I was at my local fishing/outdoor show yesterday and came across this ?….I don’t know what to call it. Anyone else see this or heard of it?  Sorry in advance about the photo quality. Just curious more than anything at this point.

Back in my Search & Rescue days

and seeing how that 'angler' is without a life Jacket

in a 5 foot 'boat', we'd call that Unit Case Number 279-23.

A smart business man would call it a $2,799 profit over the old design.

Well, the thing is shaped like a unit, so there's that. 

You coukd get a nice aluminum boat for that price!!

Any thoughts on this?

 

Thought: Roto molding should be outlawed for making "boats" of any shape...

Looks very nice.  I could find ways to use it.   Will you take $200?  ?

Run like hell.

No thanks

The exact reason I didn't attend the Tinley Park show. LOL

 

Just realized the second picture with an engine on the "vessel". To support J Francho's post. imagine what a hole shot would make that "vessel" look like?   

My first thought is, that looks like the most difficult thing to peddle man has ever invented.  

that makes on sense to my feeble mind.  that entire nose is unusable..maybe that is the storage spot of the PFD.

The 1st prototype was even worse believe it or not.

Pretty sure it's the counter balance so if you lean back the whole thing doesn't just tip over.

 

My thoughts...I'll save my money and pass on this one.

hahhahha...at least the prototype was the correct color for a boner.  hahahhahah

 

i suppose you could tip toe out to the front to pee.  hahaha..  it does save weight i suppose not building 30% of the front.  

 

i would google it but i dont want to end up on some watchlist for goofy people. 

I just realized the one at the trade show has a gas outboard attached.  I'm guessing a 9.9?  I'd like to see someone hit 20mph in that thing!  But not someone I know or care about.  

Too much money.  If it's going to be a plastic barge then I'll stick to my $600 pond prowler.  If I want a human powered pointy thing then I'll use my kayak.  

Wait a second are you supposed to use your feet to operate the paddle?

I think so lol

Yes and no, the gentleman demonstrating had a video going showing it being paddled with feet sitting and arms standing .
