Title: New 'yak from Native Watercraft

Hey Paul,

This may be the boat you're lookin' for...  It could be great for those with bad shoulders and/or hips.

Nice...

But pretty sure here in NJ you'd need to register that with DMV, put numbers on it, pass a safety class, carry a fire extinguisher, sign away your Social Security, etc, etc, then you'd still need to haul yerself in and out of it....

WB, I am sure you are right.   Thanks for think of me SeaFlea.  but I can tell just by looking at the video that I would still have a problem sitting. comfortably.

If you see the knees of the operators they are above the belt line which means it is past 90 degrees.  I have to keep my knees below that mark as the implants are susceptible to popping out if the right conditions occur.  Not good, that is why so far the only boat that is in the ball park is the Slo Mo boat.  I wish I had the capability of making my own to my own specs.

I have been looking into it but I would have to come up with my own design and that takes time.  I have other projects on going right now that I have to finish first.  We'll see... 5hrug

Again thanks for the heads up.  I guess us old farts need a battle wagon to get around instead of a Yak we might need a Quack... :P

Happy Catching

Paul
