This canoe-kayak hybrid has a transparent polymer hull that offers paddlers an underwater vista of aquatic wildlife and waterscapes unavailable in conventional boats. Seating two people, the sturdy canoe hull is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. Easy to maneuver, the wide canoe displaces a greater amount of water for more surface stability, and the paddlers sit lower to the deck, resulting in better balance. Adjustable seats allow paddlers of different heights to personalize their leg room. With a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, it can be easily stored or transported to and from the water. Includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices. For ages 16 and up with parental supervision on calm water and while wearing a U.S. Coastguard-approved life vest. Weight capacity 425 pounds. Made in the U.S.A. 33 1/2" W x 133" L x 11" D. (40 lbs.)

Definitly interesting.  Gee maybe you could get some good pictures of the "landlord" as it swims underneath,  or  , maybe not.  Is the paddler in the picture considered the additional floatation or maybe this might be better used only in fresh water?

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

I believe I recognize that paddling technique. I call it "shove away from the rock before the next swell drops you down on it."

It's only $1600 (model not included)  :smt003  Maybe we should inquire about group discount!  :smt044

"The wide hull displaces a greater amount of water for more surface stability"

Hmmm, obviously not written by anyone who understands the principles involved. Funny though, you put a pretty girl in it, and I want one.

I guess I need a ski boat too, they always seem to come with pretty girls.
Always willing to join others in the Monterey/Santa Cruz/Half Moon Bay area for a bit of fishing...feel free to contact me.

would be fun to have where the water is clear, but I wonder if to the Landlord you look like a big tasty meal floating on top of the water since he cant see the yak..  :smt003
