Sweet looking ride, look at all that real estate

jorluivil · 02-07-2013, 11:17 AM

That thing is bad *ss!!!

That would be perfect for those long days when you get sleepy.

Matar · 02-07-2013, 11:26 AM

Since it is a rowboat with catamaran stylings, you will face the stern with your back to the target. I like it!

Hah! The jury is still out on that one. That's the reason I went out the first time when it was 0-1 at The Shores. Honestly, it did grab an edge for a second coming in, but I was able to straighten her out. I'm thinking it could get sporty anything over 3, so I'm going to stick with 0-3 for my days. I'm hoping having two oars to work with will help keep it straight, kinda like white water rafting style. Another option will be making a "landing drogue" if it becomes an issue.

We'll see, hopefully not too many yard sales......

roadx · 02-07-2013, 07:47 PM

room for two?? PM, seriously i have been thinking of the same platform for a while now

JarrodMc · 02-08-2013, 12:19 PM

Yeah man I saw you out there at the same time we were launching. that thing is badass!

mtnbykr2 · 02-08-2013, 05:33 PM

that is one sweet ride right there, and look what can be done with a little imagination and "get er doneness?" welcome to the, well I don't even have to say it..."the addiction"

PESCAHOLIC · 02-11-2013, 05:05 AM

If paddling backwards isn't your thing. I had a similar catamaran that I used as my fishing kayak. With the right length paddle you should be able to sit facing forward...Check out some of my old posts for reference.

are you missing a zero? can it hold yourself and any passengers? if so, that good bring many priceless memories with your children .
