I'd use something like that if I had a little kid on the boat. Not for a
dog, though.


There are a lot of boaters who cruise with dogs and who really pamper
them.

Empty nesters seem to be the worst. (If it's a bad thing, which it
probably is not).
I know of several boating couples in their 50's, 60's, and 70's who
consider their dog almost as close to heart as one of their own kids,
and maybe only a half step behind a grandkid.

If they find a market for this thing, don't be surprised if a lot of
people hook up their doggy life vests, etc.

One of the best attended seminars at the last boat show we had in town
here was "How to Cruise with Your Dog".


Oy.
