I really don't know what to say..................It sort of looks like a giant bobber when it's in the water.

Nice design!

'Must be fiberglass & foam, I'm guessing.

Even has a 'cuteness' factor going for it.

Seems to be about the size of an Eriba Puck, @ 5Wide and all.

Cheers,

Now that is so cool! Ugly duckling in water, but still cool.

It is interesting and has a nice shape. It might be nice to go fishing in because you could lie down and take a nap while you waited for a fish to bite (if you really cared to catch a fish). But, it's usefulness for camping seems limited. It doesn't look like it has much storage for clothing or food or galley equipment. ...Can you imagine what the weight of stored cast iron cookware might do to it when it was in the water? :lol:

Where'd Finn when you need someone to read and tell us more about it. Neat concept but looks like just a enclosed boat mainly.

I'm guessing if you run out of electricity rowing back to shore could be a problem! :o
