.sunlover Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I showed these to a few co-workers, pretty awesome reactions. Might have a sale or two for you guys after the move to TN We would be happy to sell to them, you have a choice of strap, seat, foot grip, and port hole color. Of course the vinyl wrapped boats cost more than our basic $1500 models. Quote Link to comment
.sunlover Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Looks like a nice shallow water vessel! Good to go in about 6" of water. Looked more like 4" with my skinny ass on it. Quote Link to comment
.sunlover Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I haven't forgotten about the go pro whitewater challenge. It's gonna happen, I was talking about it to a buddy, he's ready to do it. We will also be in the organic beer festival, we got invited by the guy that puts it on, right when we got to the party. The bikini float will be next weekend, on the lower Clackamus. 2 Quote Link to comment

.sunlover Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well, we dropped the boats in at the Milwaukee boat ramp, to head to the blues festival. This is all the oiks I got before, I assume a key scratched through the food saver bag over my phone. Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I seriously need to see this in less friendly waters. I imagine waves would not be ideal, but I could easily be wrong on that. I'll just be patient. Quote Link to comment

The whole way down to the blues festival boaters were buzzing us full throttle, and I didn't need to sit down for it. Quote Link to comment

But mainly, I'd be interested in this as a fishing toy. And it would need to track well to keep the front forward when you are fighting and being towed by the line. If I hooked up to a 500lb Ulua or Ahi, I'd hate to have to cut the line. Edit: 50lb. 500lbs is heard of, but no way on a kayak or Sunlover. Fuck that action. 1 Quote Link to comment

I honestly haven't tried any of that, so all I can say is, I expect that it would do well, it has done everything I needed it to do excellently, and wouldn't expect any of that to be a problem. You would be pretty low on the water with a 500lb fish onboard, but the turnability and straight tracking adjustment would be determined by if you were using your removable tracking fin or not.

tr8er Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Sorry. 500 was a phone typing typo. But the tracking fin sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment
.sunlover Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Here's version 1 of the fin. We (Jesse) desided we need 2 smaller removable fins that can carry wheels, so you can grab the front end, and carry your goods and boat by the front end, and drop it in the water, wheels and all, and still get awesome tracking. (love working with geniuses) I don't have a pic of that yet, but here's version 1, Jesse's first adaptation to make our first 20 boat sale. 2 Quote Link to comment
.sunlover Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh, shit, how do I start, first an appology to my 521, neglected, but dry, from lack of time, but the first new thing to share is that we went to a dual tracking fin, so we can do wheels, and haul the gear and beer easily into the water with awesome tracking...
