AIRRANGER IN THE DETAILS

The AirRanger Difference, Up Close

What sets an AirRanger apart isn’t just how it performs — it’s how it’s built. American Airboat Corp. constructs every AirRanger from marine-grade 5086 aluminum, a material developed for the U.S. Navy and resistant to over 400 chemical agents, including saltwater. Every hull is hand-welded by certified welders, and every extrusion is shaped using American Airboat Corp.’s own custom-owned dies, giving full control over alloy and temper for maximum strength. The result is a boat backed by a lifetime hull warranty and a 10-year warranty on stainless steel — details you won’t find matched anywhere else in the industry. Take a closer look at the craftsmanship behind every AirRanger below.
