I don't recall seeing this one discussed here before:

Pretty interesting idea that it comes apart, and no part weighs more than 45 pounds...

I'm not liking it because it's 140lbs assembled.  :smt003

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty interested in this one. Looks really comfortable to fish on and move around on. I’m a big guy so the wider it is, the more appealing it looks to me. I’m just not sure about it’s sea worthiness. When you get into some swells and it starts rockin and rollin, the seat adjusts up and down but I don’t think it goes down far enough to help keep your center of gravity low enough if the water gets rough while you’re out fishing. Just from looking at pics and the few videos it has available, that’s one of the main things I’d change.  But for freshwater fishing, I could see being comfortable fishing all day long in that thing.

I’d really like to see how it handles the ocean. Hopefully they will put up some videos of that.

I'm sure the boat will handle the ocean fine, but you won't be comfortable without a seat belt on that thing.   :smt005

It is a version of a southern Micro Skiff, it looks primarily designed for flat water IMHO.

We finally got a chance to get it out yesterday and its a great flat water fishing vessel. Jackson Kayak Rep said they have tested it in the ocean and it does pretty good in swells up to about 3 feet.

Thanks for the info. It would be cool to see a video of it in action.
