how much are they?

 

[yorgi]

He saw their display at the Fishing show, they'll also be at the Sportsman's show. I asked him the exact same question, he hasn't emailed me a response yet. Anybody else know the price ?

 

[adrock]

thats a good idea would love something like that.

 

[bojano]

I could use one. Great for moose hunting. Camp away ...

 

[yorgi]

Just found out that the price is $8K......

Back to the beat-up 14-footer for me......

NOT A CHANCE!!!
Might be okay fopr flat water ponds and lakes,
but where I go it would get eaten up in a seccond on the rocks ,and get beat silly from side waves!!

I noticed that in the videos - the don't show it taking a wave from the side... I'll be curious to hear about anyone's actual experience with it if & when someone forks out the $8K.

I already gots one.

 

[Anglinfool]

$8k isn't that bad for what you get. I'd like to see it in heavy "seas" before I bought one.

 

[Amphibious]

hmmm... hard chines, planing hull...

yeah, death trap in rough water

I'm sure they'll sell well in ontario, lots of little lakes and people with money

I already gots one.

Someone had to take it to this level!

What a piece of junk and does very little if nothing well! 950 pounds dry, 1500 pounds with motor etc and only rated for 35 horse motor? That tells you how stable a craft it is. 950 pounds and look how much tip it has when he sits in the back corner. Its a glorified short light herring skiff only herring skiffs are usefull.

For 8k you can get way more boat than that No thanks!

Looks like an aluminum pick up box with an outboard. Sorry but that is the silliest thing I have ever seen. And dangerous in any kind of open water.

 

[BC Bigbore]

Only an idiot ("cottage country" dwellers come to mind) would buy a hunk of junk like that

 

[captonion]

Here is a hunting boat.

Are you on the Clearwater in those pics

The first pic with the canopy up is on the Athabasca by Mountain rapids.
The second ( if you are familiar with Ft. Mac) is on the Hangingstone, taken by the walking bridge.
Not much water there.
I've had 'er up past the firehall numerous times.!
