  Yes I do, I like that movie.  It gives a pretty decent representation

  Yeah..  He lived near me, I think.

Not really.  There's not too many places *in* Louisiana where a fast
boat would be any good.  Off the coast, maybe... Or in the middle
of the Red or Mississippi Rivers.  The best boat (my opinion)
would be a big pontoon boat, or a swamp-skimmer. (Flat-boat with
a big fan on the back.)

No offense taken, but that's where most people are wrong.  Only the
southern 1/4 or so of La. has anything approaching swampland.
Lousiana is shaped like a boot, and only the 'sole' and 'toe' of the boot
have swampland.  I lived in wonderous Leesville, and the only thing we had
that approached a swamp were some wide, slow moving creeks.
