Impressive! I'd try it in the salt. Will that be one of the AOTY prizes?

wow that thing is big...now if you could only hook a 2hp 4 stroke to the back of it! 

Impressive for a small boat.  I see it as a boat not a kayak, but what do I know? 

I'm surprised that the wheels don't retract like landing gear on an airplane.

Wow, that is a sweet ride on the water.. fishing machine!...

I want one!! I'd just need a trailer with a winch for the extra weight and launch it like a boat.

Zee, how much does this weigh?

I think it's 88 pounds dry, without the drive..

That doesn't sound to unreasonable.  If my dad had better use of his legs (diabetes), and lungs (ex-smoker with COPD) I would suggest this boat to him.  He likes to fish and crab, but doesn't have the storage space, cash or trailering ability for a traditional boat.  Kayaks are definitely too narrow for his balance.   

Maybe put a small trolling motor on the PA so he doesn't have to deal with the exercise part of it. 

heh, 88lbs "dry" weight... peddadling weight 138    definitely a trailer item.. hang onto your azz pocket when you look for a electric motor the new minn kota terrova's can go as high $1900.00

Scratch this off his recommendation list.  Prolly need to go with an inflatable.

talk to Zee about the hobie I series... that might might work better even considering his breathign troubles.. 99% peddaling vs. 100% paddling... 

Ah yes, I remember those warm water days...
