboat for hunting, fishing, exploring or accessing your isolated cabin, the Sportsman is in a class by itself. You can fit four people with gear in the Sportsman or six people without gear.
Powered by a GM 7 liter, 520 HP, LSX engine, coupled to a Century Drive CH-3, this tough rig is the industry leader in performance and reliability. Multiple layers of reinforced composite, married to a virtually indestructible UHMW polymer layer, gives you a boat that’ll last for years to come. In fact, most of our boats, some built over 25 years ago, are still in service.
Easily transition from ice to water in heated comfort and safety. The 18’ Sportsman can handle anything from icy Lake Huron in January to the smallest inland lakes and rivers.
When the going gets tough, you can depend on the 18’ Sportsman’s durability and reliability.
CASE STUDY: Red Bull® needed a safe way to get their climbers, film crew and support staff to the ice cliffs on the south shore of Lake Superior. So they called us.
