Think about it .... aeroDINK(tm) .... a people's dinghy. With built-in live master bait well and bubbler.

Are you trying to get Doug's attention with those baited words? But Aerodink is a masterful marketing touch . . .

This is called brain storming.
If you get the non functional rubber dingy. Tie it between a tree and the tow ball of your car and stretch it. Then lay it up with fibreglass you would have a sleek kayak.

Now add the skis from boat on skis.

The front rowing system for dingys

The air jet coming out of the back.

Throw in a few more suggestions from different threads and....and...?

Where was that rocket propelled boat . . . ?

If you manage to pump the thing up with a compressor & air line just hope it doesnt burst, it could cause a lot of damage. Many years ago at Thames marine one bored lunch hour some of us hooked an elbow length black rubber glove to an airline, it swelled to a prodigous size until it resembled a mishapen naval mine with five horns like cucumbers. It actualy held the 105 psi in the line. At this point we realised it was not going to go on its own so somebody threw something sharp. The resulting blast nearly deafened us & shifted a mirage 28 yacht that was nearby several feet sideways. Happy days!

yes i know how dangerous air pressure can be , but i would do it under controlled conditions, like hang it over the fence . i don't want to be rude but are you sure an exploding glove moved a 28 ft boat several feet.

If it actually stalled a compressor at 105 psi it could have a great deal of energy, but I find it surprising too.

[Poida]

Ancient Kayaker, the compressor wouldn't have stalled. Either a pressure switch would have turned it off at 105psi or the unloading valve would have engaged and the compressor would still run but not pump.

You should Google "Bull Frog" boats.

[whitepointer23]

just had a look at the bull frogs, we have similar boats here, fibreducks and allyducks.
