A Boat To Tow Behind Your Elio?

[BigWarpGuy]

I think that is neat. One could tow a couple of them behind an Elio.

They are cool for sure, but nearly the price of a base Elio. Even the used ones I've seen on their forum that have a ton of hours on the engine go for several thousand bucks. I'm going to make my own. A little longer, with a built-in beverage cooler up front, wicked stereo system, and LED head lights for night fishing. Still messing with the design. Think I have some pics on my home computer of the "progress"...or lack there of.


But yep. Motorized kayak? I want one! Logistically, it would be much easier to put in at a local boat ramp. Cruise up 10 miles or so. Kill the engines, and float down to the ramp. Storm coming? Fired it up and haul a$$ for safety. Got caught more than a few times in some wicked [tornado spawning] stuff.

Making your own sounds like a cool idea. When it is made, post pictures of it. I would be interested in seeing it.

Should be in production the 4th quarter of 2016.

That's almost small enough to play in on the watering hole on my property (when it has water) but if I fired it up I'd wind up shooting across the hole and up the embankment.
