Interview with a Madman

Hoping to be able to paddle a SOT Raptor at Albion.

+1
Definitely want to demo it

   Thanks to all of you.       I sure appreciate all the encouraging words.    Special Thanks to SCallen and Pole Pole for that interview.   That is sure to give a bit boost to a fledgling company.

    Sledge,,,     we'll have to " fish n talk" bout that.   

   The stability of this thing will blow you away.  It's the main reason I decided to build these in the first place.  It's so hard to keep quiet every time I read  a posting about a guy who accidentally flipped and  lost gear.    
     Speed,,, well we all know it's not as fast as a Scupperpro !!!      Eh Craig?        With GPS I clocked an avg a 3.5 mph  headed out to the Mile Bouy  at an easy pace, not pushing it.    That's about an average speed for that length / width class of other fishing kayaks.    I hit a 4.5 mph over a short burst, but don't really consider myself a strong paddler either.    BTW, that was on the ocean with a slight chop, have not tried it on a glassy lake yet.
  I'm def headed to Albion,   Counting the days now.    Of course you are all  more than welcome to take mine out for a test paddle.     Sledge will be there to assist and write up orders.      
       
     Those rear G Whiz  hatches are more for access if needed, for whatever rigging you might want to add.  Exterior transducer,  wiring for live bait pump, steering controls, etc...  They can also fit  those drybags inside.   

I'm bumbed I can't make Albion this yr the timing of it is off for me...but Tiki Lagoon will be ready to take orders

Looking for a good change and when opportunity knocks I say open the DOOR!!!  Look forward to some discussions OTW Jim!!! Be well and cya in the Fall!!!
