No, I'm not promoting someones product here. However, this is an interesting twist on pontoons. As much discussion goes on here about the best, or the the most versatile, I thought this would give y'all something else to think about. I know a few rivers where having hands free from oars would be a huge advantage. The company is only a few miles away from where i'm living now. They are setting up a demo day and I plan on trying one of these going down the Green River right below Flaming Gorge Res...a perfect spot where I employ alot of the same methods for big browns as I did for steelhead on the smaller coastal stream in a one man inflatable. I'll post a report on it as soon as I try it.

Besides this.......

"They are great for getting your cardiovascular exercise"........and "go out for a quick workout"

Don't you find the significant possibility of "rocking" the prop a danger?

My guess is the boat is rudder steered? That would involve the use of hand(s), no?

Do you think the up and down knee action would bother your ability to fish?

Just my $.02.....but I would like to hear what your experience was like when you get to use the boat.
