Hey DC, trust me, I penciled out a frame that I could put an outboard on. I found out one thing that put the kabash on that. I'd have to have a title created and register my boat (aka my tubes) and license it each year. There's NO WAY I'm putting a set of #'s on tube and a year sticker on my cat.

I had a good talk with Os on Monday. He stopped by and we talked frames and BS'd for awhile. I have a good idea on a frame, just need to get together to build it.

Hey Dogfish. You're talking some pretty decent money for a cataraft. Just say it this way, just tubes alone will run you in the 2k range. That's not including frame, oars, and all the misc. JUST TUBES. I bought mine used quite a long time ago for $1800. You can buy complete setups from some whitewater catalogs for around $2700. Go to http://www.aire.com or http://www.nrsweb.com and look for catarafts. There you'll get an idea what we're talking about.
