I dont' see why they would call this a 'bubble' boat seeing there's
little 'bubble' about it, but it does look like it could be fun,
that
is *IF* you can find clear enough water to use it.

Apparently, the designer gave it that name.... doesn't make much
sense, though, does it....

I'm guessing that the project went Tango Uniform,
sincewww.bubbleboat.comnolonger resolves to an active address....

You're right, Gene. it didnt' make much sense, and i didn't realize
that page was almost 4 years old. still it's kind of a cool little
craft but would be utterly useless around here. But seeing it was an
Austrailian company, I suppose they would have enough clear water on
lakes etc to have 'em down under.

eh... who knows?

There are lots of places where this would be fun. The Keys springs to
mind. Where we were in Nassau you could see bottom in 20 feet of
water.

Oh, i know. but from where I live it would be great, 'just about
anywhere but here'

LOL!


Yeah but... we'll be the ones enjoying perfect boating conditions from May
till October.


As long as you don't want to get in the water.
I suppose I could get used to 75 degree water but I prefer it warmer.

Boating is pretty much perfect here now if you don't mind it being in
the 70s. My wife still wears a jacket and long pants at 75 and doesn't
even want to go if it is colder than that.


75 F water would be hard to find around here. Anything in the high 60's
will do for swimming.
