Mitchell, Bob...this has your name all over it.

Theres some places up North of me that I could fish and surf with access like that.
Would be a blast.

I built my better mouse trap
But looking for a plastic mold man to make my new canoe hull....with never before seen design...
It's in my head ? after catching a 44in YT a 45in halibut and a 30in halibut plus freshwater bass and trout and a a dozen or so surf launchings I no what I want in a hull design....float like a butterfly sting like a bee ----->

I like that its pretty much un sink able. Like a boston whaler. Little safer than a canoe or inflatable.

Ya hear this a lot, and it always sounds a little bit like a dare to me....

I'm just thinking about all the fishing possibilities with this bad boy. Looks fun!!!!

The video is cool, but they didn't show how it does on a choppy sea. Would it still be stable at those speeds?

Other then that it would be cool to have a longer range. I could see the value in that. Heck, on a good day you might get out to the Coronado's, definitely reach any offshore tuna.

Take my money!!!!!!
Perfect for flyfishing!
Can I demo one at OEX sunset?

[YakHanded]

This is another company Hayaari Marine that makes a similar boat - pretty cool too:

There are tons of videos on YouTube. There are is one where it is going through white caps, another through surf and a nice DYI dolly.

[Baja_Traveler]

Exactly - this!!

When I get mine I want Bob to get busy with his drone!

For all those who are serious about getting one, there is a great Solo Skiff Owners Group on Facebook. Lots of good info on motor recommendations, rigging and general use. I had read early reviews stating that the 3.5 HP Tohatsu is adequate and the way to go, but this group has convinced me that for a lard butt like me a 5 or even a 6 is the way to go.

So who is going to be the FIRST to do a Greg Andrews roll in one of these at Leo? SDROB, that thing should outrun a GW so you would be good to go.

I found a Gregor 14 with almost new 20 Honda ready for Baja, Should be there in April. Thanks guys.
