TNT at the Outfall Canal in Hernando
On June 7, 2025, Nauti Boys Mat, Outlaw Airboats, and Cut Rite Outback hosted a Hernando TNT (test and tune). Several hundred airboaters parked in the shallow waters and the bank along the Outfall Canal to watch the airboats test their machine's power. Josh Wingate won the Unlimited class in his Cooper Strong airboat. Mostly everyone just had some fun grudge match racing and run what you brung. It was just a great day in the marsh along the Tsala Apopka Outfall Canal off SR 353 in Hernando, Florida.
