That is at the head of the silver river in Ocala Florida. Plenty deep at that location. The springs look shallow but are deep.Not enough mid for a tall transom.

...that boat has a completely flat bottom at the transom. thats a 20'' shaft motor. the boat has no payload in it yet. the water is crystal clear. its a promotional shoot only...
Is there anywhere left in the boating world where you can still do this??Quote:

I had heard that some of Mercury's underwater videos of propellers & lower units, were videoed at Silver Springs Florida because of the crystal clear water.Quote:

Silver Springs is over one hour north of Orlando Florida, and was a major tourist attraction.
But when Disney World open in the 1970's, the tourist attraction for Silver Springs started declining.
I remember going there in the 1960's waiting in line to get on the glass bottom boat, but in this video the current tourist traffic is way down. It reminds me of Cypress Gardens and other water ski shows declining too.
