Brilliant. It doesn't appear safe for deep waters like major oceas, but then again, If the titanic had 3000 of these, really how much weight can it be far as lag and Its better to have this rather then nothing. I would imagine lots of lives can be saved with this idea. Good work pioneerpaddler, bottzxl32

- Finally . . . its great to see comments with vision to see the real value of this new concept as being a pop-up LIFE SAVING water craft... - It was initiated by both sons immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005... - Available materials for larger proto sizes have recently become available to us... - A larger size has fit in confined spaces such as a small trunk of a late model Corvette or small closet... - U.S.C.G. approved closed cell foam is next. - thanks for your comment !
We have mounted several different models of trolling motors many different times. . . and without any special mounts or support boards required. The thicker and so more sturdy 1/2 inch material worked best, while the endwall or stern or transom portion did waiver back and forth too much on the thinner 1/4 inch stock, , , , We have also tried a side mounting on the heavier stock, but it proved too difficult to steer without a side daggerboard being placed on the opposite side from the motor.
WHAT IF THEY FLOOD AND CAN A PERSON GET IN FROM DEE\P WATER IN OTHER WORDS A EMERGENCY SITUATION ..... ITS A GOOD WATER TOY

I realize the boat is lightweight but wouldn't fishing in it on a calm day be safe enough? It seems to be handling the weight really well.

I want the one that folds up after you get in it! I just want to lay in it in calm water.

- The 26 inch by 122 inch with 1/2 inch thick walls
version held 3 standing persons totaling 450 lbs.
- The draft was 4 inches with 7 inches freeboard.
- That version holds 115 lbs. per vertical inch of
draft...
- It was not originally intended to serve as an
instant fishing boat until more recent available
materials allowed larger sizes.
It was first intended to be a LIFE SAVING craft. - Eventually, a dedicated extrusion machine
will be forming them according to our own specs.

@pioneerpaddler what kind of materials are you using and how you make it waterproof?
