You could board behind one, it just has to be a pretty long rope

No, you don't want to board behind one. The blast from the fan is bad enough, but the spray is worse, and god help you if it gets grass or weeds into the fan and you get a salad shooter from hell.
They are fun as hell, tricky to learn how to drive, and can be very dangerous if you act like an asshat.
Lots o'swamps down there in T-town?  |

| Nope don't have one, but I am picking up a surface drive soon. They are also a lot of fun. |

| Some swamps down here, but Ive just always wanted one since I was a kid! Now the only thing that has changed is the fact that I can afford one! |

Skywalker022, I've got a bit of experience with them. My dad has access to 3 or 4 of them through his company and we'd take them out on weekends. They're a lot of fun to drive but not really useful unless you really need to get through swamps. I definitely recommend spending plenty of time in open water getting used to driving them and taking it slow if you're crawling through brush. They can be really dangerous if you mess up, we've had a few close calls.
haugy nailed it on riding behind one. Could you? Yeah. Would you ever want to? Absolutely not. |

If you foul the prop with the rope, you'll be boarding AND winching at the same time. Double bonus points.
