Tweak the design a bit, and call it the aqua tear...

Of course we have something similar in the archives already! :o

No not this one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Put a pair of pontoons on a tear :twisted:. I remember seeing pictures of a small trailer with a hull section the trailer was pulled up on many years ago.
Actually this might not be a bad idea. :thinking:

That big and only sleeps 2? A quick redesign . . .tent on top?

If you went to actual pontoons; save weight

Many possibilities with the concept

I think Steve Cox was kicking around ideas along these lines awhile back too. Interesting stuff.
