Does this count?... Duck boat to jet bass boat...

[SleepyDragonfly]

The boat has a 420lb capacity and is 8' x 4' and 14" deep. Perfect for my 4 year old and I. I could never trust her to be safe in a little kyak in my price range on a fixed income.

Not sure if I should be impressed or terrified

WHAT.....No flames painted on the sides?

 

[colonel00]

No rod holders?

Even worse, no beer...er...soda holders?

That Sir, deserves a standing round of applaus. It looks both dangerous and fun at the same time.

Have you given it a test run yet?

I will be painting it purple black and yellow in the near future... With bug eyes on the console as I plan to name it Sleepy Dragonfly!

Oh.....what made me think you were joking???? You can swim, right?

Just one of the many bass boats here goes by you at 60 mph and you will be back at Home Depot buying a new leaf blower for the yard.

It is foam filled and I am adding two additional hull channels that will increase buoyancy by 75lbs. This thing Is crazy stable.

Please make sure the kid has a life jacket on.

Ive hunted out of one of these a few times and I dont see it taking much more than a ripple to make things go south in a hurry.

Life jackets are law here and she sits on a throwable that is clipped to her with a lanyard. When i took it to the water, it was amazingly stable and ran 1.5 inches higher than the standard water line.

That would be seriously awesome! Especially since I am on a fixed income. I would share every experience on youtube.

The boat's name will be Sleepy Dragonfly. The bass chasing the dragonfly will be on each side of the console and the pair of sleepy eyes will be on the front of the console.

Humans never cease to amaze me. I dont know about the stability, but Ill take your word on it. I havent been in your boat. Any type of video would be great. Even if it from a cell phone. I know its been said already, but safety first! From someone that has never been in this style of layout boat, from the look of it this thing makes my lower orifice clench. Atleast bass live in shallow ponds too. Its definitely interesting.
