I know this probably belongs in the anything that floats. This boat is pretty cool.

Very cool, and good for bank launching and portability. I wonder at that $6K price point if it will find a market. You're close to conventional boats with a trailer at that level. Plus, probably not too good for studded boots;-)

Rows and fishes just like a normal boat, studs are fine with the hard bottom. The only noticeable difference, being so light it gets pushed around in the wind a bit. The fly shop has one and they're real happy with it.

You would be lucky to find one a conventional drift boat for 8 or 9 k comparably outfitted and that is without paint and with a painted trailer not galvanized. This boat has all the advantages of an inflatable and a drifter.

Talked to a couple folks that have rowed it--apparently it's a nightmare in wind...

The lesson of this video: use a bead.

If the purpose of the video is to introduce/showcase the boat, it's a total fail. Like to see some details & specs.
