I'm going to tell on my self. Down in the Keys I was launching the boat for our fishing trip. Had the boat down in the water and tried to drive the boat of it didnt move. Mom in law, wife, sister in law and brother in law all watching. I get back in truck to ease a little more into the water. Well the boat not being hooked up just drifted out into the cove. I just looked and they all had there good laugh at me. Didnt think anything about it three years later unti my mother in law gave this to me today. She didn't forget. We all had another good laugh again.

A fishing buddy of mine has one, it works great most of the time, not always. I didn't ask him what it cost. I figure if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

He's the guy that took a blind buddy of ours fishing and told him to hang on to the rope while he backed the boat in. The only problem was the other end of the rope wasn't tied to the boat and the boat just floated away, gently down the river. The blind guy usually out fishes us, he says it's his sensitivity. I think it's his dumb luck. If he gets to smart with us we won't give him any beer, but then he just takes ours. He waits until we get a fish on and sit the can down, and it's gone. I took him fly fishing with me once, I had to cast it out, then I would hand him the rod and he would take it from there. He caught 9 trout. I was afraid he would fall in, so I didn't do that anymore. He wants to go again, but no! Well,,,,,,, I might take him if he buys the beer.

It looks cool. A guy could make one but it would be a lot easier to just buy one. The trihull Glaspar could use it. Should probably modify roller trailer into a bunk trailer and add one. I’m amazed the guys v hull goes right into it on a roller trailer in the video.

Yes it would be faster and easier to buy one.
