what is your thought of the ultra skiff??

[stripernut]

Very interesting, on their website they show guys rolling them to where they want to launch and they even fit thru a standard doorway when rolling... I wonder how many lb thrust those trolling motors are? I will say, at least with my canoe, when I run the trolling motor out, paddling is not that hard, paddling the "Skiff" would not be any fun...

That thing is great. I would absolutely own one. Wish there was a way to test one. Their site says 6' diameter, and 125lbs. Could get heavy with too much gear. A cart of some sort could be useful. This thing has me thinking.

On their website there is a video of a guy using a hand truck...

A brand new 12ft jon boat is lighter and cheaper and you could probably get a trailer too for less than that. I'd still like to try one out just for fun though

But this looks way more comfortable to stand up fish in than a 12' jon. I like it!

Edit: Looks like it's about $1600 retail. I think I'd be more interested if it were half that or even a bit less. You can get a decent kayak for $700 and this should be direct competition for a kayak. I think it's a great concept, but too expensive. After a battery and trolling motor you can get a Hobie Mirage kayak with a leaning post.

Save your money and buy a real boat-
