Haha. Not me. The kayak does not determine the fishermans skill. Nor his pocketbook.

You'd think you would at least get a Mirage drive, or a 100hp outboard for that $$$$$$.
Plus, I don't think the wife is gonna go for that purchase. :smt044

I think that is an expensive optional add on. Not to mention the additional operating costs. :smt044

I can guarantee we are not their target market.

I think they have a nice product for a price appropriate to those who see the value of that kind of kayak.

Remember when Herman Miller introduced a office chair around $750.

Now Herman Miller furniture is coveted by the same people who thought they were crazy.

Agreed, these will adorn the decks of mega yachts, between the sea doos and the 50' sportfishers they keep on deck.

It's pretty, but it doesn't look very practical to me. Like a short, narrow, sit-on-top one-man canoe with hatches.
