Holy crap, that is like something out of a bond movie. Especially how the wheels fold up.



I wonder how well it handles in the choppy water, doesn't have much of a hull, would be cool for sliding accross lakes though.

A downrigger brings back memories when I went fishing up north to Canada for salmons. What a bad day I had... I love fishing to...

I've got electrics on my boat now, makes life so much nicer. I started with two cheap *** manual ones and they sucked, but now that I have the electrics it seems like they sucked more LOL
