Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 4, 2012 at 11:37am: But Leo is never gonna be a regular boat kinda guy, JB. LOL :D

Comment by JBplusThuy on March 4, 2012 at 11:17am: At what point will that thing spontaneously morph into a bass boat overnight? I think it may be nearing critical mass for that ;-)

Comment by Dennis on March 4, 2012 at 10:46am: Now that is a nice rig Leo, hope to see it on Lake Havasu soon

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 4, 2012 at 8:59am: Holy Crap, Leo ... all thats needed now is catapults for launching aircraft!

I'm with Jeff; that isn't something I'd expect to see everyday, or any day for that matter. But it looks comfy and stable. Is it a sail when the wind kicks up? And how long does it take to set up?

Comment by John Sheehan on March 4, 2012 at 8:42am: Great work Leo .Man you're dedicated!

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on March 4, 2012 at 8:10am: THANKS LEO for the info and thought maybe there would be an sssssssssmall amount of disassembly required LLLLLLLLLLLLLOL!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on March 3, 2012 at 7:51pm: David, I have to disassemble each time I get it into the minivan. The frame stays the same and pontoon bladders get deflated. The wheels need to come off. Bagscan stay on but holy smoke, the entire weight of frame, bladder, and bags can be quite heavy. There are trailers and rear rack systems. But that's another $400 that I'm not investing in. I rather invest on the Prowler float. Indeed the pontoon is stealthy. I managed to hover over a school of gills just 7ft above them without spooking them. I saw beds as well. But, the were not interested in biting.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on March 3, 2012 at 6:41pm: HEY LEO,

Nice looking inovative rig!!! How do you transport it and does most of the stuff stay on it in transport mode? Several good things about it but the most striking is it will proabably go anywere shallow and stealthy.

Comment by Tony Livingston on March 3, 2012 at 6:13pm: That's pretty sweet Leo, now get out there and put it to good use!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on March 3, 2012 at 3:56pm: This is just the rirst trial run for the updates. I found some quirts that needed hammering out before I shove a 4 stroke Yamaha outboard engine on it.
