Not at $3,450 + shpg & handling. Although if Adam sells enough Mavens.......?

I love the claim about how they are environmentally friendly :roll: ... someone call the Sierra Club and have them reach their marketing dept.

Imagine...

imagine the possibilities!

Think of the attains and the drops you could run over and over – and not get tired (physically – but man would that be boring)!

The wild rolls you could come up with in moving water, in holes and going over water falls!

No longer would kayakers be able to make fun of the T-grip – you’d have no grip (you had to have lost it spending that kind of cash)!

And best of all you could head out the door and swear to the significant other that you were NOT going paddling – no paddle required!

My only question is... does it whip your hinny for you too?

Actually I see a segment that will be buying and trying on a river near you – Oh the humanity oh the horror!

explore the Tranquil waters indeed...while everyone else there in canoes and kayaks tries to harpoon you!

Thankfully a lot of the lakes are motorless around here (including electic, I believe).

It IS an interesting boat, and at least they used a 4 cycle motor, but still....

I would hate to flip one in whitewater....a custom made squirt version could be interesting..oh yeah, that's called a submarine.... Coming up with an extra air source would be important to then, I should think....

What the world really needs....a jet powered Hydrobronc!

Or, wait until the tuner crowd get's it's hands on it...a nitrous enhanced boat could be very interesting ocean waves I would think....


Back to designing the integrated harpoon in the Maven (for rafts too!)

Some stats on the Adirondack Park:
http://www.adirondacks.com/adkhistory.html

• Adirondack State Park - 6 Million Acres
• Over 2,300 lakes and ponds
• 1,500 miles of rivers
• 30,000 miles of brooks and streams

http://www.adirondackexplorer.com/acanoearea.htm It’s estimated that only 3% of the Park’s surface waters are motor-free.

Never too late to join the quiet waters campaign! The goals of the campaign are modest in seeking just 2% more motor-free waters. See the article above for details.

The Forever Wild Forest Preserve is a global gem, one worthy of preservation and protection, take it not for granted.
