My new ride.
Shown with seat in the down and folded back position. Love the open deck for fly fishing. Reports to follow.

Does that turntable the seat is on lock into position? Looks like you will be standing on it with the seat folded back.

The seat locks in normal seating position. Unlock it and it swivels 360deg.

At least now the Tarpon won't have to jump as high to hit you with another cross body block!

After a couple outings I am pleased to write that I pretty much love this boat. Spent the day fishing with a buddy and we probably paddled 3 miles or so. At no time did I feel I had to play "catch up". Speed was just fine. Standing is a dream. Wind is much less of an issue than it is while using my U12. The wheel on the stern is handy as hell for pulling the boat around.
The only negatives I can see so far is the lack of handles on the sides and when I get into some pretty good chop I'm guessing I might get wet.
So far so good.

Looks a little like a paddle board with a seat. I'm interested in how it will hold up as the wind and waves do the same. Rigging will be interesting as well
