That's a great idea Paul,
Maybe not building the fancy strip built, but to build a S&G combo waterwalker/pontoon boats. Not a high priority for me to build, but I just love thinking of the possiblities, thanks, you're always an inspiration.

Way back when, my uncle (as a young entrepreneur) tried to sell waterwalkers, thinking he was going to make millions, didn't happen.

Doesn't my youngest daughter make that look easy, WAIT! that's not her, she's standing on the beach

Actually it looks like she's in some kind of race, but where's the PFD? She knows better than to be out walking on the water without her lifevest.

: Scott and Ross, you should consider making "water walkers" out of
: these.
: You would need a pair of them, preferably matched in displacement, if not in
: design. The length and width would be whatever you needed to get a total
: submerged displacement of your weight plus about 50 pounds. Don't confuse
: this with a displacement of a boat at its normal waterline, or you'll
: build much larger than you need.

: Strap one on each foot by putting foot harnesses similar to that used on
: snowshoes or waterskis in the cockpits and go water walking.

: Definitely wear a PFD, and you may want to carry a longish paddle.

: If you make a saddle which can bridge the pair of cockpits and hold the two
: boats together, then when you get tired of waterwalking you can tie the
: two boats together, sit down, and paddle home while sitting on top of the
: wide and stable platform.

: just a thought
