I have used one of these as a tender in Mahone Bay for the last four
years. They are very stable and with my 4 horse outboard tracks true
because of the 3 large folding runners. Also ya can't hurt 'em.

Some New Brunswick company used to show those at the Halifax Int
Boat Show, although I haven't seen their booth the last couple of years.
They were expensive when our $ was only worth 62 cents US. Wonder
what they cost now?


About half the cost of an inflatable the same length. Without those
fat tubes, it's a lot roomier, too.

Also needs far less power to plane, so there is a additional big
savings on the engine for it.



What's the hull material on those folding boats?



Never mind...found out.

The photos I saw looked as if there was no flotation on the boats.
Is that the case?
