You are me both, I've even thought about selling my boat for one.

I see soooo much benefit from one especially being able to drop into any river I want and go. I would go with a hybrid but the solid construction Fiberglas has me sold. Nothing to delaminate on me and it needs to be big enough for a dog.

I've got a 14ft boat for bigger-ish water, and a kayak for small places. Figure if a friend wants a boat, this little guy fits in the back of a truck and weighs a wopping 100#, otherwise if nobody does I'm going to camo it up and sell it in about a month for $200 to some hunter.

How stable are they? Being that skinny, it doesn't appear to be very solid, but it's also fairly flat bottomed.

You people drive on frozen water. What are you worried about stability for?

That's a sweet rig, what kind of blind do you have on it?

This was last years blind b/c I had a console and outboard on it.

I am going to be making a new one for my new boat layout. It will pivot in the middle like this one but instead of folding down on one side its going to fold down on both sides. The blind last year was too tall although it gave you alot of room to move around. I am going to start a blind build thread, so everyone can follow along.

Lol. My son looks like a small tyke in the picture, but he is sitting on the floor of the boat!! He's 16 years old 6'1" and one heck of a hunting buddy . Here is a pic of him.

I'm kicking myself.

http://www.boatcountry.com/m_vehicledet ... 6204&ps=10

I came across a boat identical to this one this spring, except it had a 150 Yamaha instead of the Honda 115.

Brand new $24,700 plus tax....such an idiot.

It's pretty much my ideal open water layout tender. Damn.
